Evening Reading

So uh.. I heard a rumor that some odd economy stuff is going on here in the USA. As long as Diablo 3 keeps being worked on though I imagine we'll all be ok.

As for the the videogame news around these parts:

Lastly, thanks for all the positive feedback on what we're up to with the library stat integration with news items. Maarten and I think it could really be a big step towards some pretty interesting stuff.

    Er'd so for great costume discussing justice...

    Shackers we are only about month away from Hallo-freaking-ween. So any costume ideas?

    So far I was thinking about going as the horse half of the Cathrine the great and horse myth. Complete with WTf horse mask: http://cgi.ebay.com/Latex-Horse-Mask-Full-Over-Head-Faux-Fur-Mane_W0QQitemZ360074025273QQcmdZViewItem?_trksid=p3286.m20.l1116

    That, or possibly Sergio Leone's man with no name:

    or possibly Che Guevara:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara
    If only because I could rock some facial hair like that in no time.

    So has anyone decided what they are going to be?

      I could definitely pull off sarah palin if i felt like doing the same thing as everyone else.
      i have a friend who's having an alice in wonderland themed party so i was considering doing something along those lines, but i have no idea.
      i havent actually come up with a costume idea and done it in years.

            very true wtf242, they make fun of your $300 jeans then spend the same on ugly ass sunglasses they will never use as they spend most of the day in their basement cubicle at work.

            all they do is buy those and then go 'heh... yeah i'm cool' and that's the end of all fashion considerations as long as the glasses still exist

      If I actually go to a halloween party, which is rare because they are fucking stupid I will dress up as a guido, tight pink polo with popped collar, some gold chains, spike hair and a shitty chin strap beard.

      Make sure your Guevara costume says, "I don't know who the fuck this is." on the back.

      I wanted to go as the Ledger Joker, but I'm finding out that it is going to be very expensive to track down a suit that looks good enough and fits right.

      I have all the makeup and a scar kit so that it would look awesome, but if I can't get the right clothes, there's no point.

      Probably I will just go as one of his henchmen.

      I want to be a wigger for Halloween; last year I was a dudebro (the kind of preppy asshole who unfacetiously addresses people as "dude, bro") and, well, I thought it was amusing at least. But it's fairly likely I will be doing something with my girlfriend, so we've talked about dressing as Akbar and Jeff (from Matt Groening's "Life in Hell" comics), or as each other. Since I am not in high school, I am not really that amused by guys dressing in drag for Halloween, but my girlfriend is admittedly a bit mannish; by her own admission, "the world's least plausible heterosexual".
