Blame the paltform.....

I just watch two review on two different game…both of which I purchased. (Red Dead Redemption and Alpha Protocol)

Each review mentions a host of bugs and glitches for the games . Game crashed, control issues and graphic problems.

None of which I saw while playing these games. This confused me until I notice a key fact.

I purchased both games for the X-Box 360….the review copies where for the PS3.

Apparently code conversion for PS3 is still an issue….and ruining review impressions for good games.

P.S. Both games are great…..but only get them for the X-Box 360….apparently.

Help!

Someone get me out of my job. No, seriously, get me out. I need to desperatly find something else. The effect this job is having on my life is becoming too detrimental.

So, if anyone knows of any decent paying jobs that I might even be remotely qualified for, let me know. I will send you my resume.

Greeks

Your result for The Greek Mythology Personality Test...

The Oracle

33% Extroversion, 67% Intuition, 44% Emotiveness, 90% Perceptiveness

Heuristic, detached, and analytical to a fualt, you are most like The Oracle. You are able to tackle any subject with a fine toothed comb, and you possess an ability to pinpoint nuances and shades of meaning that other people do not have and cannot understand. Accomplishment and realization of ideas are, for you, secondary to the rigorous exploration of ideas and questions -- you are, first and foremost, a theorist. You hate authority, convention, tradition, and under no circumstances do you accept a leadership role (although, you will gladly advise leadership when they're going astray, whether they want you to or not). Abstraction and generalities are your interests, details and particulars are usually inconsequential and uninteresting. You excel at language, mathematics and philosophy.




You are typically easy-going and non-confrontational until someone violates one of the very few principles that you deem sacred, at which point you can fly into a rage. Although you possess a much greater understanding of process and systems than the people around you, you are always conscious of the possibility that you've missed something or made a mistake. You don't tend to become attached to particular theories, and will immediately discard mistaken notions once they're revealed to be incorrect (but you don't tolerate iconoclasts who try to discredit validated theories through the use of fallacies and bad data). Despite being outwardly humble, you probably think of yourself as being smarter than most other people. That's because you are. In fact, in your dealings with people your understanding of their motives is so expansive that you know what they're going to say before they say it, and in world affairs, you usually know what is going to take place before it actually does. This ability would make you unbeatable in debates if only you were a little less pensive about your own conclusions, and a little more outgoing.



Famous people like you: Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Adam Smith, Thomas Jefferson, John McWhorter, Ramanujan, Marie Curie, Kurt Godel

Stay clear of: Apollo, Icarus, Hermes, Aphrodite

Seek out: Atlas, Prometheus, Daedalus

Logic Ever so Circular.

I actually loved the end of this Penny Arcade Post .

It does well to sum up how folks online seem to argue about software piracy.

For those to lazy to read, this is the segment I'm refering to.

"A centralized defense against piracy is also suggested, and things tend to go downhill quick after this. It is not a mischaracterization to say that conversations with the hardcore PC community about software theft follow these tenets:

- There is no piracy.
- To the extent that piracy exists, which it doesn't, it's your fault.
- If you try to protect your game, we'll steal it as a matter of principle."

I just love how this not only sums up the arguments online..but shows how they seem to contradict each other.

I have actually hear these arguments from folks several times (online and off), and they have never held water for me.

First thing, if you make it easy to steal and it is hard to prove it is stolen , people will steal it. Even if they can afford it normally.

Second, if stealing it becomes too easy, a culture will develop where stealing is normal. And therefore justified. And this will create arguments like what is seen above.


To paraphrase a comment in the video below: If you steal a game the developers won't want to release it on PC. Just consoles.

ACNW 09

My Game Schedule this year

Slot 1: Giants In the Playground
Slot 2: A Cosmic Encounter "GM"
Slot 3: Razors and Rings
Slot 4: Random's Regular Game
Slot 5: Warlord's Quadrant: Armada
Slot 6: Ultimate High School Testu No Sakana (GM)
Slot 7: Amber Family Therapy

I'm GMing 2 games this year…which should be interesting.

The funny bit is, one game has only 3 players (we're just playing a board game….so it should be OK) and the other has 4.


Next time….I'll see about crafting a better pitch for games.

You learn something new.......

After reading the news I learned something important.

"Orgiastic" is a word.

It's used commonly in anthopology.....to describe parties in Rome.

I honestly thought I was just reading too much into it.
