No, not the tits variety. The musical kind, real Nerdcore.
MC Frontalot's latest album, Final Boss, was released on November 4th. I got it in the mail today, the 6th, and I am pleased. I already have a digital version of the album, but the album itself is awesome in physical form. I can't decide which is the best song on the album, Canadia, Tongue-Clucking Grammarian, or Scare Goat. They're all good in their own ways.
Those who played On The Rain Slick Precipice of Darkness: Episode 1, may remember a song from the end of the game called Final Boss. Frontalot is responsible for the rhymes therein, for those who were unaware.
This post concerns you, fo'srs. If you didn't know, there is a Destructoid clan in the Kingdom.I'm making this post for two reasons. The first is to make everyone aware OF the clan.
However, it's also to inform everyone in the clan or wishes to join it that the former clan leader, Eschatos, has been inactive. Why does that matter? Since I was the next highest ranked in the clan, the leadership has fallen on to me. Thus, I want to promote the clan and get it well known so we can be a respected clan over in that community.
If you HAVEN'T heard of Kingdom of Loathing, I highly suggest you check it out and play for a day or two. It's totally free, and all browser based. You can pay to get some items, or you can save up in game currency and buy them FROM the game.
So, tl;dr version. Come join the Dtoid clan, I'm the new clan leader, and play you some KoL.
Basic looking shiny black case with piracy sticker from the Jinx.
I have an ASUS Motherboard, MSI Vidjacard, and a Pentium 4, which are what the other stickers up front are for. NOW THE INSIDES!
It looks like ass and a mess, I know D:. I don't have twist ties to re-tie everything, and I to cut some loose to install my third HDD (visible at the bottom right of pic 3 of the post). Third pic shows my fans, including my sexy new 80cm ASUS fan. ALSO! These pictures were taken while my computer was running. I <3 my camera.
Last two pictures show my desktop and setup, with my now 3 year old mouse and keyboard...and what the rest of my desk looks like for the most part.
AND FINALLY A FOOD BRIBERY TYPE PICTURE. You know you want some.
So, the FNF and TFTuesday guys already know about this, but not everyone, so I'll start from the beginning.
My CPU fan has been slowly dying over this past month. In that time I reinstalled Windows (backing up all my Valve stuff to my giant F: drive so I wouldn't have to redownload.) All this has been keeping me from playing TF2, which sucks hardcore.
That all changed Monday. A friend bought me a new fan as a birthday present. It finally showed up today in the mail, and it's awesome. A sexy sleek 80cm Asus fan to replace my mostly dead standard Pentium fan. It was a bitch and a half to get it attached, but it's well worth it. 100-120F running temp (including during gaming) compared to nearly double that.
I am pleased, and TF2 action will recommence soon. I might not make FNF tomorrow, due to the boyfriend visiting over the weekend. But either way...I'M BACK BITCHES.

I am a furfag if the avatar didn't make it obvious, I make no attempts to hide it. Is that a bad thing though? Not in the slightest. I'm not one of the retarded fuckups of the fandom, I'm rather mellow and sane really.
Moving on... I'm not a HUGE gamer, but I game enough. I dig card games and board games moreso really since they don't require specialized hardware that costs FIVE HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE US DOLLARS. Mostly I like the non-collectible non-standard varieties.. such as Munchkin, Fluxx, and Hex-Hex. I like Axis & Allies, but it takes to damn long to play regularly, and I need people who know how to play before I can play really.
I have a Wii though, and I remain a Nintendo fanboy because I'm not so big on Sony and Microsoft. I'm more a fan of the Mario series and weird games like Cooking Mama and Warioware. I tried RE4 and failed miserably, couldn't even make it through the first village without losing my head quite literally. I'm waiting on SSBB since it will be epic.
Otherwise, I used to be a big PC Gamer but not so much lately. Especially Lucasarts Adventure games and Action Adventure games. I've played through Half-Life 2...but I cheated the whole way through. I suck at shooters, seriously. I like Civ games like...Civ IV oddly enough. Gimme Industrial and Financial and I'll be happy. I loves me my World Wonders. Come to think of it, God Games I like. And I've recently played through Psychonauts, that was fun. Overlord is fun to... damn, so many games...
If ya wanna get in touch with me for some reason, my email is darkfire826@lycos.com. Just put D-Toid or something like that in the email title.
...and I will always be a fan of the Super Mario Bros. movie, despite it being universally hated.
