Previous posts:Part 1 - "The Eric Skys Show"Part 2 - "Eric Skys, Part 2"Well, here I am writing about Eric Skys again.Though the news has been quiet since his arrest, I could find one new article about him, linked here. It mentions a fact that I must have previously glossed over - before he started any of this conning stuff, he had a warrant out for him due to probation …
Haa, some of you might remember me saying that I made a couple videos of RO2. I resisted posting them because I made them back in April and I was still a total loser at the game (you can see my great noob tactics in action!), but I wanted to post them anyway so that I could say I kept a promise, even if it's a stupid one. ^^;The descriptions below each video are the ones that …
IntroductionToday I ended up watching the MGS4 live gameplay broadcast for a few hours, and then to my surprise, found myself in the position of giving it a hands-on later in the evening. As I thought, there's more to the story of what MGS4 is than initially meets the eye. Metal Gear Solid 4 is good, but it's not Metal Gear as you know it.Simply put, it's another run-and-gun …
Well, I just finished telling the FBI what I knew about that guy Eric Skys, the alleged con artist that I knew. I noticed that there's a video of him online, and also noticed that someone or other posted a really weird comment on my first post about him - rather suspicious.Anyway, now I can officially say that I did the right thing, and I'm sure that the investigators will …
Today, among other things, I upgraded my computer from Windows Vista to Windows XP. In the process, I found a new definition of pain and suffering.This wasn't your grandma's "find drivers and install them" trip, it was one of those full blown "pull out the hex editor and PCI bus monitor" ones. I found myself using basically everything I've learned about …
Due to eirienlisandrie pointing out to me that I never actually got around to decking out my journal in bloglike apparel, I went ahead and did so today. New to my LJ are a Twitter feed, blogroll, improved design, and I've signed up with a few blog antennas, pingers, and Technorati and such.As Eirien implied, "How can you say you want to become important when you don't even …
In case you haven't been checking up on the Mother 3 Fan Translation, I have. This morsel was released on Tuesday: "The patch will be out at the end of this week."Today, for the record, is Thursday in most of the world - so if you've been planning to clear your calendar for when the patch comes out, you probably have at …
So, after spending a good portion of the year saying I would, I finally, finally watched the Penguin Girl show. It is easily the worst-made, most vile, disgusting show I've seen in a long time. There is no plot, there is nothing of interest that happens that wouldn't appeal to an utter pervert, and, um.. I love it. ;_;I formally submit myself to the punishment of a thousand …
Huh. I just realized I never posted this. "Hurricane Riri, Boston Mari" is easily my favorite and most-listened-to song this year, from my favorite band this year, AAA (Attack All Around). …
So Wired published an article which, among other things, claims that languages like Singlish will inherit the Earth.True, the article's more about Chinese English than Singaporean English, but I find this all very amusing considering the government's stance on the matter. xD;
Even though this is slightly risque, I think it's incredibly cute. I have no idea why it didn't catch on. Still, it's not too late to dote up a cat. (It's an eroge where a dog-boy courts catgirls.)You may praise a tail.
Your 3D post was rather good, and your Caramelldansen find was the best ever, but nobody beats me in memetic videos. I'm afraid I have to pull out my big guns now.Hah! Take that!
This is exactly the type of crap I usually send to Kyaa. xD; Unfortunately, I never seem to be online when he is, so I'll just indescriminately torture everyone with it instead. ^^This is a very old, tired, boring meme, but I do have to say, this really IS the best rendition of it, and I'm not just saying that because the meme compelled me to. :x(*coughs* Almost wasn't gonna …
Today is a very special day for Sarahflansakis everywhere - all four one of us, anyway. Today is what I've taken to calling Epoch Day, a day where I note the time that has passed and question what the future might bring for me.It's sort of like a birthday and New Year's rolled into one; almost every August 31st for a decade now, something significant and life-changing has …
Haa, awesome.I doubt anyone remembers it, but my friend mjneko and I have been dealing on and off with someone who wanted me to do programming work because he thought I was a Fucking Awesome Hacker. He's been a constant nuisance, since he's a complete moron who has no god damn idea what he's doing with technology or anything else. And, well.. apparently he's more of a …
This story posted at Yahoo pleases me greatly. It goes into detail about research into the minds of investors, playing the devil's advocate and suggesting that they are rather thoughtless when making economic calculations."John Coates, a Cambridge University researcher into biochemistry and behaviour, says market fluctuations are amplified by hormones... During the dot-com …
This is one of the videos currently topping the charts and rolling in the wwwww's at Nicovideo. Is it me or do they even do lolcats better? :x
*sniffle*I'm so happy.. Slashdot mentioned OS/2 for some reason. ;_;The horse isn't dead, damn it! It really isn't!This.. this could work! o.oDamn you all.. ;_; *sobs in the corner*
In an ongoing attempt to be less of a grouch, I decided to give the DSi a fair chance. And you know what? After looking over the specs of the DSi, I'm actually impressed - the internals appear to be massively upgraded, enough that they might have the capability to compete with the PSP (or at least the iPhone) after developers get used to them.Furthermore, if Nintendo handles …
As shown on the product page, Chaos Wars is now on backorder. Gamestop has an exclusive agreement to carry the game, so it is likely to be unavailable for some time to come unless you can find it in a local store.The game was released today, and games typically end up in stores the day after they ship, so if you wanted it and haven't reserved it you should look for it …
