I'm off to Washington in about 6ish hours, to participate in the CCDC (Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition) over the weekend. Should be a lot of fun, though it's a.)only the regionals and b.)doesn't count because the actual CCDC is already over. Which means less pressure at least ( Read more... )

I've actually heard that Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is actually... good. Like the plot isn't bad, and takes more inspiration from Final Fantasy VII than say Advent Children or Dirge of Cerberus. I'm... conflicted. I might actually have to pick the game up eventually (no doubt it will stick around for a while at least). I hear the ending is ( Read more... )

I finally decided to use Amazon.com's music downloads, and I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed. The downloads are cheaper than the CDs, you get them at a decent speed, and best of all, they're non-DRMed. Go Amazon? I'd actually start buying eBooks too, once those get non-DRMed, and a decent eBook reader becomes affordable (ie sub $100 ( Read more... )

I should be in bed by now, but then I saw news of this.

New game in the Phoenix Wright series, where you star as Edgeworth, prosecuting cases. However, it's played from a third person perspective, rather than a first-person one, which is a bit of a disappointment, but hey, you get to be Edgeworth. W00t.

So just a very quick post, in between assignments and such: I found a pretty neat freeware game (Japanese originally). Basically it's a mech game that plays really similarly to the Gundam Vs. games (Feddie vs. Zeon, AEUG vs. Titans), except that each of the mechs (while being pretty much Gundam ripoffs) are sorta named after operating systems. It ( Read more... )

So, um, it looks like I'll be in North Carolina this summer. I was "offered a position" there, so I assume that means I got it. It'll be for three months, I don't know which three months exactly (May-June-July, or June-July-August, or something else entirely) so yeah. I'm pretty excited, actually really excited, though I know this doesn't come ( Read more... )

People point to Odin Sphere as a game that has awesome 2D graphics,. and it's graphics are great as long as you ignore the odd poses. The reason for this is because each limb of the body is its own sprite, but anyway, Odin Sphere isn't what I wanted to talk about.

This blows Odin Sphere completely out of the water in my humble opinion. It's from ( Read more... )

So, I sent off a resume for a summer internship at IBM in Raleigh, North Carolina. Before I did that, I was assured that I could take some time off to be at a certain wedding, so I won't miss that. Now I'm just waiting for the response ( Read more... )

So, there's a little more Persona 4 news, there's a twenty minute trailer out now, in Japanese, looks just as awesome as Persona 3 did.
( Just a few random thoughts: )

So, Looks like there's gonna be a Persona 4. Even better however, is that it's going to be for the PS2 which makes me happy, since I down currently own any next gen systems. NIS can suck it for releasing Disgaea 3 on the PS3 with no upgrades that warrant it.
