  Timeline: 2010-2011
Posted by: robkelk - 12-11-2013, 01:15 AM - Forum: Fenspace - Replies (4)

Looking at the timeline on the FenWiki, apparently nothing happens between KandorCon and SOS-Con except a few things on Earth in 2010 and one runaway fenship in 2011. Obviously, that isn't true - at the least, CrystalCon is held. But what else of note happened?

(I rather need something to be going on in the background for the one-on-one game I'm running...)

Avicii - wake me up.
"Wake Me Up"

Feeling my way through the darkness
Guided by a beating heart
I can't tell where the journey will end
But I know where to start

They tell me I'm too young to understand
They say I'm caught up in a dream
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Well that's fine by me
[2x]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

I tried carrying the weight of the world
But I only have two hands
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
But I don't have any plans

Wish that I could stay forever this young
Not afraid to close my eyes
Life's a game made for everyone
And love is the prize
[2x]
So wake me up when it's all over
When I'm wiser and I'm older
All this time I was finding myself
And I didn't know I was lost

Didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know I was lost
I didn't know (didn't know, didn't know)

  Madoka Magica Movie 3 - Rebellion
Posted by: robkelk - 12-10-2013, 06:19 AM - Forum: General Chatter - Replies (4)

Just got back from seeing the third Madoka movie. Avoiding spoilers (at least in Ottawa, there's another screening this weekend), I'll just say the movie's title was not pulled out of a hat.

While they've laid the groundwork for a fourth movie, this one does stand on its own if you're familiar with either the TV series or the first two movies.

Stay for the after-credits footage, and note that it's supposed to be choppy with periods of blackness.

(Oh, and at least it wasn't smoked cheese.)

  Is that orc a spy?

Latest Snowden revelation:  http://www.cnn.com/2013/12/09/tech/web/ ... ?hpt=hp_t2]NSA infiltrated WOW and Second Life to make sure terrorists weren't "hiding in plain sight".  They had so many spies in the games they had to set up a special group to make sure they weren't spying on each other.
Must be a great job, playing MMORPGs all day on the Government's dime.  Your tax dollars at work, people.

My FLAS had the pre-release tourney this weekend.

Anyone desperate enough want me to see if they have anything left?
