Thought I'd throw my hat into the meme ring

Checkin' in some more

Nothing much to say right now! Musings net, maybe?

• Microsoft's Natal and Sony's 1:1 Motion Dildo both look pretty sweet, but I seriously doubt I'd have any use for them. I mean, all my DS games are pretty much touch screen optional (Castlevania, Ace Attorney, Chrono Trigger) and the only Wii game I play is Smash Bros. I play all my games at a desk, for crap's sake.


• ...except for handhelds. It's a little slice of heaven to play Chrono Trigger while lying on a bed, waiting for the sandman to touch you in uncomfortable places carry you off to slumberville.


• I'm not creepy and smelly. I'm eccentric and musky. FU, Larry.


• You should come by and visit me some time in Cloudcuckooland.


• My resolutions. Last year I resolved to eliminate my credit card debt, and I succeeded. This year, I intend to say goodbye to the beer gut and mantits. They won't be missed.


• There's no food in my car. What the hell do these ants want from me?


• Lifted from a facebook friend's status:
  >(friend 1) Is off to another exciting adventure in math class -_- I'm definitely going swimming later.
  >(friend 2) (via Facebook Mobile) Dude. We made love for the first time last night. It was incredible.
  >(Ken Cow) lol, was that supposed to be a comment or a private message?!
  >(friend 1) my god [friend 2]..... i really hope that wasnt meant as a private msg...
  >(some guy) lol, [2] totally one-up'd your status, [1].


• I left a pad and pen next to my bed to make note of any interesting dreams I have. But my pen light ran out of batteries. In lieu of hunting down triple A batteries, I'll just not have interesting dreams until the sun comes up.


• Gary Busey is the greatest mind of our generation


• Is there a more whiny fanbase than that of Valve? Well, aside from the obvious, of course.

E3 so far

Well Team Ninja is making a Metroid game and (supposedly) Kojima is making a Castlevania game. Both ideas make me squeal with joy.

Now we need just need Epic to make a Megaman game or something. Or maybe Bioware should make a Sonic game. Nah, that would be stupid...

Mmm, wall meat...

Best summary of Castlevania ever, courtesy of /v/:

Just don't do what this asshole [Dracula] did when his girl got whacked. People will break into your house, steal the delicious meals you've hidden in the walls and beat the shit out of you with some guy's dead fiancée.

In dreams...

last night I dreamed it was Christmas. Then I woke up and was all like "dag nabbit it's not really Christmas, is it?" strange, huh?

Most of these are embarrassingly bad.

I had perfect attendance this week

that is a HUGE accomplishment for me. I deserve a reward.

Okay close the vault, I'm mortified already.

Post #155

Phew, long couple of weeks, but finals are over, and I've got my weekends and nights back, and two weeks off, to boot!

And like Stella, I've got my groove back, too. Yeah, c'mon

Oh, and since boobies are always related, see this:

Survival... I Think

In looking for material for my portfolio, I've come across some OLD documents from my academic past. This is from Critical Thinking, my freshman semester, the year 2001. Does it make any sense?

Medical professionals are extremely valuable assets when it comes to survival. The 41-year-old female nurse should prove very useful to the procreation of a new mankind. At 41, bearing children may be difficult, but it is not impossible, especially for a medical professional. Her age indicates her experience, and experience is necessary for survival. She should also be able to teach the younger survivors medical concepts. She will be able to heal the wounded and tend to the sick because of this experience. The nurse is also important because she can help deliver babies and care for newborns. Because she can also provide valuable assistance to the other medical professionals, the nurse is a good candidate for repopulating the new planet.

Youth is important for the preservation of the future. The 10-year-old elementary school girl is extremely valuable. Breeding is a very important issue, if not the most important issue, in repopulating the new world. Since you need to keep making babies in order to continue the population, the more babies produced, the better. The 10-year-old girl, although not sexually mature yet, will be perfect for breeding. Until she reaches maturity, she is practically useless. In a few short years, she will be able to bear children. When that day comes, the survivors will be able to take advantage of her fertility until she reaches menopause. In this time, she can have several children. The 10-year-old is key to survival because of her fertility.

Also, this:

Until I can drop off a few babies in the West Indies somewhere, I’ll just have to rely on what little I understand of human nature and agree with the aforementioned hypothesis. I won’t lose too much sleep over it.

Aspect Ratios, Scanlines, and Modern Displays

NFG World

For all [CRT monitors'] problems, they had some capabilities that the modern fixed-resolution LCDs and plasmas can't match. While modern displays have caught up or surpassed CRTs in many respects, in two specific criteria the old units are better than modern displays: image scaling and refresh speed.

LCDs and plasmas (and DLP projectors) are fixed resolution displays, and they don't scale images well. Photographs and TV shows and movies look just great when you zoom in or stretch them a little. They use a technique called resampling to create an image that's not quite entirely unlike the original, but bigger.

Pixels, however, are hard-edged pointy little things which look really terrible if you stretch them at all. Resampling a pixel makes it blurry, and half the appeal of pixel art is its clarity... Even if you're not a pixel-art fan, they often look out of focus. Many people won't notice, or won't care, and they might as well stop reading here. ;)

The alternative method of making them larger is hard-scaling. Rather than stretching them, you simply duplicate one horizontal or vertical row at a time until the proper size is reached. The problem with this approach is... Well, it's really ugly.

This is a brilliant article on retro games displayed on CRTs versus modern fixed displays. It goes into great detail, and has plenty of visual aids. Also, vaseline filters are the spawn of Satan.

Unreal Ed

It's definitely not the map editor I'm used to (that one being Quark, or perhaps Worldcraft. It's been so long) but it's getting easier. What to do once I learn to properly wield all this power!

Also, post 150!

Also, Tuesday is boozeday. I don't have too many drunk babe pics on hand at the moment. Drunkrockers.com is a pretty good site for that. Maybe you can find one for me and I'll rate you as a person.

Fetish Friday

Here's a fresh treat! One of the perks of being a Regular Guys Intern is meeting celebrities (mostly of the local and b-list variety). Once I heard some Suicide Girls were coming in I had to show up. Pictured here with some goober are Jules and Bettina Suicide (not morning people, one must assume) along with the inked up Coney Island hottie Insectavora, who are all a part of the Pretty Things Peepshow. They'll be performing their burlesque variety show at Smith's Olde Bar on the 11th. Yeah, c'mon!

This Euroweenie agrees with me, and uses lots of words and numbers and stuff to explain why we're right and you're an idiot for ever falling for this scam.

Everyone seems to be messing their pants about OnLive. I love to wreck a party, so here goes.
