About Me: Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma. |
Must be clever and frequently updated, yet not too "current." Bias toward brain-snobbery, surreal humor, retro gaming and 80s music preferred. Moderate to low profanity, though profundity with high profanity is acceptable. Sports sites without humor, silly rants like Bill Simmons or Pat Forde's or Gregg Easterbrook's, or anything overblown need not apply.
I think I had another post where I talked about Purdue basketball. Here I talk about Purdue football and, namely, the spread offense. So if you hate US football, ignore this. It does have a point, though!
So I took a break from writing my FPRPG mapmaker. Basically, what it does so far is to draw walls, doors and one way doors on a griddy maze. You can even turn graph paper on and off, and you can place dots on squares you visited and wipe them with one button. And I went and played the lame Mega Sudoku here which makes me feel smart when faced with a bug I know shouldn't be that tough. But it was a Monday MegaSudoku so it did not take long(with hints. Without hints it's mind-grinding bean counting) and didn't let me feel smart long enough.
I bought Fritz 8 for a bargain from Amazon about 9 months ago. About 2-3 months later I'd used it to annotate all of my games I'd played in high school and college in tournaments. At 400 games that was 4-5 a day. That included the easy ones, the tough ones, the long ones, and the ones where I'd written in moves badly. If it sounds like a lot, I think it helped for me to think "would I rather be doing this, or one of the time wasting things it's hard to admit aren't fun, because I've wasted so much time at them?"
I played a lot of chess in high school/college but increasingly looked for new ways to try and be creative while my chess got "solider" (read: mechanical and uninspired, and I realized I was hitting a ceiling.)
Well, I got my gift certificate to Amazon for writing for some of the last few NES North American titles. I had hoped to make it $50 by playing Stunt Kids, but there are other games to write for at the moment.
I remember when I was a kid, I wondered if one day software pirates would be jailed en masse. Now these days I think of how I'm able to emulate and write a guide for a game and even get paid for it...
...at the same rate per hour that people get paid to make license plates in prison.

Rats, couldn't fit "k" or the -ness suffix in there.
There are a lot of GameFAQs old guard who are just sort of, well, out there. Too nice to delete off AIM but I didn't know them well enough to talk to them. One of them was DJosef. On AIM he has his comment "last college radio show ever." And I remember posting in his LiveJournal about AP English exam stuff.
