When we divine, we identify four winds. In my case, these winds are: Red: Rage Steve/Retro Gaming Steve, identified by Red Mario. This refers to the fact that Rage Steve is represented by delving ever deeper into Retro Gaming at the expense of all else. White: Community Gaming Steve, (aka Gamers with Jobs) identified by Green Mario (because he's similar in color to Luigi, signifying a team

Our resident Furry friend has started a blog. Most excellent.

Over the weekend, my friend and I beat Super Metroid over the course of two nights or so. It was a fantastic time, especially considering how Super Metroid was one of the games I was never able to beat during my childhood, so going back and conquering the shit out of it was quite satisfying indeed.

I've been advised that 24 games in a month is a feat that very few human beings are able to achieve. While this goal would be within reach if the majority of the games were short little 1-2 deals, most of my games are 60+ hour RPGs. In fairness, it was late, and I was not thinking straight. I'll continue to do the "End of the World" challenge, but instead of beating all 288 games, I think

As a sort of fun little challenge to myself, I've placed a deadline of December 21st, 2012 for myself to beat all of the unbeaten games on my console backlog - sort of a "End of the World" challenge. How far I get determines how I'll judge my worth as a human being in the highly unlikely event that the world actually ends. Not counting unbeaten PC games, (this is the console challenge after all)

There's an illness going around. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, seeing that it's flu season and all, but no thanks to Chris (who as far as I can tell is the progenitor of this madness) we've all gotten sick. Jared and myself are the two unlucky current victims. As far as colds go, though, this one isn't too terribly bad - it's not so much the sinuses that are giving me trouble, it's all

This blog oftentimes serves a dual purpose: not only do I use it as a platform to pine about whatever random madness has set in on any particular day, I also use it to further clarify my positions on things that stem from group discussions. While it may appear as though I'm somewhat proficient at the art of pontificating verbally, I'm most at home here, in the written word. I sort of have the

I've noticed that a fair number of people are hitting my blog while looking for "Stormcloaks vs Empire", or something to that effect. Because my previous post was massively unhelpful in the context of the question, that is, what side to choose in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, I now offer the following: One side tried to kill you, regardless of the fact you weren't involved.

A while ago I posted a blog entry on Tahnlu and his various goings on. This post isn't about those specifically, but in that entry I linked to a website where you could watch his old EQ movies. That site has since gone silent, but I've come into possession of the movies in question, and am working on a... solution.

I've noticed that the search phrase "accordion paragraph" hits my blog a lot, which means that my accordion paragraph blog post has been getting a fair bit of traffic. Out of curiosity, I googed "accordion paragraph" and this is what I got: (You may need to click on it to see it better) I'll be the first to admit that I have absolutely no idea how Google analytics work, if such a thing is

I just realized something. Democrats are people who have to work for a living. Republicans are people who get everything handed to them. The entire political system works off of those two axioms. You're welcome.

And so it ends. It was a strange con this year, as you've probably noticed if you've been to the Frump's or the Antihero's blog as of late, where similar post-NDK topics are making the rounds. To be honest, this post took me three tries to write because I wasn't really sure what it is I wanted to say or how I should say it, and because I wanted to give myself time to process what my feelings

I had a profound... experience today. I had the... chance to hang out with a few friends from "the old life" this evening. While it was not an overtly enjoyable event, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. In truth, looking back upon the "old friends" and elements from that life elicits in me a feeling that is a cross between disgust and longing. Longing because I know that I once

It's about that time again, folks. What have we been playing this month? StarCraft II: Still nothing new, but we've found out that with how infrequently we play, we're not getting out of Bronze League.

One of the reasons I don't blog very often is because the things I have to say don't really change very often; that is, most of you already know what I think about most things, and blog posts that restate these feelings don't really serve much of a purpose. I could launch into religion, but most of you essentially feel the same way I do. Nobody cares about politics. I've decided to start a

I was watching a discussion on religion earlier that moved into some interesting territory. During the discussion, someone pointed out that humanity is slowly starting to understand that we lack the tools to fully define what the "correct" religion/belief is (which, if you've been following Jared's blog, you'd know that we'd reached that conclusion a long time ago.) What this essentially means is

I was going to put "Chart of Morality" in the title, but I think we've all figured out by now that the Christian concept of "Seven Deadly Sins" are not a good judge of morality - but they are an interesting way to spend an evening trying to determine where you fall. First, we ranked the "deadly sins" and assigned to them a point value, as well as determined what the opposite (virtue) is of each

A few posts are missing now. Frankly, if it is my intention to begin this writing thing for real, then its time to stop posting random insanity. Or I could just be taking this madness too seriously, and should let my blog reflect the... turmoil? No, that isn't the right word. Let the blog reflect the... inner machinations of my mind? Better. I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but a prudent

You know what the hardest thing about writing is? It's figuring out what to write. And this whole time, that's been my problem: it's not one of competence, its one of motivation. And, to a lesser degree, indecision. I read these gaming sites fairly often; sites like The Escapist and Gamers with Jobs. The writing on these sites is good, and it's something that I could very easily do if I put my

Good evening and hello. Welcome. Come inside and make yourself at home. May I offer you some tang? Perhaps some Sunny D? Oh, that? The whirring and humming noise that you hear? Yes, of course, that's just my portal to the 90's in the billiard room. No, don't pay it any mind, it's perfectly harmless. Just don't get too close. Would you like to see my relic collection?

Anyone remember the 90's? By the 90's, I mean the period of time between 1995 and 2004 or so. Those were some good times, and arguably my most formative years. That was back when, by and large, the internet was still new. It seemed to be a place of wonder and self discovery. And a lot of really shitty geocities sites. Lycos was the top dog of search engines (well, either them or Excite, I can't

We finished Basilisk sometime last week, and let me say, that anime is all sorts of hilarious. I was going to put a picture of a particular character's death here but my considerable google-fu skills fail me here.  (He gets thrown over the side of the boat; but his power is that he turns into a slug. Salt water + this guy is not a nice combination. Boobie chick jumps in to save him. Too much

So, here we are, 2011. What's new? Not much. Oftentimes I find myself thinking about my mental state. Am I still sane? Are any of us truly sane? An idea was planted into my head: the passing of years doesn't really matter. Life moves in phases, which the years take part in shaping, perhaps, but a year doesn't really serve much use in terms of marking the passage of time. People can change

No, this isn't going to be one of those whiny posts. I think I'm pretty far past that now. I took a few moments to read over all of the previous posts of this blog. It's an interesting journey between where I started on March 3rd 2010 to now, December 15, 2010, and even more interesting to read about what my thoughts may have been on these changes over the past year. I had a few thoughts about

Back to an attempt at Monday Wednesday Friday update schedule. I suppose something like that would be easier if I were like Penny Arcade and was actually producing something of value to put up here, but alas, alll I can offer are the various rantings and raving from my shattered and sundered mind -- much like the world of Azeroth. Speaking of Azeroth... Cataclysm is actually quite fun -- I'm

And so it ends. My first semester back in school after 3 or so years out of it is over. I'm still not sure how I feel. It was an odd roller coaster of a trip - first, the pressure of going back to school. There's a good deal of anxiety there, between considering the path of one's future, to wondering if one will do well, to wondering if one will fit in, to... all sorts of things. It's an odd

On this week's Striving Podcast (over on the right) he talks about the concept of meditation: the idea that we calm our minds and process whatever information that's in there at the moment. As many of you probably know, I have a lot of trouble sleeping. It's a scary, self perpetuating cycle: if you don't sleep, you worry about sleeping, and if you worry about sleeping, you don't sleep. It's not a

Constitutionals, as evidenced by last night's, is a time perfect for internal musings about various matters of interest: life, love (though it really ought to be called lust) and the nature of human existence. In last night's case, the subject matter was death. It is an interesting subject to ponder for me as of late. Why does a species who is so afraid of the unknown and the unexpected (of

As many of you know, as of late my soul has been completely and totally dominated by a game called Minecraft. The people I show this game to have two very distinct reactions: "This is how you spend your time? Really?" and "Hey, this looks pretty neat!" Fortunately (or unfortunately, as the case may be) the "hey, this may be neat!" crowd tends to get hopelessly addicted to the game. You get what

I invite all of you to give a listen to a podcast over at Striving Podcast. A lot of what was said over there really resonated with me and got me to thinking. There's a point that he raises: that the feelings that we think we'll get from owning an object is a purely false one. This could not be any more true; that we as humanity are so afraid of the changes that we'll go though - be it getting

I broke my own rule, the one that says "Never debate religious issues with other people." It's a lost cause, because neither party is necessarily going to concede the main point of debate, whatever that may be. In our case, the issue pinballed between religion (which there wasn't much of a disagreement on it; she has the right to believe in her Christian faith, whereas I have the right to be a

Every fiber of financial prudence in my body tells me that I ought to monetize my blog; but I'm not sure if it's really worth it to do since because my readership is so low, I'd probably be making pennies. Moreover, since half of my readership is in the apartment as me, the IP address on each hit would be the same as mine, and that could pop up as fraud to the people to watch these things and

It seems the blog rush has come once again -- I would be remiss to let it pass by. Most of you reading this have already started blogs of you own, but to the extremely small reader base who have not, I encourage you to start one. As I've mentioned before, it can be quite therapeutic, and proves to be a fairly decent way to get whatever may be bothering you out of the way. Hell, it can even be a

As an aside, the venerable Lord Frumpus recently launched an anime blog. You should go see it. Link to the right somewhere. StarCraft II launched yesterday, and I must say, it is easily the best game of 2010. It's a terrible shame that it took them 12 years to finally get around to releasing it, but I suppose it's better late than never. Pros: -It's StarCraft.-I like the new battle.net

I want to get into the habit of blogging every day, but I'm not sure what to write about, so I figure I ought to try that "stream of conciousness" writing style where you just sort of start writing and see what falls out. It's supposd to be the best way to get into the habit of writing. Growing up, I never liked writing. It always seemed like kind of a waste of time, but then, that was back

Today is a blog day, since we're all evidently updating. This will be my first relatively deep blog post in a while. The new keyboard is in a better location now, and I'm wearing my computer glasses, which actually help me concentrate. I'm liking this new setup, but I digress. Let's begin. I often wonder what my mind would look like if a spigot suddenly opened on my forehead and deposited the

I'd figured I'd toss out a post with hints of various projects I've been working on, so as to assure you, gentle reader, that I am very much alive. There are a few blog posts currently kicking their way around in my head: beliefs vs. opinions, religion, poiltiking round 2. I've also started writing again, so expect to see a few sample of that here and there. Finally, I've started creating a D&D

Evidently, according to Tom, I'm stuck in the 90's. I contend that I'm stuck in the early 2000's. On a whim, I went to check out Tahnlu's website at www.tahnlu.com. This redirects to www.tahnlu-entertainment.com which then redirects to www.project-tsy.com. Had one gone to this website a year ago or so, one would have seen a splash page with an undead priest from WoW with the words "coming soon",

I got a new keyboard today. It's the upgraded version of the G15 keyboard that I had before. My review is as follows: Most importantly, it's a joy to type on as most new keyboards are. I like the relative squishiness that it has, and it's nice, quiet, and clean. I'll have to take greater steps to keep it that way, such as thoroughly washing my hands before each use. The screen is much better

Ah, the world of politics. While a lot of people hate them, I actually find them sort of interesting. When I say politics, I also lump personal beliefs in this category as well since political systems are often based around the application of these beliefs. I would exclude faith here, as it is my opinion that faith has no place in any sort of political system. Mine are thusly posted here so some

So, I mentioned earlier that I'm not a big fan of blogs. Typically, I thought that they were where pretentious people talked about pretentious things to nobody in particular, because the internet community at large tends to not really give two fucks about what pretentious people have to say. My stance has softened somewhat, since now I've found that I can use this blog as a vehicle for posting my
