Oh, god damn it, Quantic Dream. You had a really great game going, and then you have to go and screw it up right at the end. I suppose it's still better than alien Aztec robots or whatever the heck happened in Indigo Prophecy (which I never made it through due to horrible stealth sections, which Heavy Rain thankfully lacked), and you managed to ( Read more... )

So, I was sitting at my computer, minding my own business when suddenly I hear a dog yelping in pain outside my window, followed shortly afterward by what sounded like a car door slamming shut. I walk over to the window to peer out and there's an SUV stopped in the road and two huskies in the snow by the side. I can't be 100% sure, but I think ( Read more... )

From the most recent post at the Mother 3 fan translation site... "The patch will be out at the end of this week."

This may be a very busy time of the year for game releases, but it looks like I'm going to have to reorganize my schedule to get in some time on Mother 3. I've been waiting on this game for years.

Yep, today's my birthday. Really, not anything to get too excited over... It's been a while since I've even done anything to celebrate, and even longer since I've had an actual party of some sort ( Read more... )

Guess which one is on my mind, given the time of year? It's a rather nasty shock to go from expecting a refund, albeit probably a small one (like last year), to suddenly owing the IRS hundreds of dollars ( Read more... )

So, I've finally gotten around to getting a new car. My 98 Dodge Neon was having increasingly frequent (fairly expensive) problems, and was now getting to a point where it was going to need to have brake work done. I've been meaning to upgrade for a while, but moving kind of put that on hold for a bit ( Read more... )

So, either my car has turned into a horror movie monster, where all evidence vanishes by the light of day, leading no one to believe the protagonist until the body count starts heaping up, or I'm going insane. I'm willing to entertain either possibility at the moment ( Read more... )

Well, things have somewhat stabilized. I'm all moved in to the new apartment, including cleaning up the old place. (Not that there was much of that to do, with the renovations the owners are taking the opportunity to do.) Still got to turn in my key, but that's a minor irritant, at worst ( Read more... )

No internet yet. Leeching off an unsecured wireless connection ( Read more... )

Well, I've got everything just about ready. Aside from my desk (which still has my computer stuff on it) everything is ready for the movers to pick it up in the morning. That's only furniture, but all my other stuff is either boxed up or at least out of the way, so that I'll be able to bring stuff on over once the heavy lifting part of the move is ( Read more... )
