I think K.K. Slider knows all about that.

Have I mentioned that I have a genuine Mona Lisa? Or "Famous Painting," whatever?

Colin sent that to me. Colin also sent Clark this King Tut mask...

Which, which caught in a pitfall, sort of looks like the Boy King is rising out of the ground. Clark got a kick out of that. Zombie humor, ar ar.

Had another Tony visit. late Saturday night. We both made crazy amounts of money selling our crappy native fruit in each other's town.

Awkward conversations abounded.

We were actually supposed to spend Saturday at Josh's real-life animal house, but the snowstorm forbade. Mother Nature hates Game Nights.

Knowing the blizzard was coming, on Friday Tony put out a half-hearted push for Josh to quick buy Animal Crossing. Josh put out a full-hearted rejection.

I don't think this is the best way to go about convincing Josh to get the game.

Just about the worst reason to push an app update ever

Really? That's all? You couldn't hold that slight alteration for some future, functionality-based update? That is abusing the privilege, sir.

More great Fatal Frame 4 pictures
Sunday / 02.07.10 / 12:59AM / Joe / comments: 0

I wish somebody had thought to make these photos export to the SD card. How can game devs ignore something so blindingly obvious. The Wii is stuck in such a terrible position: the vast majority of Wii owners has no idea what it can do, and the vast majority of Wii game makers never bother to leverage all it could do. So in the great arms race between the Wii and the PS3 and the 360, the Wii comes off even worse. The Wii has a dead-simple mechanism for sending photos to friends (even if the method for identifying friends is embarrassingly flawed), and yet very few games utilize it.

I love this shot of an angry Ayako. As Rougetsu Hall's resident problem child, her backstory is one of the best-remembered moments of the game for me.

No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle Bizarre Jelly 5 (YouTube)
Straight from No More Heroes 2, here's the opening to anime parody Bizarre Jelly 5! I uploaded my own version of this, but this video is much better.

WarioWare D.I.Y. Has Made Me A User Generated Content Convert (Kotaku)
This is my next big thing, I can feel it.

Wrap it up (Brainy Gamer)
"Gears of War is pitched at the 15-year-old who thinks he's playing an adult game; No More Heroes targets the adult who's got a hormone-addled 15-year-old lurking inside, farting at a funeral." Brilliant!

Some old boxes I just threw out
Wednesday / 02.03.10 / 08:35PM / Joe / comments: 0

We're building a room in our basement. We're not, but it's happening anyway. When it's done, the "den"-type room that holds the iMac, college couch, and my very best books and games will all go into this new "den"-type basement room with the rest of my books and games. The not-as-good ones.

Then we get two kids' rooms upstairs. One for each.

Unfortunately, in order to get somebody besides yourself to build a room, you have to first clean out the area. So this weekend we emptied 80% of the basement (one wing will remain unfinished), and I found some great old technology boxes that I finally sent off to recyclers and dumpsters unknown.

Man, what a lot of box for a mouse! Sure, the Apple // mouse was built like a brake pedal, but it didn't need that much foam and cardboard.
