I have uploaded a full playthrough of the Classic Doom for Doom 3 mod to youtube. I was on the team as the cinematic designer. I also balanced out the weapons for the final version. For this playthrough, I modded in the shotgun from version 1.1 because I feel that it has some character to it. I also added a few graphical enhancements.
I have uploaded a playlist here:

Let's do this. Thanks to devnullgt for hosting, anthonybean for poking everyone to do shit, and zerosignal for the domain. Signup and wreak havoc. If anyone has suggestions for running a public wiki, rosewood, I would welcome them. I will probably select a few wise people(my friends ololol) to be admins and be dicks to everyone over there like the mods do here.
What content should be on this wiki? I'm going to try and see what I can automate; post the top lols/infs there daily, keep a record of funny posts for each Chatty?

Streaming last.fm is kinda cool, but reading twitter and updating facebook is pretty pointless. The zune marketplace could be cool, but I have a feeling that MS will be overcharging for everything on it like they currently do on the xbox video marketplace. :(

"... we are in the process of converting Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee and Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath to the PC, so that all four of the major Oddworld games will be re-releasing this winter in a package called "The Oddbox." This will be the Abe games, Munch, and Stranger as one package for Steam's digital distribution network, as well as a few other digital distribution outlets."

Just listened to Idlethumbs and one of them has it for review. Says he was 5 hours into it. Said he didn't want to talk about it to next week. His tone while saying he didn't want to talk about it was morbid. Just sounded quiet depressed and sighed a lot. Hmmmm...

Have you seen your incidence of white pages, error messages, extremely slow loading, and general wonkiness spike over the last month or so? The site is barely usable now except through my phone. If I try to make a comment, I get error messages for the first five or six times...and then all of the messages show up. Just curious if anyone else is in the same boat or if it might be something local to my ISP. Tried IE, Firefox, and Chrome; all exhibit some kind of weirdness, but the rest of the net is fine.

The campus radio station approached me today about starting a web-based broadcast of the reading series I set up last semester for a special section of undergraduate writers on campus. So now we're looking to expand the series to all talented undergraduate writers on campus! A pet project of mine is turning into kind of a big deal.
I do have a question though. I've been emailing the school's literary magazines and the newspapers/publications around town with the following email:
My name is Modica, and since Spring semester, I've been running a reading series for members of the Undergraduate Creative Writing Track, which we hold at Public Space One. It has been a small success, but I'm looking to expand the reading series beyond members of the Writing Track, to include all talented writers at the University of Iowa. I have been approached by KRUI to start a web-based broadcast of the reading series, which would include and necessitate a wider audience of both writers/readers and listeners.
I was curious about the possibility of getting some publicity from the readers of your publication, if that was at all possible. I can provide further details regarding the reading series and the webcast if [so and so] is interested.
Do you think that's too forward or pushy, given that I'm emailing the school paper and some of the actual publications in Iowa City?

The concept of wireless charging is awesome, but adding a case with a big bulge to my phone just for a little convenience just isn't worth it. Especially at $100 for the base and $40 per device for the shoe/adapter.
None the less, I think their commercials are pretty fucking funny:
