Random web surfing of the day:

Every Week On Entourage- Amusingly enough, that's actually quite accurate. And the Turtle and Drama impersonations are pretty spot on.

Top 10 Sexiest Animated Women- Foxxy Love as #1?! Really? And I always thought Aeon Flux looked funny. And I never saw what was so great about Jessica Rabbit. But no Erin Esurance?! She's hott! But who makes these lists anyways, there are way hotter looking animated chyx (yes, I realize how pathetic that sounds) than the chyx they picked. Like they didn't cover any Anime, and even if you didn't count that, there are hundreds of other animated series and movies drawn better (and more recent!) than their choices.

But speaking of not-real hot chyx, apparently there's a Nude mod for Zoey in Left 4 Dead. But between this, the nekkid Mona Sax code in Max Payne 2, and the ancient Nude Raider mod, are gamers really desperate to play nekkid chyx killing a bunch of stuff?

The 10 best recut movie trailers- Didn't someone do one of these already?

More Exalted talk: (I know, aren't you sick of it?) Finally finished up reading up on all the Infernal charms with the Ebon Dragon's charm trees. The Ebon Dragon, as a Yozi, is pretty cool, but his charms aren't as cool as I though they'd be. I mean, he does have some sneak attack type charms, some jinxing and cheating charms, but nothing that really stands out. His real forte is disguise though. His disguise charms are difficult for even a high level exalt to penetrate (heck, even the Loom of Fate is fooled!) But that's appropo, as he's all about deceit and corruption, and it behooves his chosen to be able to penetrate all sorts of organizations with very little chance of discovery. I guess his "super charm" is Black Mirror Shintai, which allows the infernal to become a perfect copy of someone else, down to the stats, abilities, and charms.

Anyways, on to the Infernal Signature Characters. They're all pretty interesting. The Slayer iconic (the chosen of Malfeas) is a big barbarian guy named Cearr. The Malefactor iconic (the chosen of Cecelyne) is Sulumor, the Wan Stratophere, basically an evil slutty nun. The iconic Defiler (the chosen of She Who Lives in Her Name) is Bitter Copal, a mummy looking dude with a giant crab claw in place of his right hand. He's a little silly looking, if you ask me. The Scoruge iconic (Adorjan's chosen) is Captain Gyrfalcon, a sky-pirate looking guy. He's prolly my favorite of the GSPs, though its prolly because he's a Scourge (Much like I think the Disciple of Seven Forbidden Wisdoms is cool, and he's a Day caste. I guess I just prefer the Nights/Days/Scourges). Finally, the iconic Fiend, (The Ebon Dragon's chosen) is Manosque Cyan. She's pretty cool- evil ninja girl disguised as an innocent looking young Deliberator in the Lesser Chamber of the Realm's Deliberative.

Speaking of signature characters, doing some exalted character googling, stumbled onto this post in the forums posting chibi versions of the various signature characters. Jeez, I didn't know there were so many named characters. Like I was wondering, who were all these Solars, but I totally forgot that the first edition Caste books listed a bunch of characters. Even though they're chibi versions of the characters, there are some cool designs there.

Erin Esurance is awesome!

[sstrickl.livejournal.com]

I have to agree here. Her lack on such a list obviously makes the list useless.

Also, they showed, imo, the wrong April. The real one is better:

Ah know, raht? When she showed up on the list, I was all, "That's not the real April O'Neil!" But I guess a whole generation experienced a different TMNT. I guess Transformers is like that as well.

I am not sick of the Exalted talk; it's one of my favorite settings, if one of the arguably worst mechanics systems. It's a bummer. But the setting is interesting.

[geebs.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think the setting is awesome, but the mechanics do get kinda confusing. Particularly the social stuff. At least combat, I think some of the problem is that there's so much to factor in and account for. But the social charms, its like you read them and its sounds pretty powerful, and then you get to the last sentence and its like, "they can avoid the effect by spending 1 willpower." WTF?!!

But yeah, I like the way the world is set up, and the little comics they have in the various books hint at interesting storylines. Its too bad they don't actually do anything with them.

it's not a list of the hottest looking ones though... it's a list of the sexiest ones a.k.a. ones they would most like to nail. that's a subtle and important distinction. and clearly they don't count anime because they're not weeaboofags. (and also because that is an enormous volume of more shit to deal with. and then do you also include hentai? etc.)

still, erin esurance should be on there. i was impressed that they included the chick from heavy metal but that was probably inspired by south park.
