is up right now. Playing DQVIII and writing the review is sort of why posting has been light around here lately.

Don’t stop till you get enough

Video games
I’m working on a long review of Dragon Quest VIII. I’m 20 hours into the thing and most certainly not done. I still haven’t played the Final Fantasy XII demo that came with.
Television
I’ve seen three episodes of The Boondocks and Rex is right, it’s better than you’ve heard. The debate (on the black left?) […]

If anyone needs a cheap flight: from Josh Bearman comes word of $100 round-trip tickets on AirTrans.
I’m not buying an Xbox360. I mean, if you want to, go ahead, but I’ve come to this realization: I fucking hate any video game that makes the player control the camera.
I just had a Subway chicken parmesan 6″ […]
Stuff that’s rocking my world right this second

Google Analytics. So much power for free.
Last night’s Lost. Here’s a perfect example of something that’s simultaniously popular and the best in its field.
Grant Morrison’s All-Star Superman. I’m 26 and have been through three million Superman re-imaginings in my lifetime, so I approached this one like it was a sick monkey. Suspicions blown away! […]

Interesting: Bape, Gdeh, BxH can be lumped together as “urahara kei?” So says this Superfuture post. I really sometimes love clothes, which can be magic. Take the new ACR jackets and bags. They form a system. Fabric Gundams. You’d have to be insane to have money and not walk around dipped in Acronym with […]

My goodness, E3 was exciting. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo all announced their new video game systems. (Well, Microsoft bought an infomercial on MTV on the 11th, but that’s beside the point.) Why is this important? Who cares? ME. I LOVE VIDEOGAMES, AND IF YOU DON’T AND AREN’T RELATED TO ME, WE’RE DONE, NAWMEAN?
Just kidding. Let’s […]
Forget PSP

Look what daddy got in the mail:
Big thanks fly out to Linker4u.com. I ordered and paid via Paypal on Sunday and they got this to me today - EMS shipping from Taiwan. Five stars. UPDATE: Oh, how technopride goeth before the driverly, or perhaps pin-connecterly fall!
Weekend laze

Here’s an easy post: I keep a list called “media” to keep track of stuff I want to consume. This is it.
——————————-
Fiction:
Abe - The Woman In The Dunes
Ali - Brick Lane
Gardner - Mickelsson’s Ghosts (sounds great)
Murakami - Kafka on the Shore
Proust - Rememberance of Things Past (what’s the best translation?)
Speigelman - In The Shadow of […]
PSP

Sony revealed a launch title for their Playstation Portable, “Talkman” - you type in words in one language, and a CG mascot speaks them in another. A little more exact than ye olde phrasebook. Neat.
“Can you point me in the direction of the soaplands?”

So fucking cool: some maniac is remaking Zelda: Ocarina of Time in 2D. Via lightcycle.

Is here. I know exactly one person who can verify this information, if correct. Link via this Reg article. Update: My double-secret source thinks the architecture is weird and the CPU speeds are too high, unless they’re weird chips. Maybe this is an early design document? That would explain why the hard drive issue wasn’t […]
