I'm totally going to keep putting polls up until my paid account runs out. It's two seconds out of your day, right?

Nintendo's new Revolution controller has just been unveiled, and though my first thought was "...WTF?" the video sold me on its potential. Nintendo doesn't just use the word "innovation" as a buzzword like the other gaming companies (Xbox360 and PS3 aren't innovative... They're just the PC equivalent to buying a new CPU and graphics card). If you ( Read more... )

Updated my entire Linux system for the first time. Everything went without a major hitch... There was a moment of horror when I realized I'd auto-merged all the config files when I shouldn't have, but there was only one change I needed to make for everything to work again ( Read more... )

The story is excellent though (an excellent JLA story, that is) and Morrison proves ( Read more... )

I've been sick recently, so I'm re-watching all my animated Batman (ahh, nostalgia). Some great episodes and great lines, too. Seeing a Batman that smiles occaisionally and sometimes makes a joke (gasp) is a nice breath of fresh air compared to the current comics angst/broodfest.

Had a dream last night where Karen and I went to some anime/comic/gaming con that was at this Opera-house type building. It was on an island just big enough for the building with beach on all sides, and the picturesque light blue water you always see in postcards. Don't remember much except accidentally almost stealing some Warhammer figures and ( Read more... )
