Show of hands, Who heard/saw that the Air France jet is lost somewhere in the Atlantic and immediately thought of Lost?

I've never considered myself a Buffy the Vampire Slayer Fangirl. I enjoy the show. I own a good chunk of my favorite episodes on DVD. But I've never gone out of my way to fan on them in the same way as Highlander, Stargate, or Doctor Who.

That being said....

I am absolutely insulted that these hacks would even dream of going forward with this without involving Joss Whedon. I am pissed off that they would even dream of producing a movie that throws over 10 years of canon from two series and the comic books out the window.

This "franchise" (and I'm not fond of using the word franchise because it implies that someone besides Joss has the rights to be playing with it) does not need a reboot. If anything, it needs to continue to build on the rich mythos it already has.

In EW's article the writer says:

"The only reason that Buffy remains a viable franchise is because of the rabid, happy-to-purchase fanbase. And the only reason that fanbase exists is because of Joss Whedon. (There are actually t-shirts out there with "Joss Whedon is my master now" printed on them.) Why leave all that money on the table simply to make a shoddy Twilight-lite? Because there's no way those fans would turn out if Whedon wasn't involved -- what's more, they'd actively work to undermine it in every way possible."

And while I can't claim to have my finger on the pulse of the fandom, if my personal feelings are any indication the last part of the comment in the article is absolutely true. Joss Whedon is a huge part of the reason why Buffy is still alive and kicking. A Buffy without Joss feels like a slap in the face to everyone who has enjoyed the show and has no business being considered and should be undermined in whatever way possible.


Guess I'm a bigger Buffy Fangirl than I thought I was.

US Democracy Server: Patch Day

Version 44.0


President

* Leadership: Will now scale properly to national crises. Intelligence was not being properly applied.
* A bug has been fixed that allowed the President to ignore the effects of debuffs applied by the Legislative classes.
* Drain Treasury: There appears to be a bug that allowed loot to be transferred from the treasury to anyone on the President’s friends list, or in the President’s party. We are investigating.
* Messages to and from the President will now be correctly saved to the chat log.
* Messages originating from the President were being misclassified as originating from The American People.
* A rendering error that frequently caused the President to appear wrapped in the American Flag texture has been addressed.

Vice President

* The Vice President has been correctly reclassified as a pet.
* No longer immune to damage from the Legislative and Judicial classes.
* The Vice President will no longer aggro on friendly targets. This bug was identified with Ranged Attacks and the Head Shot ability.
* Reveal Identity: this debuff will no longer be able to target Covert Operatives.
* Messages to and from the Vice President will now be correctly saved to the chat log.
* A rendering bug was affecting the Vice President’s visibility, making him virtually invisible to the rest of the server. This has been addressed.

Cabinet

* There was a bug in the last release that prevented the Cabinet from disagreeing with the President, which was the cause of a number of serious balance issues. This bug has been addressed, and we will continue to monitor the situation.

Judiciary

* Many concerns have been raised regarding balance issues in the Supreme Court. This system is maintained on a different patch schedule, and will require longer to address.
* A large number of NPCs in the Judiciary were incorrectly flagged "ideological." We are trying to identify these cases and rectify this situation.

Homeland Security

* Homeland Security Advisory System: We have identified a bug in this system that prevents the threat level from dropping below Elevated (Yellow). The code for Guarded (Blue) and Low (Green) has been commented out. We are testing the fix and hope to have it in by the next patch.
* Torture: This debuff is being removed after a record number of complaints.
* Item: Large Bottle of Water is incorrectly generating threat with TSA Agents when held in inventory. We are looking into the issue.
* Asking questions about Homeland Security was incorrectly triggering the Chain-Jingoism debuff.

Economy

* Serious on-going issues with server economy are still being addressed. We expect further roll-backs, and appreciate your help identifying and fixing bugs. We can’t make these fixes without your help.

PVP

* Reputation with various factions are being rebalanced. The gradated reputation scale was erroneously being overwritten by the binary For Us/ Against Us flag.

Quests

* The” Desert Storm” quest chain was displaying an erroneous "Mission Accomplished" message near the beginning of the chain.
* The quest chain that begins with “There’s no Cake like Yellow Cake” and terminates with “W-M-Denied” has been identified as uncompletable, and has been removed.

Reagents

* Many recipes that currently call for Crude Oil can now be made with Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Ethanol reagents. We hope to roll out even more sweeping changes in the next patch.

Events

* The “Axis of Evil” event is drawing to a close. Look forward to the “Rebuilding Bridges” event starting in January.

I just don't know about me sometimes....

July 27th,2004. I sat and watched a state senator from Illinois give a speech that fired us up. I watched him and said this guy is going to do it. I didn't think it'd be this soon but he did it. He fucking did it.

A gabillion years after I really should have photoshopranger has a smexy new layout. I also posted wallpaper there.

Based on this: http://brieal.deviantart.com/art/Vote-Baal-For-President-100273738

I can has new Dr. Who tickers?

Why yes you can.

Please proceed to http://community.livejournal.com/photoshopranger/49403.html in a somewhat orderly fashion.

It's that time of year again....

Time to count down to Christmas...because everyone knows what happens at Christmas right?

Of course! We get more Doctor Who.

I need pictures for count down banner thingies.

Suggest pictures here! KTHXBYE.

So I have this stock account in Deviant art. I don't do much with it. If I create a brush pack or take a photo that I think will probably make good stock art I'll upload it. But mostly I ignore it. So anyways, I took a pretty decent photo of Old Glory waving yesterday and since I'd needed and not found some American flag stock art in the past I figured I'd upload it.

So I logged in. First off, between faves, comments and notes I'd amassed close to 500 messages since I last logged in about January.

Oy. So I'm sorting through everything, faving people who've used my resources and I come accross a comment on my coffee stained brush saying that I'd been featured in an article here http://digitalscrapbooking.com/magazine/features/article128 ZOMGWTFBATMAN! That article was actually in the magazine. It would totally explain why I had close to 50K worth of page views on the brush set. Geebus!

I is shocked and amazed. I just wish the author had bothered to drop me a note so that I could go pick up the magazine.

Zomg is it Saturday yet? *squee*
