In other news, good game + no DRM > piracy

onefinemess | May 1, 2009

Duh.
Stardock makes quality games these days.  If I had more money & time I might even buy some of them.  Sins of a Solar Empire certainly looks like an awesome time sink.
The game in question though, Demigod, doesn’t look like my cup of tea.  Too much focus on multiplayer, not enough unit types, etc.  That [...]

Erfworld has me confused lately

onefinemess | April 20, 2009

Starting here.
I don’t get it.  Where did he go?  Why did the guy vulcan his ass?  And then why was the dirtamancer acting completely different after they left…and where did they leave??? Soooo head burning.
Was it the place in between disbandings?
Probably my favorite strip on the net…and I was cool with all the various references [...]

onefinemess | April 19, 2009

So, here’s one from today, with the link happily redacted:
Yooo..
I kno it has nothing to do with what you wrote, but have you ever heard of [some bullshit link]. They seems to promise free ringtones
PS. Dont be an ass, this is NOT spam ;)
Cheeky isn’t it?
I wish I had the one I accidentally deleted this [...]

Laughing at Ann Coulter

onefinemess | April 3, 2009

Really, people should know by now to avoid internet on April 1. Or, at the very least, not to get all wound up about ANYTHING you see posted on that day until some time has passed.

I guess it’s hard to think around that big mouth.
Ann Coulter clowns herself.
Here’s a roundup of a bunch [...]

X-Men: Kingbreaker #4

onefinemess | March 27, 2009

was some the shit yar.
AKA Starjammers v4.3 or so.
The thing with Havok and the star guy…CLASSIC.
Some major shake-ups, a direct lead in the no-I-won’t-link-it probably return of Jean Grey, good action scenes and another original Starjammer potentially dead (although I suspect he’ll return as some warped hybrid before too long).
Ch’od loses an arm in War [...]

Q: What can you learn from mmo players about social interactions?

onefinemess | February 23, 2009

A:  Nothing!  They don’t interact with humans!  *ba dum ting*!  But seriously folks, I’m here for all of the next 5 minutes.  Is this thing on?
But really seriously folks, Sony gave some folks 60 TB of EQ2 data to pour through and analyze.
This bit cracks me up.  Money!:
Buried among those happy, average players was a [...]

google maps truck hits deer

Guy walking around with a gun?  This is America!  Not such a big deal.  But this is funny (yes, in a sad way).

anti-links: Phelps drama & (re)creating neanderthals

onefinemess | February 13, 2009

First installment of a new topic type wherein I talk about things that are floating all over the interwebitubers, without providing any relevant links.  Stuff we’ve all seen, or can easily find with some google-age, that I’d just like to shoot the shit about.
Topic #1: The Phelps pot thing.
The witch hunt aspect of this is [...]

webcomics

onefinemess | February 4, 2009

So I keep meaning to do a post about the webcomics I read.  And lo, but here it finally is.
What’s in my feed?   These, in no particular order:

Penny Arcade: Duh. If you’re a gamer, and you don’t follow this somewhat regularly…I’m surprised.   Sometimes this has a semblance of a running plot – it used to [...]

onefinemess | January 1, 2009

OK, not really.  But if you’re into comics, this might amuse you.
