What you did today
Capital, dear sir!(lol pun) You should've seen the ruckus and hullabaloo at the Tampere centre. People were running naked into the fountain and continued partying till the morning hours. It was crazy. And so very Finnish. Fortunately I decided to skip the occasion and get some study diaries done. Summer can't come any sooner... We'd use water cannons and riot police to deal with that kind of joyful outburst

HBO's Game of Thrones
The sound effects were kind of comical, I just pictured someone making sucky sucky noises into a mic but I enjoyed the episode as a whole, nice to see a dragon skull.

What are you playing now?
Just out of interest, how is the game reacting to that? You get a blank slate from both the Legion and the NCR regardless of previous reputation, after dealing with Benny. Yeah but up until that point I'm curious how much of a response you get for being an outright butcher, I never find the time to play through RPGs as a truly evil character Gotcha, I might give it a go after I've burnt out on the game, Skyrim will be looming by then though...

Witcher 2
In one of their press conferences CD Projekt Red's PR guy showed a screenie where the game was using all 6(? don't recall how many) cores of the playing rig's processor. Not definitive, but certainly gives hope. Reassuring, thanks

Witcher 2
I've got my fingers crossed that the game at least runs ok, fifty billion graphics options doesn't mean **** if it turns out that the game only uses one cpu or gpu core, Shogun 2 burnt me recently, that game is shelved till they patch up the performance issues.

Texas moves to ban patdowns without probable cause, TSA attempts to circumvent/re-interpret constitution.

No worries about limited options there then.

Plenescape: Torment remake
Voted no to a "remake", like Kirottu I'd be interested in a sequel but really I'd be more interested in a totally new story in the Planescape setting.

I never got very far into The Witcher, one thing or another distracted me and I shelved it, if Assassins of Kings rocks my balls I'll go back and finish it.

Bin Laden is dead
Are you telling me you wouldn't love to get smacked out of your head during a terrible flu?..gimmie. Also, who doesn't have a thing for lesbians?

Emergency alerts coming to cell phones
Personal localized emergency alerts coming to smart phones Emergency alerts coming to cell phones Simultaneously functional and creepy in the 1984 style, I tend to think people are panicked enough these days and considering that governments tend to give bad information in the first few days/weeks of a disaster, who really wants this?

Videogames to be presented in Smithsonian art exhibit
Torment on a modern screen at 640x480 is nasty blurfest, at 1920x1080 however I think it's rather nice, the locations become epic, that's as far as it goes though, the character and creature designs were a bit crappy, all the pre-rendered stuff is nasty.

Sons of Obsidian Motorcycle Club
My CG 125 pulls me and my belly along at a decent pace, I could be the guy you throw to the wolves when **** kicks off

Bin Laden is dead
I notice this article is still using the staged "reaction shot" of the president and staff supposedly watching the live feed. It frustrates me how important details get lost in the movie narrative, in years to come people will remember that photo as "the moment"...tsk. *edit* added link and also noticed an update to the latest baby fondling incident. My favourite bit of insanity is, "One of the many TSA criticisms I hadn't gotten to yet is based on the report last month that one of the "behavioral indicators" TSA uses to identify "high-risk passengers" is whether a person complains about airport security procedures" Because terrorists always loudly complain to security staff before blowing up an airliner.

It's a shame Morrowind didn't make the list, that game is artful on many levels. *edit* no Torment either

If anyone doubts that hardcore pirates are mostly children and idiots you only need read Piratebay comments.

News: Japan's Earthquake
As far as I know, when the accident at Chernobyl happened most of Europe temporarily banned milk and other farm products, in fact there is still contamination to this day, why haven't Japan or the rest of Asia done something similar?

FO: NV (DLC)
Am I the only one who preferred Joshua Graham as "The Hanged Man" ? Granted it doesn't change anything about his character but I loved the idea of finding him strung up.

Thumbs up for the voice actor, the visuals look pretty good too.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced
That's the train of thought I'm following, odds are it's going to be another cut scene ending, I hope current day Bethesda are up to the task of writing it, they're actually balls deep in lore with this one.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced
I remember enjoying the ending to Oblivion, going to Gaia Alata and finding the tormented souls of Mankar Cameron's followers, I liked that it was all a con, the ****ty part for me was the final battle with Dagon basically being a cut scene. The Shivering Isles was brilliant for me, probably my favourite Elder Scrolls location alongside Vvardenfell, better writing, deeper quest design and the dungeons were fun. Thinking about it, I really wonder how they're going to handle Alduin, he makes Mehrunes Dagon look like an insect, in fact if you dig around the lore forums you find that he actually made Dagon into what he is, so if Dagon's defeat was a cut scene how are they going to handle a dragon god who literally eats the whole of reality?

Roll on The Matrix, as soon as a corporation offers me that spike in the head I'm done.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim announced
On the subject of New Vegas, I do really hope the devs at Bethesda got a chance to play it, some of the quest design excellence must have rubbed off.
