Hmm... well, on the one hand the Red Sox are off to a bad start, but on the other hand the Yankees aren't doing great either, and their new stadium seems to have some questionable air flow... so yeah, it's not all bad. :)
Also, it's nice to see Ken Griffey Jr. back in Seattle... it's where he belongs, really. :)
Looking pretty cool... and for the first time in a Wolfenstein game, he actually looks like a spy in this game! Or in the CG trailer at least, perhaps... :)
So apparently some writers are kinda bitter about how being connected by wireless devices in ALL OF EVERYWHERE renders age old plot devices nearly useless.
Well, not really. There are work arounds, you just can't use the missed connection in a modern setting with ordinary people any more. But hey, if we ever get a colony started on Mars, it'll be there again every several months or so when Mars and Earth are on opposite sides of the Sun, and that'll work fine until "mirroring" satellites are set up to bounce signals around the ol' man Sol.
But hey I've been noticing a lot of movies lately intentionally setting themselves in earlier periods. Works just fine.
Just be glad we don't have insta-repair nanotechnology yet. Then DEATH would be eliminated as a plot device :D, and shortly afterwards, you'd need to find something else besides CONFLICT to design a plot around :D.
Well... this is depressing, but it explains a lot, like why urban legends like the one about water circling the drain somehow make it into science books. It would seem there isn't some group of educated individuals actually writing these books so much as a group of editors reading older text books and just editing it down for the next generation.
I picked it up a few months ago for $2, but never got around to playing it until yesterday. If you believe what "The Internet" says, it's a train-wreck and a travesty of a sequel to the most perfect game ever made. So, imagine my surprise when I find out that Invisible War is actually really good and a lot closer to what I want out of my cyberpunk RPG than even the original.
Some of the RPG elements get toned down, but that aside it still present a great RPG experience with a more open world and plenty of choices about how to proceed through missions, and even from one mission to the next. That's probably my favorite thing about this game is how it doesn't just take you from one mission to the next, it lets you stop and fool around and explore the world.
Also, thanks to the high-resolution texture patch, it holds up fairly well in the graphics department.
The right wing has gone completely insane in the past few months... it's like they lost an election and are suddenly having to deal with being out of power or something... they aren't taking it well.
(Oh, and on the other hand, Obama's defense of illegal spying, refusal to investigate or punish anyone for doing it, and support for continuing the programs is utterly despicable, just as it was under Bush. Getting rid of this kind of thing is part of why we elected him, not CONTINUING it! It doesn't matter if he's using it against left or right, it's wrong.)
But really... the secession, militant threats, statements that Americans should rise up and "take back" their country from the horrible people who stole it... it's bizarre really. You know, we have elections. You lost. Wishing it away doesn't change that -- see "Bush v. Gore, 2000/2001", just the other way around. Except with a lot more hate and anger, because the right wing in America always outdoes the left on that by far. (If America had a strong far left that might be different, but last I checked, the American Communist Party, if there is one, isn't doing so well. :))
A stupid file is on the desktop. The stupid file remains.
You hit delete or drag it to the recycle bin.
It laughs at you, mocking you in its native tongue. "Cannot delete file. Cannot read from the source file or disk"
I want it gone. I have tried renaming it, no luck. I assigned it to a different file association, no luck. I put a booger on it, but my limitations to this reality meant that my monitor was hurt, not the file. After recouping I found strength in other people who had a similar problem.
Their answer?
Reinstall Windows.
There must be a way to kill this demon without the need to reinstall Windows.
