Mmm, crumpets…
(also, note to self: tea shop sim would make a really awesome, female-oriented restaurant-city clone. XP )

Stacking, An Adventure Game Of Class Struggle,... →
This game looks So Awesome! And it’s Tim Schafer! Doing a (pure) adventure game! I couldn’t really ever get into Psychonauts because it was an adventure-platformer (and I am bad at platformers)… but Tim Schafer will always have my undying love and gratitude for Grim Fandango, which is still the story standard I hold all games to.
GAWD I NEED A PLAYSTATION 3!! ;___;

Sing-off S02 Finale
I think I deserve some brownie points for having my two favorite groups be the top two and knowing that Talk of the Town would place last in the America voting. >_>
Musical “politics” aside… what a great season. :x

Sing-off S0204
Halfway through the ep, after On the Rocks was eliminated…
I just wanted to state how impressed I was by the Backbeats recent performances, in the last episode and this one. Despite how much I wanted to hate them, they really rocked it and pushed my opinion 180 degrees around.
I’m also equally disappointed by the recent performances of Street Corner and Committed… their solid...

How One Developer Cheated His Way To The Perfect... →
Awesome. ::lol::
Jenova Chen is the designer of genre-bending, artfully crafted games Cloud, FlOw and Flower. He’s the co-founder of ThatGameCompany and the recipient of a master’s degree from the University of Southern California’s Interactive Media Division. He’s also a cheater.
At least when it comes to Capcom’s iTune Farmville knock-off game Smurfs’...
So Tron 1 was way more entertaining than it has any right to be, when you watch it in a room full of nerds. Glad we did it that way. XP
Here’s hoping the second film is at least as entertaining aesthetically.
Home!
Back home for the holidays and, for the foreseeable future, for good!
… Of course, my neck and back are sore after sleeping because the mattress is totally different from what I’m used to… again… arrggh. ;_;

Sing-Off S0202
… I can’t believe Whiffenpoofs got sent home before Backbeats. :( Argh.
Other than that… Street Corner and Committed are still my favorites. <3 But I really did like the Whiffenpoof’s performance tonight… whereas Backbeats just failed to impress me… again. I really don’t see what the judges see for them, I guess. >_>

Sing-Off S0201
Ranting incoming! Feel free to ignore if you didn’t watch the show, or don’t care what I have to say. :X
For what it’s worth, I started writing each reaction as the performance was happening or at the very end of it, before the judges started speaking. If I didn’t explicitly say I agree with one of them, it’s because I thought of it before they said whatever they...

Looking for the answer
Dream!
I was at some sort of small reunion… it didn’t seem any bigger than maybe ten or so people, and all of the SC were there, but only Kim featured strongly and this guy I knew from elementary school and didn’t really interact with in high school.
I don’t know what got us started, but we were trying to solve a math problem. Not a terribly difficult one… it was...

Pet Peeve #241
The one thing I really hate about the “new web” (or web 2.0 or video generation or whatever the hell term you prefer)…
The proliferation of video tutorials over text.
It’s a steadily increasing irritation… that I’ll go to a website for a service of some sort, expecting to look up something technical, and instead I encounter an abstract listing of topics and...
