Kritzkreig Get!

I unlocked the Kritzkrieg for the medic in TF2. There are three more achievements I'll get without having to cheat. The other ten are hard enough that I'll either need a lot of luck, or to cheat. I do want that ubersaw, so I may cheat it up.

I'm just not sure about the Kritzkrieg. Getting all crits is nice, but being invincible is so much nicer. There are too many times where I've had to take out two turrets, and there's no way that a person could survive that without being invincible. It charges faster, but that's the only other benefit. I think I'd be for it if it healed faster or something.

I'm selling my XBOX 360, since I need the moneys. I could make a brief comparison between TF2 on the computer and on the Box:

Cost: free vs. monthly fee
Updates: free vs. none at all

In other words, Live costs money, where the internet on a computer has no additional charges. Winner, Internet.

An Open Letter To The Minnesota Zoo

Hey, zoo: If you're going to cancel an event, you might want to, you know, tell someone. Before they get inside the building. There are many means of telling people something in this modern age: you can use email, phone calls, etc. or you could even put up a sign outside the building. It's raining out, and you think it's cool to let people walk all the way in before letting them know that they came in for no reason.

Not very cool, Minnesota Zoo.

Indiana Jones and the Intolerable Nonsense

I saw the latest Indy movie. Some of the stuff in there was just too absurd even for a cliffhanger in the Indiana Jones genre. If you've seen it, then all you have to hear is "monkeys" to know what I'm talking about.

I am completely willing to accept the supernatural stuff: the other movies had the Ark of the Covenant, the Holy Grail, etc. Some of the stuff that was supposed to be mundane was just too insane.
