Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Apr 17, 2007 6:00pm PDTApparently our buddy Faylor is in the UK now for something or other. I didnt realize there were videogames outside of the US but that seems to be the case. Luckily our kids are still the most violent because of them. Oh and fat! That is videogames too.

You rarely see a ref get in any kind of trouble for making bad calls. It's always a little obvious that some refs have it out for particular players or teams.

1) NBC pulled the SNL skit "dear sister" from youtube.
2) Further parodies have been constructed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPVakQ67DQ0
#2 could do with using the musical segment for longer, possibly be slow-moing the footage right down.

I don't know if it's because I grew up during the advent of gaming (consoles & the like) and had to deal with it the hard way but the latest gaming generation of people really irks me.
Back in the day, I remember grueling through countless hours trying to figure out how to get around a puzzle/obstacle/etc in a video game. Actually figuring that shit out on your own was one of the most gratifying feelings ever.
However, it seems these days, if people get stumped in a game, they immediately jump on Gamefaqs without putting more than 5-10 minutes of their time figuring the shit out. Kids especially do this. Cheatcodes/walkthroughs are good and all, but damn... at least spend some time figuring shit out on your own.

WTF
I beat the GDI campaign last night did not use the liquid tiberium bomb and Rasczak (Michael Ironside) was still mad at me for using the liquid tiberium bomb WTF 0_o?
so I say again, WTF! They hire all these actors and make these very nice cutscenes and they couldn't have two different endings there! I wanted to piss off Lando - but instead I pissed off Granger

Eric Bana (Hulk, Troy) is set to play Henry in the film adaptation of Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife. This is one of the best books of recent years I've read - very funny and charming in places, poignant and tragic in others, with a slight sci-fi twist to boot. It's basically about a guy with a genetic condition, which causes him to time travel when stressed. The book follows how he meets his wife-to-be on one of his time travels, and how their relationship develops.

On a lighter note - has anyone actually felt energized and uppity after a night of hardly any sleep? It's like I'm high or something. I should be tired out of my mind and yet I feel I could run a marathon.

Does anyone know proper Tetris logic?
I downloaded a freeware version of Tetris called Kevtris, and something doesn't seem right about the pieces I get. I get a lot of repeating blocks. For example I might get 4 straight lines from time to time. I don't remember that ever happening on other tetris games I've played.
Are the pieces you get random? Or should you have a decreased chance of repeating blocks?

I tried them out, and they sure are nice. I can put them on, have the ipod on 50% volume and not hear someone talking to me. Their lips just move. I could find many uses for these.

I stayed around for a while to see if the first guy who got to her needed any help, but it all seemed to be handled.
What bugged me was all the blokes who were just standing around doing nothing, and like...joking as if nothing happened.
Anyhow - after it was evident that security + the guy there was gone (and I had missed my bus, I went away).
Then I saw her waiting with a security guard for a ride, or something.
Hope she's okay!
