Evening Reading: Weekend Confirmed
When I saw that story on Rage with Carmack where he says that he doesn't think they'll have dedicated servers I did a double take. Why on earth would you jump right into that hornet's nest? And then he says, "We'll see how it works out for everyone else." Great plan there, except wait, you just didn't wait. And then he goes on and speculates that whether they support mods may be up for discussion too? What on earth is going on? It's like last night while hanging out after dinner the lack of dedicated server support in MW2 came up (again). We were outright laughing about how you even come to the conclusion to make 9 vs. 9 the max team size.
But that couldn't put a damper on what's been a great week that's lined up plenty of fun for the weekend. Left 4 Dead 2 demo, Dragon Age, Torchlight...you know what that sounds like?
Weekend Confirmed!
- Dragon Age Patch Makes Easy Easier
- New Trailer for Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks
- Torchlight Patch Out and Up on Steam
- Win a Heroes of Newerth Beta Key
- Carmack Says Rage Unlikely to Have Dedicated Servers
And if you're still up for more Square put an anagram puzzle up on the Final Fantasy XIII site. "Solve this anagram to find out what lies ahead: A Henchmen Inventor Tent Unto."

Because perhaps it suits the game design experience they want to deliver? Did you outright laugh at Gears 1 for being 4x4 or did you perhaps recognize that it was a godo number for that gameplay style?
I dunno...seems like the Shack just turned into Evil Avatar. This new Shack will be interesting.

So Flash Forward is good but it's really starting to wear on me how ignorant some of these people act. It's like the show is purposely ignoring points that are perfectly obvious to most of us.
The most pressing one is this: The simple act of having seen your "future" would absolutely and inevitably change that future. The knowledge would change things. Yet I haven't heard that point even so much as be addressed in all the theory and talk on the show.
It's like the entire world just takes for granted that the future they saw is real. Then they spend all this time trying to convince themselves and others that they can change this future when they should all be confident that changing things is as simple as wanting to.

I told you all that I wouldn't make anymore daily updates but I hit a pretty big milestone tonight in my NaNoWriMo.
I have written more than 10,000 words!
Google docs tells me my story, I mean my NOVEL, is about 20 pages.
I am currently at 10476/10002 for a surplus of +474 words.
Ok, I guess I'll see you guys in another 6 days or so.

I do wish the keyboard was bigger, does anyone even use the d pad?
Also the flash on the camera is a bit odd for taking pic in total dark.
What does everyone else think?

Either way Dragon Age is great. Loving it so far on the PC, I saw the PS3 version and it looked (visually) terrible. Hopefully it plays alright on console, I want them to sell a lot of copies.

So, I've got some questions for you hard game club exclusive members who have plowed through all the levels. I'll spoiler tag the whole thing but it's not really that spolier-ish.
What are Soul Remains primarily used for? I've never used them at all, ever. Am I doing it wrong?
Any tips/advice on 3-2 or 5-2? I've got Adjudicators shield/regen ring to help negate any poison damage on 5-2 while walking around, but actually walking through that muck is a gigantic hassle. On a related note of waking around in the dark in a bunch of crap, on 3-2 I cannot get past those scorpion things without getting all my armor/weapon completely broken by their acid spit. I try to avoid it, but they always wind up hitting me once and that causes my durability to go down to zero.
I figure I'll work on those next since I don't have many other levels beat. On each world, I only have the -1's beat besides 4-1 which I cannot pass. I don't really know where else to go. In 4-1 the boss is wayyyyy to fucking hard for me to beat so I'm avoiding it for now. Everywhere I stand in the room, he manages to hit me with his gigantic red tentacle of death.

it's hard to believe this is 3G; it's a bit slower than my cable modem, but not by much. latency is even fairly reasonable.

I don't dare go on a downloading spree on a device I don't get to keep, though. :(
