The Lazy Geek

Did You See It?!

You missed it! It was great and you missed it! I can’t believe you missed it. Missed what? Well, I have a new domain! See? You didn’t even notice. Now instead of a silly sub-domain, I have a full domain dedicated to my lazy-ness and rants! It’s great, and you missed it. Wait until next week when everyone misses something else fantastic, it’ll be great, and don’t worry. I’ll be sure to tell everyone about it!

The Man Your Man Could Viral Market Like

If you’ve been following anything Old Spice-related, you’ve noticed today a lot of videos popping up that are video-replies to tweets and YouTube and Facebook comments and every single one of them are pure gold…if gold was not replaced by Old Spice as a high-value trading commodity. Old Spice and The Old Spice Guy AKA Isaiah Mustafa (AKA the guy I wish I could be) have won my heart forever, and infinite win of the internet. This is viral marketing done with perfection, and for it, I thank you with all my lazy heart.

The only question though, is would Old Spice cure my laziness or would it just turn me into a very manly lazy-man sitting in front of a computer desk made entirely of 20-sided dice?

If only…if only.

Guild Wars 2 Combat Articles: Healing and Death

The newest article for Guild Wars 2 brings us news of death penaltys and healing from one of the game’s designers, Jon Peters.

Let’s talk about healing and the traditional MMO trinity of DPS/Healing/Tank. Well, I guess the big thing is that there will not be a dedicated healing class(le gasp!), which will leave the monk profession either gone completely or as a fist-to-face action hero (One can dream). So what does this mean for your party? Well, for one, you don’t sit around with an almost-full party looking for a healer when you could be out bashing faces in. That’s always a plus in my book. Besides, players get their own special healing skill so who needs a silly healer? Read the rest of this entry »

Crazy Busy and a Happy 4th of July

So, as you may have noticed I’ve been a tad busy. “On what?” you might ask. Well, as you may or may not know, I’m design websites and am actually looking to get into it as a career, so for the last month or so I’ve been buried inside Dreamweaver and Photoshop working with Mr. “blue” Roysher and the Gaming World Entertainment Network crew on their website, but (way) earlier this morning at around 4am it all paid off as the site finally launched. So that’s been my big project for the last month, which means I’m now more free to get back to blogging and gaming.

Speaking of which, APB released and much to my dismay I still can’t get a decent FPS-count from it, but I’ve been assured it’s being worked on by the lazy developers, regardless, I’ve been having a blast with my Enforcer clan, Fist of the Empire [FoE] and can’t wait to see what Realtime Worlds rolls out for the game next (aside from major fixes).

Anyway, that’s what’s been going on, and tomorrow is Independence day, so for all you Americans, have a happy 4th of July, and even if you’re not American, have a good day regardless!

E3 2010: Sony Press Conference Recap

I know, E3 ended a few days ago. so, why am I only now getting to Sony’s press conference? Let’s be honest with each other, Sony didn’t exactly have a home-run of a show like Nintendo, or hell, not even a double like Microsoft. Don’t get me wrong, there were a few tiddbits here and there that were actually pretty cool, but you had better get ready for a whole lot of meh. Read the rest of this entry »
