<p>After all the <a href="">hoopla</a> over Bungie&#8217;s forthcoming E3 announcement, it <a href="http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&#038;cid=14782">got the stop</a> from its publisher (Microsoft) and had to shelve the whole thing. Bungie went through a shitload of work, from what I could see, only to get everything stuffed by Microsoft. How much does that suck? And then, <em>really</em> kick Bungie in the junk, <a href="http://multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2008/07/16/microsoft-confirms-bungie-is-developing-new-halo/">some  xbox rep confirms that Bungie is working on a new Halo title</a>. What a way to take all the glory from Bungie, especially after they went to all that trouble and build up.</p>
<p>GRRface, indeed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So I&#8217;ve reached a level of geek I never thought I&#8217;d even approach.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve now played D&#038;D. And not just, you know, <em>played</em> D&#038;D, either. Instead, I am DMing a campaign. Just jumped right into the deep end, something I never do. (I mean, come on, the water is usually really freaking cold).</p>
<p>But you know what? It&#8217;s fun. That&#8217;s right, I said it. It&#8217;s FUN.</p>
<p>I mean, where else can you retaliate in a god-like way when someone annoys you?</p>
<p>So far, I&#8217;ve only played with Nathan and Ethan. But last weekend, we had this conversation:</p>
<p>Nathan: &#8220;I check the altar to see if it has anything inside it.&#8221;</p>
<p>DM: &#8220;It&#8217;s a solid stone block. Your check reveals a solid stone block.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nathan: &#8220;Okay, then. I want to smash something. Is there anything I can smash?&#8221;</p>
<p>DM: *withering look*</p>
<p>Ethan: *withering look*</p>
<p>Nathan: &#8220;Okay, I attack the pews.&#8221;</p>
<p>DM: &#8220;The pews are made of stone, like I said before. You break your sword.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nathan: &#8220;DAMMIT!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, yesterday Nathan and I visited my dad and his girlfriend for the Fourth. We played bocce ball, pool, darts, etc. An interesting day, to say the least. I had the opportunity to shout from the basement to my father the following:</p>
<p>&#8220;DAD! WHERE DO YOU KEEP YOUR BALLS?!&#8221;</p>
<p>That question, of course, was in reference to the bocce ball set he claimed was down there. Yes, we did eventually find the balls.</p>
<p>Later that night, we ended up playing darts. I&#8217;m winning, all I have to do is hit a single bullseye.</p>
<p>Mmmm. That&#8217;s right. All. I. Have. To. Do.</p>
<p>Anyway. So Dad&#8217;s GF says, &#8220;She can do this in one dart!&#8221;</p>
<p>Nathan replies, &#8220;Pfft. She couldn&#8217;t do it if she had TEN darts.&#8221;</p>
<p>I throw a dart. Not only do I hit the bullseye, but a DOUBLE bullseye.</p>
<p>HA! EAT THAT!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[soooooo&#8230;take a gander at the gallery. I was just trying to do a quick format thing today and instead learned CSS by accident and created a new skin, along with modifying the navigation bar, putting more than one row of photos on the index page, and getting thumbnails square.
My head hurts.
Gimme feedback, people.
Um&#8230;please?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thus far I&#8217;ve managed to fix the borked php. My server did a good thing and disabled the ability to use PHP to open a url (now, that&#8217;s how the random images showing up on the right side of the page worked). I had to find a replacement. Finally found the <a href="http://blog.unitedheroes.net/curl/">curl command tutorial</a> and now the random images are back up and working. Huzzah! Next came enabling comments again. Actually, they&#8217;ve been enabled the entire time. I&#8217;m just an idiot and forgot to include the form and tags on the individual entries.</p>
<p>I swear, I&#8217;m smarter than I act.</p>
<p>Really.</p>
<p>Stop giving me that look.</p>
<p>Anyrate, next is the forum skin, because it&#8217;s <em><a href="http://www.madowl.com/forums">awfully bright</a></em>.</p>
