A few different things have happened in the last week or so since I last posted.
The girl who was in possession of the stolen cellphone I mentioned earlier, was arrested and the rightful owner got the phone back. Yay! Finally, something good happens and crooks weren't let free.
Louisana Governor signed a bill into law, prohibiting minors from buying rated M games (which in a way I have no problems with), but also had some verbage that would basically let a judge decide if something was too racy or inappropriate, and then have the game pulled from the shelves. That part is what pisses me off, especially when you concider how one sided the arguement some of the anti game lawyers (namely Jack Thompson) shows things and how uninformed the judges and legislators are. I was listening to LAGER and they were talking about Postal 2, and commenting on how its one of the most violent and bad games ever, however nearly everything bad in the game is the result of the person playing the game. Yes, you can shove a gun barrel up a cat's ass, shoot some muslims, and piss on their corpses on the way to get milk at the store, or you can just walk calmly to the store and get the milk and walk back. Most of the games that Thompson and his lackeys hate are of that nature. Just because something is possible in a game doesnt mean you need to do it, or that its required, however most of the government types won't see or understand that. Right now the ESA and other groups are contesting it, and a judge is trying to get it stricken down.
I've also been on a fairly big Doctor Who kick. Started watching some episodes of the new series, and its pretty good. Definitely diggin' it. Sucked up quite a bit of bandwidth getting the episodes though. If you can see the new Who, I recommend it.
Also, have been getting ebooks through stuff like Project Gutenberg, which is cool. Free books is always a good thing. Next up gonna see about a good ebook reader for my PDA, since I am accumulating quite a library now. Between my manuals, blueprints, books, etc I have like 3 gigs of stuff to read over.
The cars around here have been shooting craps right and left, which hasn't been pleasant. Right now, out of all the cars, only the cougar and suburban are running properly. Not good.
You know how sometimes, you think of really wild and crazy things? Today, I came up with Vaginoids, which is basically a Voltron style show, with some humor, and instead of lions, the ships are shaped like sex toys (primarily, an atomically correct female torso). Oh well, atleast I didn't make a Bat-strapon this time. I might try and do a small flash animation and put it up.
Speaking of such, ebaumsworld (no, I wont link to the fuckers), ripped off more shit from Albino Black Sheep. This time around, it is the animator vs animation flash cartoon. The creator specifically said he didn't want ebaums to post it, and then tried to include preventative measures to make sure that didn't happen, but ebaums decompiled it, removed some of the credits the cartoon had (to ABS), added in an ad (that they, and not the creator, get paid for when someone clicks), and mucked with the prevention code. What a giant jackass, in a way makes it disheartening, and drains the will to create things, out of fear people will steal it. And those familiar with ebaums, probably know that these tactics are common for them, as they steal other's work quite frequently, plus steal bandwidth and aid Denial of Service attacks on the competition. Makes me sick.
Well, thats all for now.
