I finally found a game that makes me want a PS3…

onefinemess | January 29, 2009

Disgaea 3.  Yes, it’s supposed to be bizarre.
The first one was awesomesauce – and probably the last console game I spent any serious amount of time with (I casually VERY casually play the Wii Super Mario these days).  Didn’t even realize there was a second one.
Very curious to see how the visuals look on a [...]

you know your

onefinemess | January 27, 2009

local recordstore is getting snooty when they fail to list Bruce Springsteen’s new album on their new releases list.  Because, you know, he doesn’t have many fans left, probably won’t sell many records, or whatever.  They had Franz Ferdinand and some other random indie band on the list for today.
As of today (27th) the new [...]

come – get some!…links

onefinemess | January 25, 2009

Links says “All your lunchbreaks are belong to us! ”
A comparison (and genealogy if you will) of the Windows 7 & Mac OS X taskbars.
Some weird article that may be a hoax or random exaggeration about “The” Plague killing Al Qaeda operatives.
Images of unsold cars piling up at distribution centers.
How to move a boat without [...]

movie review: Wanted

onefinemess | January 24, 2009

So we got this from netflix and watched it last night.
I wasn’t like, excited to see it or anything, but I did actually want to see it.
First off – in case you don’t know (which you probably do) – it’s based on a HORRIBLY mean spirited comic that would never make it to the silver [...]

Thunderbolts 128 and Dark Avengers 1

onefinemess | January 23, 2009

on the other hand, were crap.
Don’t get me wrong, they were well written.  I just have zero interest in reading one book about Osborn, let alone 2 (and god knows how many crossovers).  If you thought Tony Stark was annoying when he popped up “being right” in all the other titles…just imagine Osborn popping up [...]

X-Factor 39

onefinemess | January 23, 2009

was very good.
and very sad.
and I have no idea where it’s going now.  You should pick it up – although the resonance won’t be near as strong if you haven’t been a long-time reader.  Seriously, this thing has been brewing since nearly the beginning of the series.  Ouch.
I’ll be cutting my pullbox back substantially in [...]

things to be thankful for: good jobs

onefinemess | January 22, 2009

So my boss & I had this phone call the other day with this guy selling online training software.  You know, teaches you Excel, Word, networking, Cisco stuff, whatever. IT related stuff.
First off, the guy obviously had no idea how we function as a business – he was quite obviously used to working with big [...]

Wow, rhinos

onefinemess | January 20, 2009

WoW gave hunters pet rhinos.
Fuck.
I guess that’s the final straw.
Full pet-spec hunter here I come!

Hmm, I wonder how many levels my hunter needs to 51 to unlock the exotic pets.

Yay for January 20th! Dear 44,

I thought your speech was good, and it hit most of the important notes I thought it should – although potentially in somewhat vague language (but hey thats politic-speak right? :( ).
I’m hopeful, but not stupid or euphoric.
Good luck Mr. President.   Even with your vaunted intellect, I think you’ll need it.  You’ve inherited a [...]

I won my first 8-4 AAA draft today!

onefinemess | January 18, 2009

Anyway…I rarely play 8-4s because they are full of the good people (most players have 1750+ ratings  – mine was about 1485 today – you start at 1600, so that means I lose.  A LOT.).  Mainly I do 8-4s when I want to try and raredraft: the people there are so much more set on [...]
