Recently I exclaimed that $video_game stokes the coals of my fury and makes me want to throw my $hardware through the wall. In response, I was asked, "If it's so frustrating, why do you play it?"
Now, this certainly isn't the first time I have come upon this question. And I am confident it won't be the last. But it is always something I have taken for granted in the absence of a cogent answer, which does not please me. So I would like to take this time to explore the issue in the time-honored and culturally rich tradition of the Ham-Fisted Metaphor.
( Metaphor GO )
"Some day it will be found out that peasants are people. Yes, beings in a great many respects like ourselves. And I believe that some day they will find this out too - and then! Well, then I think they will rise up and demand to be regarded as part of the race, and that by consequence there will be trouble." - MT

Samuel Clemens Quote of the Day:
"The last quarter of a century of my life has been pretty constantly and faithfully devoted to the study of the human race - that is to say, the study of myself, for, in my individual person, I am the entire human race compacted together. I have found that there is no ingredient of the race which I do not possess in some small way or large way... my private and concealed opinion of myself is not of a complimentary sort. It follows that my estimate of the human race is the duplicate of my estimate of myself." |

Also... you ever have two thoughts that you know lead to an inescapable conclusion, and you know what it is, but you never really bother putting them together in your mind and in this way avoid the force of that conclusion? While this idea has some earthshattering potential in certain contexts, today's is rather light.
For many years, I have been confident that I would love to play a 2D fighter over the internet, because I loved X-Band and now my 2D fighter skills are shit hot. And for several months, I have had such a game for my computer that boasts the best netplay of all. And I have only now put it together and investigated its potential. So far I have gotten the client working (which also lets you play against an AI that has watched and learned from tournament play >_>;) but now I need someone to play against, QQ. I suspect I will be learning IRC sometime soon...

Been off Warcraft for a week and I've already drawn six pages in my sketchbook. Really been neglecting it since around June but recently I've found the gumption to put the lead down. I even did some at work! I am particularly excited about this because the hours of downtime at the shop boast a mighty potential for Draw EXP if only I had the mettle to tap it. Please allow me to run with that metaphor.

Samuel Clemens Quote of the Day:
"Circumstance is powerful, but it cannot work alone; it has to have a partner. Its partner is man's temperament - his natural disposition. His temperament is not his invention, it is born in him, and he has no authority over it, neither is he responsible for its acts. He cannot change it, nothing can change it, nothing can modify it - except temporarily."

Several weeks ago I had a conversation about how fortunetelling, or more generally, prophecy, would conceivably work. I tried to weigh in with Mad Science, but the problem is that raw Mad Science is mostly abstraction and just comes off as hot air unless it is well tempered with reason and delivered with graceful language. So I believe I will think with my hands here.
Somebody point Ben at this. When I tried to explain it the first time, I failed resoundingly and he just looked at me like <:3

Today was my first day of answering phones at work. I have absolutely no prior experience in this.
It is my job to be smooth-tongued, as it pacifies the customer and facilitates the exchange of information. I stammered my way through the day well enough, until some gentleman caught me by surprise shortly before closing.
It is also my job to tank calls for the boss, because he is too busy to be bothered with every self-entitled client or solicitor who wants to speak to the man in charge. To inquire whether this man had a legitimate reason to see the chief, I literally asked him this: "wut busines u got."
I was as embarrassed as the others seemed amused. Doing a job for which I am unequiped is my waking nightmare - the pressure felt from the expectations of those who are depending on me is visceral. The rest of the evening was spent contemplating the meaning of "crash course." I look forward to the day that I can do my job by natural response instead of meticulously rehearsed mantra.

I recently finished reading Battle Royale, a novel about Japanese highschool deathmatch. Liked it, liked the movie too. *nodnod* I decided to go for some recreational reading; before I picked it back up, the last six books I'd read were technical manuals or some other stripe of textbook. Next up, Relativity theory - just some light reading.
2007 is a bad year for health, for me. Actually, there hasn't been a single day where I was completely well. That ear thing came and went, but now my throat is starting to fuck up, and my ass is absofuckinglutely killing me. If I assume a backward-slouching position or otherwise put any manner of pressure about my tailbone, then I am reamed beneath the lash of agony when that pressure is relieved. I don't know what it is. After I got sick - in March - my back got jacked when I ran on the trampoline, and it hasn't been the same since, even though I haven't used it in weeks. I should go to a doctor in September when will I have the money to spare.
Yesterday I got Immaterial and Missing Power from Santa Claus Ling. It's a 2D fighter inspired by Team Shanghai Alice's bullet curtain shooters, which I've been playing. I'm impressed with the way they fused the two entirely different genres; it's hard to explain, but neither one is really gimmick to the other. You are spamming bullets and weaving your witch through incoming fire, but you're also fisticuffing and blocking and such. And it has netplay!
Samuel Clemens Quote of the Day:
"I never could keep a promise. I do not blame myself for this weakness, because the fault must lie in my physical organization. It is likely that such a very liberal amount of space was given to the organ which enables me to make promises, that the organ which should enable me to keep them was crowded out. But I grieve not. I like no half-way things. I had rather have one faculty nobly developed than two faculties of mere ordinary capacity." |

"That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up journalism on their way to the poorhouse. I am personally acquainted with hundreds of journalists, and the opinion of the majority of them would not be worth tuppence in private, but when they speak in print it is the newspaper that is talking (the pygmy scribe is not visible) and then their utterances shake the community like the thunders of prophecy." |
