An Update So I Can Say I Wrote Something This Month

So, I guess I should post something. I guess. If only to say I’m busy, which makes me feel like an ass. Speaking of ass, these classes I’m taking have been kicking mine, especially JAVA. There’s not enough caffeine in the world (or apartment) to escape my frustration with the JAVA language. That’s what I’ve been doing, and in between everything I’ve been sort of keeping up with the gaming world, especially the hearing of Hippies v. Common Sense. I mean Schwarzenegger v. EMA (Entertainment Merchants Association) and ESA (Entertainment Software Association). I just want it to be over so we can wait a year or so before a new bill goes through it all again. ‘Cause it’s fun.

Oh, and Pink Day was a huge success. We got over $10000 in donations for the Canadian Cancer Society. So, HA! I’ve contributed to society! And next year is going to be hell, putting it together, I mean. Fun in any other sense, but setting up for it, it’s already gnawing away from the back of my mind (I’m sure Rhonda’s having the same gnawing feelings).

OH! and champions Online going free-to-play? I just bought the damn game and three months when Steam had it on sale for $6. The setup is similar to Turbine’s, but the free tier is a bit more…lacking…in character slots. I shouldn’t have made 8 heroes, damn you creativity and imagination!

So, uh, that’s pretty much it for now, until I finish these classes I won’t really be able to get back on a normal blogging schedule which, again, makes me feel like one of those bloggers who only post to say why I’m not posting. Next post will be something awesome. Promise.

An experiment, if you will, of how well I can speak into a microphone…and maybe, just a little bit of original content? First ever episode of what will hopefully become a regular series here on the Lazy Geek, chances, however, with me being lazy, seem slim.

Also I have an actual 3d animated intro for other videos I make…and I need a mic. Damn, I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied with anything!

Oh, hello there! I haven’t seen you an a while, how’s it been? Me? Well, work I don’t get paid for calls, and by work I mean Closed Beta MMO testing. You know, with all these MMOs soon to be in either closed or open beta, I got some pretty nifty ideas for a not-regularly-scheduled podcast (and GOD do I ever mean anything better than my previous attempt) that deal with the one thing I’m not as usually lazy with, you know, Beta testing!

Speaking of which, you know, the Champions Online CB is nearing the end as OB will be starting the 17th (Just one week away, w00t!), so maybe, just maybe, that could thing I was talking about last paragraph…maybe.

Maybe.

Okay I’ll stop, in the meantime, to leave you all with fond memories of this lazy geek, I have proof that the current generation of children are not only going to hell, but will be going there in a handbasket, wearing these. God, should he exsist or not (depending on your religious preference, or not), help us.

And finally, as if Blizzard didn’t already have me on my knees begging for more, it’s been announced that StarCraft II has been pushed back to 2010.
