I was writing an opinion piece about Resonance of Fate. After I came back from lunch, the laptop crashed. I lost everything I had written up till that point.

God, I need booze...

I have an iMac. It's amazing. Only problem is that my house has serious humidity problems, so when the air is cold, the heat from the processing behind the screen generates this blurriness..

Works great in the Summer though.

The iMacs at school like to give me static shocks.. that's the only thing I hate about them.. lmao.

Is there a way around that? XD I mean sometimes they are pretty strong... lol its not fun.

It's a fantastic show. It's made by the some guy who did Gargoyles and The Spectacular Spider-Man, which are also fantastic television shows.

Wordpress, the older versions when I was at SN would always crash on me for some reason. One time I did a review and it crashed. LOST. Did it again and it crashed, LOST.

I was bitching at Chris and his like "Dude, I thought everyone just used word then transferred it?"

=.= "I do too man... what do I look like an idiot?"

I still don't like to transfer from word or openoffice. Something about it just creeps me out.

It wasn't quite WP itself. My Toshiba laptop crashed for absolutely no reason.

I used to write on Word then transfered it over, but I felt it was a lot easier to just write on WP and save while writing. I rarely saved because I would finish a piece quickly and just post it.

This one was much longer than what I'm used to, but like I said, my latop, ever since I updated the latest BIOS, it very rarely crashes.

Guys, be careful with the Facebook Like Button module.

There seems to be a new security exploit related to iframe wrappers (not completely new this has already been reported since 2008), so run the anti-virus in the backoffice just to be on the safe side.

Sometimes I don't understand why most people in the gaming community are so overly critical of everything.

Most people today are jaded and overly critical of most things, probably due to lack of sex and/or beer.

The Mafia stuff was such a great idea, but every change and post made around it was terrible. We even have to fix our avatars.

I was going to change my site to "US Resistance" for the day, but then I saw how many weeks Shadi worked on The Mafia stuff and decided it was not worth a few giggles.

A writer for Kotaku wrote a story about how he can't get into games anymore. I think he is in the wrong business. Not only that, it got a ton of agrees with people at N4G, who whine about every game ever. What do they say? All games now suck.

Awesome.

It's weird, I feel this way right now about movies in general. Hollywood is creatively bankrupt as of late.

I've been enjoying video games far more than a couple of years back.

I feel that paying full price for a video game is more than money well spent compared to to buying a full price DVD.

But I can understand why some gamers feel this way, after the 11,460th Call of Duty clone this generation, there's very little creativity outside of the established tentpole franchises.

But as far as Kotaku goes, I'm done with them. Their new blog design is horrible and frankly, they should stop reporting about games and do more reports about Japanese culture instead, because that's all they're doing these days anyway.

And even then, IGN did a feature about Yakuza 4 where they invited a US reporter to chat about Yakuza. I learned more about how the japanese mafia works in that IGN feature than reading half of the crap on Kotaku.

It happens to me too sometimes. If you're like me it'll pass pretty quick.

Also where is the regular smiley face on this forum?

I have to disagree, I mean there is so much great stuff out there this generation that I don't get how people can be bored. There is literally at least one new game every single week available to the public, and that's only the more mass-market retail stuff. When you take into account the more obscure titles and online only titles etc there's just tons of games to play. I mean, there really is such a huge wealth of variety and titles out there that it's almost mind-boggling to think that you could dislike all of it, or get bored with all of it.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you think that the industry has gotten boring or that games are all dull and samey, you are just not looking hard enough.

Go and buy Zeno Clash on XBLA or Steam for a prime example of something really unique.
