Spore and DRM: Making a Statement Through Piracy.
I had a long conversation with calorath the other day about Spore, and EA's inclusion of a particularly draconian and hideous DRM scheme, SecuROM. In short, like Mass Effect before it, a part of Spore's DRM scheme is that the game requires activation with EA - after 3 installations and activations, the game is deactivated until you call EA and request an ( Read more... ) -
What were they THINKING?!
So I popped onto Last.fm today, and...
WHAT THE FUCK?
Why does Last.fm suddenly look like this Facebook garbage? What the fuck is this? I'm pissed more than I should be, but the site was pretty cleanly designed, not to mention it had an alternate "black" color theme that I used ( Read more... ) -
Feng Shui and its effects.

I want to hear back from them. I was told I'd hear back "end of the week, early next week," and that was on last Thursday. I'm sending an email tomorrow afternoon if a phone call doesn't wake me up ( Read more... ) -
For my bro
Awhile back stsmurf requested a workout playlist, derived from the currently-in-progress "Ultimate Driving Playlist". After talking him into getting into something, I plucked some songs out, the kind that at least get ME pumped up and motivated ( Read more... ) -
Smexy
Poor Rythai. My most beloved character and nothing to become of her. After my Alliance guild downed Al'ar, I went and checked Wowhead for drops and saw these beautiful fist weapons. Offhand's not real good for a Shaman, but fuck, I'd want both for pure looks. So sexy ( Read more... ) -
Another model!
I'm a noob, but I'm still proud of this. It's more stylized than I expected, more playful, but that's okay, I gleaned a lot of insight from doing it. Most of all that I actually like architectural modeling - at least this taste. Cleek to enlarge.
