Geek UnBound III

I officially signed up for Gamefly today. My first video game is on the way. I figured this would save me some bucks in the long run. I tend to play a game anywhere from 2-4 times, I beat it once or twice and then I move on. It then ends up in a box lonely and forgotten. [1]like an old trick Regardless of the console, games run 50-60 bucks a pop new and that freaking adds up! I have roughly 10-15 games. That puts my expenditure just on games around $800.00! Holy HELL!

With Gamefly, I opted for 1 game at a time which is $16.00 per month. Thats under $200.00 a year. BIG difference. lol Plus, all the reviews I read from gamer buddies gave them high marks for service and resale on games. Even better, there is no contract so I can cancel anytime. Nice! The best part is I can try a game out before I buy it. Nothing worse than buying a hyped-up game and it turns out to be a big ole dud. [2]just like Manhunt?

Anyway, my first game arrives next week.

Bitter? Party of 1?

Catching up on the blogroll again, I see brettcajun has fallen victim to a drive by nasty gram. Lord knows, I’ve had my share so I feel for him. Sometimes, I think people do it just to get a rise out of him however, still doesn’t make it ok. Said folks, always anonymous, [1]or so they think are cowards in the simplest form. If you feel so strongly about something, have the balls to back it up with your name and/or email address. Leaving chicken shit comments w/o your name just makes you a pussy and invalidates anything you have to say.

I am reminded of a little sparring match Brett and I had via twitter about 2 weeks ago. We were discussing a philosophical difference in our approach to life. I got 3 different emails afterward asking if I was mad at Brett, kicking him off my blog, blah blah blah. Yes, it is true Brett and I sometimes disagree. Just as I have disagreed with other bloggers over the last few years. I am a grown man and if I can say it, I am willing to back it up. I can also strongly disagree with someone w/o resorting to name calling and other childish behaviors. If you read me with any regularity, you discover I speak my mind. That doesn’t change for people I know. And if your friendship hinges on my always agreeing with you, well I don’t wanna be your friend anyway.

My point is simple. Afford people the manners and common courtesy you would expect in return regardless of the communication medium.

Vid Bid 4

Just uploaded a quick vid. Nothing exciting. I was just bored and my fingers were greasy from pizza [1]yeah pizza. so figured it was a good a time as any to do a new vid.

This one is only about 6 megs. It does take a little bit for it to load once you hit play.

One of my twitter buddies pointed out my podcast link doesn’t work. Well, yeah that is pretty much true. I haven’t tweaked it since I lost the categories a while back so for now it is dead. I’ll get to it eventually.

Blog or Blog

I decided to switch from Windows Live Writer back to Post2blog. WLW is nice and functions well but, I don’t care for all the extraneous code it adds to the posts. As usual Microsoft screws up a great product with overkill.

Post2blog isn’t as polished as WLW however, it gets the job done and offers a few extra nifty editing functions. Best of all, it doesn’t add more html code than necessary. Simple, functional and best of all, free!
