Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Dec 04, 2006 7:11pm PSTIf you're planning on downloading anything I'd do it tonight because I imagine most gaming download sites are going to be pretty darn clogged up with the WoW patch hitting tomorrow. Fair warning! Now then...
- Being a cannibal used to be hot - BitTorrent has raised $20million in cash - Nerd sails - Moon base is hotLastly, my only complaint ever about YouTube has been the video resolution kinda sucking. Looks like some folks are on that.

I came home today to this:

A heavey fucking box. $13 in shipping. Ignoring immediately why the elephant is mooing, I went straight ot opening it. In doing so I notice that when I move the box, it sounds like an hourglass with shifting sand. I took a pair of scissors to the seemingly delicately placed ducttape and went right at opening it. Lifting the lid, I notice...

The thing is filled to the motherfucking top with shit. I went through it item by item. I won't bore you by listing off "MS Intellimouse 4.1 drivers" and "MSI Heatsink" so I'll deliver pictures, and let you see for yourself. But first, this item gave me a se7en-ish moment when I saw it in the box

to find out that it was, instead of a severed foot, this:

Most curiously, there were 3 items of note. First, the sound came from loose popcorn seeds, small bead balls or something, and my 3rd item of note. Two, an awesome fucking beer bottle:

I also picked up God of War. I have found out if you just push the button hard and fast enough then you can kill anything. I have become a button masher. With this game, also unimpressed.
Please shack, help me find a game that I will love.

I mean since playing it games like GRAW and Halo feel really.. flat? I don't know if that's the right word, but it has taken things up a very substantial notch.
What if HL:Episode 2 has the same problem? I'm scared.

I got a call last week to say a delivery was attempted but they couldn't find the address (wtf - finding places is what addresses are for, right?). They said they'd deliver again last thursday, but nothing has shown up. I thought I'd try and track it down today but the sorting office said they had nothing held, and they don't phone people if they can't deliver :/
If by any chance the guy who got me sees this - did you use a special mail carrier? Maybe you could check from your end if theres a tracking service or something.

Because Yahoo's new TV listings page has become asstacular and unusable, I've been searching around for alternatives. I finally found one that is the ultimate in tv listing uberness:
http://meevee.com/
Personalized guide, AJAX in all the right places, snappy page loads, RSS feed, email updates (optional), favorites, it really has it all. Hell, even a blog/MySpace widget to show people what you're watching.
So now I'm thankful Yahoo botched their service up, or I wouldn't have found this site.

And then there's the PC games. =/ I stare at my game rack sometimes, looking between the ones I haven't finished, and it sounds cool to try to play through one, but then I spy something like Ninja Gaiden (which I've beat 3 times) or Windwaker or God of War and I end up popping those in. =(

I just finished the book today. Very good, but it felt somewhat short to me. Finally nice to get some solid progression with the Forerunner's plans. I had always strongly suspected that Col. Ackerson had started his own ripoff version of the Spartans. Its obvious he made a pretty big mistake not giving them MJOLNR armor. That gimped them enormously.
I really dig Eric Nuyland's work on the Halo books.

What is the utility of gems like adventurine, rubies, emeralds, etc? They can sell for a ton of money, and it looks like they're used in some recipies if you have the craft wonderous item feat, but other than that, I dont know of their usefulness.
Are they only useful in "craft armor/weapon/trap/alchemy" route, or do they have other utility as well?

I Tivo'd it and it ended up cutting off before the ending, the last bit I saw was Peter's vision, then Nathan woke him up from it and Peter was starting to tell Nathan that the explosion was going to be his (Peter's) fault, then it cut out - what did I miss after this?
