Hey, it’s me, dream anon. So “Jerry” was a 30-something white dude with light brown hair, about 5’9, and a bit on the chunky side. If that’s not what you look like then it was def an imposter hahah

JERRY, THAT IMPOSTOR! Always making trouble for me!

Not that I'm anyone, but I think you're really terrific, too.

Aw, thank you! I mean, I usually have pretty good self esteem, relatively speaking, but it’s just nice to have outside confirmation once in a while!

Yay Sam! This reminds me of something I try to remember to do with coworkers who really stand out.... email them kudos and CC their boss. That way they get the direct compliment, the boss gets a heads up their employee is awesome, and they know their boss just heard that. Everybody wins!

Yes! I’m actually in a position now where I can praise people I’m working with to their bosses and it has meaning, so I’ve been passing along praise where I can. It’s nice to be able to say to someone that I appreciate their work and have it get up the chain to their manager.

Sam, we been knew,as the kids say.

Aw, thank you. It wasn’t like I didn’t think very highly of myself (LOL) but it’s just nice to know that it’s real and visible to others.

Might I recommend the electric mattress cover? It reheats the ENTIRE bed and then you shut it off when you get into bed. Especially wonderful for sure backs

Oh yes! That’s what I have. They are THE BEST.

How do they handle your absence for work? Or is it just you dared to deviate from the routine?

Well, they tend to know when I’m going to work versus when I CLEARLY SHOULD be home but AM NOT -- if I leave at odd times or leave when their collar is off, etc. In this case, I said goodbye to them at a weird time, came back for like 5 minutes (I forgot something), left again, and then didn’t return until late evening. I think honestly they get mad mostly at the disruption to routine; it’s okay if I leave when I’m SUPPOSED to leave, but not at any other time.

did they make pasta differently back then because I’ve seen do many recipes like that and wonder- how is there anything left besides slop?!

I imagine they made stoves differently back then :D My assumption was, though this could be wrong, that the longer heating time was because you couldn’t get the water up to temperature as fast or hold it at as high a temperature.

eandh99 reblogged your post How do I know that Lego Avengers is a ... and added:

do you have to actually. you know, PLAY this game or can you just drive around?

Well, to unlock Manhattan as a playable space, we had to get through a few of the early levels.  Basically, the game is a rather jumbled recap of the Avengers movies. 

-Starts with the opening sequence of Age of Ultron, using movie audio

-Backtracks to the Avengers opening (evacuation of the SHIELD base), and from there, heads into Avengers. One interesting piece is that during Steve’s “rip a punching bag off the ceiling” sequence, the game actually flashes back to a mission with Bucky, a mini memory inserted into the Avengers. 

So, you’ve got to play the actual storyline for a little bit to get New York unlocked. And then, boom, sandbox mode.

In New York, there are:

-Races that can be done in vehicles, by flying, or on foot -Mini games (jump from the back of one turtle to the next in the pond at Central Park in a certain amount of time, find and smash all these particular mcguffins, blow up statues of Loki, etc.) -People to help (Fin Fang Foom needs ingredients for his Frogurt stand, Kamala’s being attacked by laser crocodiles, Phil needs someone to drive Lola across town, Old!Peggy wants to talk) -Characters to unlock (Defeat bad guys and help good guys and get the ability to run around as them) -Ongoing crimes (Coulson will notify you if something’s happening in the area, you can defeat a purse snatcher or stop a bank robber from fleeing the scene, but there’s no penalty for ignoring it) -A civilian population with stuff to say and cars to steal.  You can run them over and they pop right back up in your wake, yelling after your in typical New York fashion.

You can take any vehicle you can catch.  Bus?  Go for it.  Semi? Slow as dirt, you’ll regret it.  Police car? Sure.  Street sweeper? It’s ADORABLE!  There are no consequences for this.  You can steal a taxi and drive it into the river to watch it explode.  It’s fun!  You can unlock and ‘summon’ better vehicles (motorcycles, sports cars, golf carts) at various SHIELD points around the city.

Characters have different abilities.  Nat can turn invisible.  Tony and Thor can fly.  Clint has explosive arrows.  Thor can bring the lighting.  Hulk can rip up pieces of the pavement and fling them at things.  The costumes change for the films, so if you’re wearing Nat’s AoU outfit, her attacks are accompanied by her glowing batons, and let me tell you, is THAT satisfying.

Characters also have the ability to work together during fight sequences.  An arrow connects them when they’re close together and can use one another.  If I trigger it with Steve and Tony, Tony swings around and fires his repulsors at Steve’s shield, and Steve mows down everything in the area. Even with the computer controlling the other character, it feels like someone’s watching your back.

I’ve spent far too long just flying in circles around the city.  For the first time in a lego game, the flying is intuitive and easy to control.  Hold down a button and Tony revs his repulsors, and when you release it, he rockets across the skyline.  

Tony has various armors.  Wearing the wrong one?  Hit a button and you go into the HUD display, and you can cycle through the armor he’s unlocked.  Choose a different one than you’re wearing and he has his own little magical girl transformation sequence, complete with spinning wheels of gold and poses.

It’s pretty much joy in a PS3 disc, at least for me.  Your milage, as always may vary, but there have been significant improvements made since the last game, and you can run a bus through the center of Central park and crash it into the pond.  Then, when it gets stuck, you can punch it until it blows up.  For extra fun points, do it as someone without powers.  “Clint punches a bus, it explodes” is like a fanfic, but with less work. 8)

Dare you to try! There are a couple of good ones on AO3 - worst you could do is add to the list.

You guys do know I'm incapable of sex scenes and not so sharp at romance, right? It'd be one big wallow of corpsey goodness with shippy undertones. I'm probably going to at least fiddle around with this, though.

what an enormous distance to cover in just 5years

Amen to that. And you never see him in the tabloids. He's just a lovely, family orientated guy who's coming into success. I'm a huge fan and I'm just so glad that he's with a lovely woman who makes him super happy and who he makes super happy and they have a beautiful growing family and...AH. When I found out he was in the top five I was cheering because people often comment that he's not a successful actor. I gotta wonder what that's based on...

I LOVE that Lear, and yes, that's on the list of Shakespeare to force on my family at Thanksgiving :)
