Picspam, still bravely singing

Yes, it's the binary palindrome day, and it's (more relevantly to me) the Skyrim release date, oooeee. So I'm preparing to completely waste my weekend. But that's not what this picspam is observing.

I totally saw that Indianapolis one a few years ago, except with Dallas and Cowboys Stadium interjected.

And please tell me the "I don't know, do you want to play hockey?" came from a cell phone in Canada. :P

Yup, the 604 code covers Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.

"I can see no way in which this carefully laid plan could ever fail."

Hee. Kitty reminds me of my protagonist.

All right, I'm too dense. I need explanations for the Colt 45 and the MC Hammer ones.

I've decided to start putting hovertext on those pics that are a little...obscure. The MC Hammer pics were put up by a helpful father teaching his son which things he could not touch, and the Colt 45 and the note were left at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

Ah, missed the hover text. Thanks.

so...how is skyrim? i think my plan to wait and ask for it for christmas stands - i went and bought a used wii so i can play zelda skyward sword when it comes out next sunday instead :)

As far as I've gotten into it, it appears to be Oblivion warmed up just a bit and deeper than ever before, and for my money, Oblivion was the gold standard of RPGs. I'm having some trouble with it on the PC (it was clearly written for the console and halfheartedly converted -- using the mouse has occasionally locked the entire game up), but if it proves to be half as good as its predecessor, it will be a hell of a good time. (And I had to update my video drivers, but it was overdue.)

I think if you don't get it for the PC, it should be less hassle.

i'm not much for PC gaming, so thats fine with me. hello, xbox 360 :)

[sigma7.livejournal.com]

You'll probably wanna get it for the PS3, though -- the Blu-Ray has better graphics installed, whereas the 360 enhanced textures need a patch/download or some such.

ahhhhh. good to know. my source for all skyrim data :)

Between me and my Esteemed Colleague from Elsewhere, who cannot yet afford a PC capable of running Skyrim (and is...profoundly tormented about this situation), it's been constantly in my forebrain for a few months now. It's the only thing I've seen a commercial for in Hulu and marked the ad as "relevant to me." Even the glitches make it moar awesome.

But lemme know how Skyward Sword is....
