Write these words back down...

Nothing to say...

Seriously, there's not even a stitch of news about me. Sorry. (Because I truly think you care...) Read on for things you might ACTUALLY care about though...


"R" Rated Transformers?

I really don't know how much weight you can put into this "news" article from JoBlo.com.

Supposedly the MPAA gave the first submission of the new Transformers movie an 'R' rating for intense violence. Michael Bay, not wanting to make any changes, apparently called upon a higher power, uttering some sort of dark prayer. That higher powers was, apparently, Steven Spielberg. Now, after working some sort of voodoo magic, the same film has been relegated to the land of PG-13.

Again, I really don't know if I can trust this completely un-cited story. I gather we are supposed to take it upon authority that user "ElderPredator" is just "in the know."

If it is true, however, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I mean, yes, the original cartoon had shooting and guns and things, but, it was still more than acceptable for the average child to watch. But, this new version is supposedly not watchable by anyone but adults? What gives Michael Bay? Moreover, what's the deal with making a movie that's clearly not watchable by children, and then having the great and powerful Wizard of Hollywood bully the MPAA into dropping its rating?

I don't get it.

Oh well.


The Top 10 Most Important Video Games of all Time!

This is mildly interesting.

Mostly, they've decided that the following are the most important games of all time, but there's more story than that, some of which is somewhat worth reading, but only if you have time.

Mr. Lowood and the four members of his committee — the game designers Warren Spector and Steve Meretzky; Matteo Bittanti, an academic researcher; and Christopher Grant, a game journalist — announced their list of the 10 most important video games of all time: Spacewar! (1962), Star Raiders (1979), Zork (1980), Tetris (1985), SimCity (1989), Super Mario Bros. 3 (1990), Civilization I/II (1991), Doom (1993), Warcraft series (beginning 1994) and Sensible World of Soccer (1994).

I Mention an Article... because it's filled with stupid.

CVG, a website I can't remember visiting before, but apparently exists none the less, reported about something the CEO of ID Software said, which is that ID went to consoles to 'battle piracy'.

I'm just gonna say... DUH! I mean, wow, it's slightly harder to pirate a video game, but, at the same time, piracy is part of the gaming world.

What really made me laugh was this:

In the discussion, Soren Johsnon - designer/lead programmer, Sid Meier's Civilization III & IV - said "game design on the PC is going to bend toward persistence" as in MMOGs. Massively multiplayer online games succeed because "You cannot pirate an MMO. Period", said Johsnon.

You can't pirate an MMO, eh? Tell that to the guys on the various Hamachi servers...


The Internet's not a Big Truck...

But soon, it may not be a series of tubes either?

Several big companies are pushing for internet to be offered a whole new way... over the airwaves. Specifically, they want to use the channels in various markets that aren't being used already to offer high speed internet service.

It's an interesting read, though the Washington Post article does not mention important factors like speed, security, and cost. Most notable in all of this is the plain and simple fact that you cannot 'own' anything being transmitted over the air, so, I can't imagine it would take long before people 'hack' the technology and it becomes another 'pirated' service. The other issue is that I can see the potential in 'receiving' data, but how, without every user building a massive radio tower, could people also send specific data. Also, how many users could such a technology actually support?

I hope these answers come swiftly.

The good news is that something like this might mean my Comcast bill could go DOWN for a change...

I know, I know. That won't EVER happen. But, it's nice to dream a little.


Gangsta Rap... Colouring Book?

bahahhahahahahahhahahaha

Clearly the Sun is the most reputable of all news sources, but, I can't help but laugh at the little girl that's coloring '50 Cent' "white".
