Well, guess what. I changed blogs. -Again.- You'd think I'd have learned my lesson by now. Just use the frickin' LJ. Everyone else does. Maybe then someone will actually read what you post. But noooo, I have to use some fancy-pants dynamic langauge (I've used a PHP site, a Ruby on Rails site, and more...), but I'm back to this.

Actually, LJ has ( Read more... )

Wow, whaddya know, I'm still here. Obviously LJ isn't receiving much attention from me these days... but...

At any rate, since someone linked to me (I won't say who or point fingers, but I will post links to them ;p), I felt a little obligated to post something ( Read more... )

Based upon around a week of use, Brain Age has successfully made my brain 30 years or so younger. Wow. Good thing I bought that. The basis of my judgment? The game itself of course. What's that you say? That's not a good way to judge the value of the game? You're right. But it's really fun, so even if it's lying to me and my brain isn't any " ( Read more... )

Presentations in my journalism class started today... at first I was sort of worried about how well my presentation would go over, as I hadn't put all that much though into presenting it. I figured I'd write the paper and then somehow things would magically fall into place for the rest...

Well, I don't need to worry. Everything is exceedingly ( Read more... )

Next week, Brain Training for the DS comes out. Not only do I really, really want this game (it looks awesome), but I really want to see how it fares in the US. Not only is Brain Training (which has a hideously long name in Japanese) is one of the games that gave the DS it's incredible popularity in Japan, it's one of the first games that's really ( Read more... )

Huzzah, my research paper is done! Well, pretty much done. I still need to proofread it and perhaps tweak a few things, but it's effectively complete. 25 pages of content, 3 pages of references. Not too shabby considering I haven't written anything large in in about two years. :P

The short version:
In-game advertising is acceptable, and sometimes ( Read more... )

Role-playing is one of those activities that is generally looked down upon. Okay, it's generally really looked down upon. Just try going up to someone in a classy nightclub and talking about how awesome barbarians are with the extended rage feats or how you rolled up one hell of a bitchin' glitter boy in Rifts one time ( Read more... )

At some time yesterday, for some random reason, the VP of Sony Europe apparently let slip that the PS3 will cost between 499 and 599 euros, or roughly between $600 and $700 dollars. (Read all about it!) Well, I can't say that's well beyond speculation I've heard, but still... DAMN. That's a lot of goddamn money. Will I still buy one? Oh hell yeah. ( Read more... )

Oblivion and Final Fantasy XII were in a pretty harsh struggle for the conquest of my free time, but I think it's safe to declare FF the winner now. Oblivion's sandbox setup has proven, yet again, that open-ended games lead to a lack of things to do rather than an abundance of them. I have a million uninteresting quests to follow, a billion ( Read more... )

First, read this. Ya done? Okay. Now, I can't say I'm surprised by the results (I think most of you reading this are fully aware of how non-religious I am), but I am incredibly amused by the research process here. Dividing people up into:

• People who are being prayed for and know it
• People who are being prayed for and don't know it
• People who aren't ( Read more... )
