Lack of Raves

Yay, a friend and me finally fixed some shelves and other stuff in my room. Now I'm redesigning it, even though it's very hot in here.

I just got back from the Pemberton Music Festival where I saw these bands:

Tom Petty
Coldplay
Nine Inch Nails
Flaming Lips
Jay-Z
Interpol
Tragically Hip
Death Cab For Cutie
Wolfmother
My Morning Jacket
N.E.R.D.
Metric
Sam Roberts Band
Vampire Weekend
Matisyahu
Wintersleep
Minus the Bear
Fiery Furnaces
Grand Ole Party
Low vs Diamond
Airborne Toxic Event
Monte Negro
Annie Stela

I missed Serj Tankian and a bunch of the acts on the little stage but seeing 23/32 of the performances seems pretty good to me.

Yessssss! I just got my Batman Animated Series in the mail.

Absolutely ridiculous deal. Thanks so much to BaB. I got all the seasons for $17, PLUS when I did checkout I chose the faster shipping option, and it still applied the promotion of $8 off.

I'm so happy.

Plus it actually shipped immediately. This is the fastest shipment I've ever gotten.

You probably wouldn't be interested anymore, but a complete SERIES set is slated for release later this year.

Hahaha, that's a lot of Batman. I didn't really watch anything but the first animated series. I was hesistant about buying volume four, which is the new batman adventures - I don't think I watched that much either.

I think he was referring to just the 4 Volumes.
Collected with some artwork and other stuff.

I've never heard of it.....

There IS a collection up on amazon, and I think it goes for more than $130. I got all four volumes for $62.. so I think I made the right choice.

Oh, there's one up for preorder and it's $76. That's not too bad.

A Team Fortress 2 update was just released, and Valve has fixed some very annoying things. Most importantly, the health bonus given by the back burner is gone!

That did piss me off, it gave the pyros what I felt was an annoying advantage. I need to play some TF2...maybe tomorrow. I hope they do a soldier, sniper or spy update soon.

Heavy update is next.

I would say soldier and demoman will be the last updates they do, since they need the less work. I would think that Spy would follow after Heavy, but they might do Spy/Engi at the same time, so that if the spy gets another method of taking down buildings or something, the Engi has a way to combat it.

I do feel like they should give the Pyro -something- back, though, because they're underpowered again. They need to expand the size of the back burners back-hit box. If you imagine a clock, right now the crits only work when you are directly behind the person, at 6-o'clock. I think they should expand it to be from 5 - 7, or at least 5:30 - 6:30.

It's like the guys at Valve decided to do the updates in the order of classes that I play as the least....

Seriously, I spend most of my time playing as a Solder, Sniper, Scout, Spy or Engineer. I'm not a big Pyro, Demo, Heavy, or Medic fan.....uggh.

Evidently what they are trying to do with the Heavy update is give him an option that makes him less dependent on the medic. I would definitely play that kind of Heavy.

Right now I play Demo/Soldier, and Scout occasionally.
