Basic Truths from College so Far

I've found 2 things to be true about Flagler so far. One is that I'll always, ALWAYS have to write about marijuana legalization. Thankfully, by writing and talking so much about it I've sorta become an expert on the whole deal. But I'll welcome a semester, even a summer semester, where I don't have to write about that business.

Second, Flagler follows the "Amusement Park Rule". Where the people in my classes for the first semester I had will be the same people I see every year, every where (just like the people you see at the ticket line at Disney will be at every ride and every restaurant). The sad thing is that so far there's been at least 4 people I've had in 3 or 4 classes and they still don't know who I am.

Other than that there's really no new news to report on. Things churn like they always do, finished an intro to Final Cut movie edit project, Team Fortress 2's spy video is flippin awesome, Auto-tune the News makes me laugh every time I watch it, and I can officially say that Twitter has changed my life. Twitter gives me all these great updates on great people and is starting to show me that if you media whore yourself out enough anyone can be famous these days (Perez Hilton, iJustine... lookin' at you two).

Anyhow, figured I'd update for updating's sake, more to come later. Hopefully it'll knock your socks off.

Wacky times

Poor neglected blog. I'll probably have to post sparingly on this until my time frees up a little from adjusting from summer classes and whatnot. Also, I was lucky enough to receive an invitation to participate in an MMO beta that rhymes with Hampions Monline, so while I can't talk about the ins and outs of that, I'll be a little busy nonetheless. More to follow, hopefully this afternoon.

Old is the New New!

Ready to take a whole new generation for a ride!

Quick post for tonight. Even though billion dollar companies are actively trying to find new aspects of my own childhood to sell back to me, I keep eating it up. Case in point: most of the XBLA titles. Sure there's a lot of great innovative stuff being produced independently like Castle Crashers or Braid, the people at the top know the real money comes in that backlog that's just collecting dust. Also, they're totally right. Unlike movie remakes, some of this stuff I actually want to see and play, especially when the system of origin died a long time ago. So please, gaming corporate overlords, give me more of the same and make it HD and Live compatable!
