If you’re visiting this part of Simens Asylum, you’ll find our old blog that contains a lot of our random rants, creative art and other crap. There are also some personal stories, blog posts and ravings about issues we care about.
However, the blog itself is shut down and we’re not using the index forum for everything else. Just go to http://www.simensasylum.com or press back if that’s where you came from. Enjoy the blog.
Simen
Simen is old. Long live Simen!
I have been watching some trailers for games I know I’ll play (maybe even buy) in the near future. And the features that the developers seem to focus the most on is the following:
RedAlert2: Video cut-scenes featuring women resembling pornstars in army uniforms…
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41813.html
Fable2: Ingame orgies and farting.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41783.html
The modern day video game industry might not have got any better on storytelling and such. But they sure have made staggering advances in the patchwork that’s supposed to cover that up!

Oh, and I’m writing this here, ‘cus I thing the main site could use an update once in a while… and in that spirit!
WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR HALLOWEEN? DO TELL, DO TELL!
Will probably make a new post on the big day itself, between scaring the crap out of toddlers and watching The Nightmare Before Christmas for the gods-knows-how-manyeth time.
Stay alive people : )
The place I work at now is an old hospital with roots back to late 1800s, with the building that it is in now built in 1925. In 1990 it was taken over by LHL, and rebuilt for their use. What I was doing on wednesday, was clean up some mess from something on an attic stored away around that time… It was huge, dusty and incredibly creepy. More after the jump, I wrote this on LiveJournal, so it was very easy to just copy and paste into here, which I will (instead of using the forums). I’m just that lazy.
For all of you “The End is Nigh!” and “Science will destroy everything!” people…
They’re about to fire up the LHC
Yeah…
(If you know, and don’t care, skip next section)
———————————————-
For those of you who aren’t nerdy enough to know what the hell the LHC is I’ll give an quick, mostly non-scientific explenation:
The LHC, Large Hadron Collider, is in fact an Hadron collider, that is very large. It’s a ring that covers many miles, like a really long tube. It forces tiny objects (particals, atoms, electrons) to collide.
They might use it as kinda like an fusion-reactor beta test. Fusion is how the sun makes energy. The sun is far away, the Swiss mountians of Doom are not.
So aside from exploding the planet with WAY more energy than we can possebly control, it should be able to do 2 other things.
1: Make Black Holes. I have no idea how this works, but my guess is that if that happens, we’re screwed.
2: Make anti-matter (dark matter, black materia… dunno). A really smart scientist guy has stated that LOOKING at this stuff might make reality implode. It sounds stupid, but the guy is supposedly very intelligent andhave written sever books on the subject…
————————–
Yeah, I think they were planning to start up the LHC the 10th or something… thats tomorrow…
So just in case we’re f5skd, bye bye people, nice knowing you.
Simen edit:
While some believe it’s the end of the world, others are sure we’ll find something new and exciting. I’m among those who think that a wednesday is a bad day for world destruction, very… anticlimatic.
But no worries, I was linked this picture from someone who seem to know more about what is going on there, and as long as they have something like this, why worry?
Also, check out this awesome video about the HLC…
Btw… the firct collission won’t happen until after a month…
Happy birthday to Lieungh too! She’s not as old as we are but close, so party on Princess.
It’s a Ithos’ birthday today, and for this we celebrate! Quietly, with coke and whatever we want but we celebrate anyway. Also, to top it off, here’s an old picture of Ithos some years ago when he wasn’t so… Impatient.
THIS CONCERNS YOU!…. maybe…
ohkey, now most of the people who read stuff here on SA, aren’t directly affected by this. Still, I believe that most of you realize how compleatly retarded this is.
I speak of the Orphan Bill….
I COMMAND YOU TO READ! (or at least scroll through the major points, like me…)

Oh yeah, and as you can see, there are people working on this in Europe also….
I honestly feel like crying, ‘cus this shit is actually sad! And so retarded that its funny! I’m going to laugh and cry!
I hate to bump Simens post, it’s under this one now. Go check it out!
Also, I made this right after the last one, before I heard Jans (”rabbit”s) request for a recap-comic… appearently, my extremly short and puddle-deep comic is long and complex. So I’ll make somewhat of a sumup of the story thus far and possebly ridicule Jan…
Anyways, here’s even more horrible, horrible comicart… oh, artistic sense why has thou forsaken me?

Promise, the next few will be better, even if I have to make my hand bleed…
First post of 2008 this is. Simen should be marching through the mud right now or getting his arse tattood with a hot poke, wouldn’t want to be him in that scenario! So now it’s pretty much up to the rest of the crew - eyebrow raised - to keep this going. Well I want to wish Simen good luck in his army adventure and hope he finds there what he is looking for. Keep us updated, though I’m pretty sure you will!
Have a healthy and fortunate 2008
