That is, the service they had in Japan to allow people to get downloadable copies of games they owned that they could play on the Vita, however precisely it works (I'm not sure). It's going to be a Japan-only program.
... Yeah, it's far from unexpected -- honestly, I'm not surprised at all -- but still it's very stupid... so yeah, the Vita's expensive, requires an overpriced memory card to completely use (or to download games to), and has no way to play your games you own on disc, period. Rebuy the ones that are available on PSN. How nice.
Seems that the 5th GB Megaman is selling for some sort of insane amount these days... I'm glad I got mine long ago. I guess the word of mouth on how good this one was is spreading.
This is a lot like SETI@home and Folding@home, except for one big difference, it's "generalized", as in the distributed program can handle ANY sort of work load a project might wish (that can be done on a Turing machine, anyway). These work loads are all over the board, from major science research projects (like Folding@home), to major company research, to massive cloud computing work loads. That said, they have a selection process so just "having the money" isn't enough if your company just wants a platform to launch spam. Another big difference is that those who want a work load sent across this network need to pay up, and the project itself is a non-profit, splitting the pay between numerous worthy charities and random "prize winners".
Quite frankly, there's no part of this project I don't like. It's like a solution to all of life's problems.
Recently I took a trip a trip to my local McDonalds to try some of your wonderful McChicken Poppers. I have to say the visit was utterly horrifying! I've never been so scared for my life! The place was filled with poor gangster white thug trash of every caliper.
I have a few suggestions on how you can solve this problems to make future visits more enjoyable for other patrons such as myself..
Stop making your prices so reasonable! Poor white trash can't afford to pay more for high caliphor food of higher quality. I suggest you take on the StarBucks model of selling and brand name your products to sell at a higher price.
Remove all hip hop and country music from the store and replace it with NPR 24/7. White trash can't stand NPR, it's like deadly acid to them, poison that must be avoided at all costs.
Replace the TV's in the lounge with books.. And replace happy meal toys with math problems. Poor white trash won't see the point and abandon McDonald's in favor of monster truck rallies and all night strip clubs. Once we have them all in one place we can bomb the hell out of those buildings.
Replace all the interior lighting with scented candles and install a fireplace and a sitting couch. Thug nation can't tolerate a pleasant smelling cozy environment, it's to much like bathing to them and is unacceptable.
Finally, replace all the staff with all warm and caring people, exclusively from the Disney store. Happy cheerful people eat at the very sole of ghetto trash it's like dipping them in acid and will mill make them all run away screaming in horror.
I appreciate you taking the time to read my suggestions..
Thank you for your time!
This is a long article from the NY Times Magazine examining Israel's intentions about whether it wants to attack Iran or not. I think it's an interesting, and good, article, and the issue is certainly one of the major ones of this year -- will Israel attack Iran, will the US help them, and what will happen afterwards? War with Iran seems to be getting more and more likely all the time, which is certainly quite worrying. I mean, Iran's government is horrible, one of the worst, and that government with the bomb is something to be quite worried about... but really, ANOTHER Middle Eastern war? I really, really hope we can come up with a way to avoid this... :(
I'm polishing up 5 [yes, FIVE] separate novels for immanent release on Amazon/Kindle publishing services. Things have just gotten to the point where I really want to start getting my name out there, get people to reading what I've written and maybe attract some attention. If not...well...I tried, better luck next time.
The first one I'm starting with is Murder at the End of the World, a little mystery novel with a dash of Lovecraftian dark fantasy for that extra bit of spice. It started life as an experiment, to see if I could craft a self-contained novel that largely takes place in one location and follow one character exclusively. Went with mystery because it was a genre I hadn't tackled before and wanted to test myself. Lovecraftian dark fantasy because, hey, who doesn't like a little of that in their life? It's a bit on the short side at 46k words, but it feels right so I'm not going to try to pad it out just for the sake of numbers.
Hopefully I can get the last few details wrapped up on my final edit and get this out there by the end of this week, maybe early next week. I am excite!
