October 1 is a date that's been on my mind a lot lately. It is the day by which Knights of the Old Republic 2 has to be completely done. Which puts us at a little less than three months of time left to do it. There are rather stiff penalties in our contract if we miss that deadline by even one day, so under no circumstances will we NOT be ( Read more... )

I saw Spiderman 2 this morning. I think it's a really good movie. I'd say at least twice as enjoyable as the first one, and I found the first one to be pretty entertaining. I never read the comics nor watched the cartoons. I'm honestly not a super-hero following miko. Never cared for the stuff. I couldn't tell you if what I saw was an honest ( Read more... )

Now that we knew the scope of our opposition, we changed tactics. It was time to pull out the big guns. I sent my roommate to secure two large rat traps from the hardware store that would be more appropriate for handling a monster of these proportions. We did suffer minor friendly fire damage as my roommate kept snapping the traps on his thumb ( Read more... )

What it boils down to is the idea that any game that uses any series, characters, etc., of Warner Brothers' must meet a certain percentage of approval by game reviewers, or else Warner Brothers ( Read more... )

Planetside continues to be a unique experience out of all the games available out there. Even a full year after its release, there's nothing else like it. It delivers the closest thing I've played to being in the middle of an absolutely massive war. The Battlefield series is its closest contender to the best of my knowledge, and even a fully ( Read more... )

A few months back one of those 'popular links of the day' got around that captured my attention. It came up first at work, an email going around on the generic #spam list where employees toss random notes of interest. I later saw it slashdotted, and then had it pointed out to me by two or three other friends throughout the day. It came up in ( Read more... )

The subjects I post about are always something that is of interest or importance to me, but I also try to write and present them in a way that makes them worth reading by others as well ( Read more... )

Well, Jipang is finally Open for RP again after what I think came down to about a 4 week downtime. I didn't get as much done during the downtime as I had hoped to, but I did get to do a lot of cleanup work in terms of idle players, stray Stuff, etc ( Read more... )
