For me, constant worry about things in my life has kept me too occupied to think about it.

Don't get me wrong FiM is a great show, and once I catch up with everything I missed over the seasons I'll feel that little pang of loss, but the same way when The Last Airbender, Ed, Edd, n Eddy, Scrubs, and Fururama ended, the sum of what it gave me is greater than the loss of the show ending.

Plus, it's not like it's gone. Box sets, streaming, undisclosed downloads, there's always a way to go back and watch it.

Plus, would FiM pulling a Simpsons really be the better path?

Kinda had interest in the new CoD, but I hear the install is nuts.

Plus I'm still waiting on that new modem to come in, so any online activity is pretty limited right now.


I didn't mind the install because I preloaded days before. :)

The Weekend Update Patch hurt me though. Like an hour for a couple of gigs even with fast internet.

So what are you guys doing to fill the gap FiM left behind? It feels like, even though we were warned months in advance, I was still blindsided by it ending. I very much doubt any other show will have its same charm.


I've been rewatching Season 9 to get a full feel of the finale. And I also started watching Watchmen on HBO. :)

Yeah, I'm behind the times over here. I don't even have cable available. Though I did get a text that my modem shipped, so I there's that at least.

But I haven't played competitive games in years, since BF3. Even in GTA I'm either doing things solo or helping friendly randoms out with their stuff.

I did notice some vehicle combat though. Wonder if it's any good.

I think I should just avoid thinking about the finale. They just did too good a job giving the show and characters a final send-off, with those past character collages and that final song.

well, the anni stream is still going to happen next year, and i'm going to sit in it for five straight days again. i haven't watched all the eqg stuff, but i did end up actually staying awake this time for friendship games and the camp everfree one. also, they were pretty good. one of the shorts has the best resolution of all time.

i'm keeping people furious in the souls series at being dunked on by a guy named after a pony.

the only real gap it has left behind for me is my sat ams are free now.

Plus, would FiM pulling a Simpsons really be the better path?

no, a thousand times no. we were lucky with what we got, and we're lucky it ended the way it did, too. this show will not have to suffer its legacy. it won't be like me trying to explain to anyone under the age of like 20 how the simpsons used to be the best thing on tv.

i've actually compared the two shows in total sincerity and i meant those comparisons. i still do. i grew up on the simpsons of that era. on its reruns. i remember how amazing it was. it makes me wonder how it would've been if the simpsons had started now, in a timeframe where the creators and fans could communicate so easily. maybe there would've been simpsons conventions. who knows. that's a ramble if i've ever typed one.

I remember a couple of great weapons are the 12.77mm SMG and riot shotgun from the main game and the LAER from Old World Blues. Those should take care of some tough enemies.

I came up with an idea for a sci-fi dystopia where at birth, everyone gets a chip implanted in them that makes them unable to see anything violent or controversial. Instead, this imagery is replaced with something more friendly or innocuous. But some people, for one reason or another, don't have these chips, so they're baffled as to why nobody is reacting to this horrible thing right in front of them.

Because I like to write.

Because it was something from me that I could share with someone.

Because, if for a fleeting moment, I didn't feel as lonely.

It's no use wallowing and lamenting. I honestly don't fully grasp why folks put all their chips on a TV show. TV shows end. Franchises end. Putting it all on a finite thing beyond your control is... It baffles me.

Ross's Game Dungeon is amazing and you should totally watch it. He mostly covers super obscure games you very likely have never heard of, though there are a couple big-name things sprinkled in there. He plays through the whole thing, even if that process isn't entirely smooth. Like one game that only uses German text, so he had to use a program that scanned for text on screen and automatically translated it, but there were a couple instances where it didn't work for some reason, so he had to blindly guess his way through.

Also, no obvious signs of frame damage on the car. Had a mechanic lift it up today and inspect it. The foglight assembly as I suspected was hit pretty good, and knocked a mounting brace clean in half. It won't fall off, but it'll have a wobble until its replaced.

Also, he has a strong suspicion that the entire passenger fender was replaced. While done very well, there's some clues here and there that support it. Glossy paint on the inside of the fender, where it's supposed to be dull, paint rubbed off the mounting bolts, stuff like that.

So while I'm not thrilled, there's no structural damage, which is what I was really worried about.
