Are you fucking serious?

So… OculusRift got bought out by Facebook.

Never in my life would I ever think to hear the words “John Carmack works for Mark Zuckerburg” in one sentence. Yep! The Oculus Rift project has been bought up by Facebook. So I guess now you’ll be able to VR Farmville, and maybe John Carmack will bring DooM to facebook! Oh god… The entire internet is in an uproar about this right now.

“Mobile is the platform of today, and now we’re also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow,” Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg says. “Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate.”

Suddenly the Sony Equivalent is looking a tad nicer.

Are you fucking serious?

In a world where companies eat each other.

For awhile I was contemplating joining blip.tv to get away from YouTube’s ever changing stupidity. But then they were purchased by Maker Studios which is a YouTube owned company. Now Maker Studios has been purchased by none other than Disney, who can’t seem to stop purchasing things like LucasArts and Marvel Comics.

On that note I wonder what the next starwars will look like. Will Goofy play Jar Jar Binks? Will the lightsabers have googly eyes and sing inspirational songs? And what about Marvel Comics? Maybe Donald Duck will become an XMen and Deadpool will grow Mickey Mouse ears.

What a way to start the day!

Remember how I said I didn’t know my schedule? Well, looks like I didn’t have the slightest idea (aside from knowing my days off were split). They rewrote it apparently and didn’t say anything. Thought I was supposed to go in at 3pm today and it turned out I was supposed to be there at 2pm. Luckily I was already awake today when they called. So I didn’t have to jump out of bed and leave in a huff.

I have the day off today. Wonder what I’ll do. 😛

Sunday Morning Open Thread

Went for a walk today. In sunlight! :O It was a bit brisk but at least it was sunny. Got all my clothes and cosmetics laid out for the week. Been drinking some nice red loose leaf chai, listening to ACDC and writing stuff up for more YouTube pr0nz.

I haven’t put up my work schedule on the calendar yet because this week is going to be a little all over the place. They have been rearranging the schedules lately and from day to day I literally have no idea when I’ll be working.

So I have a tumblr now.

Well, for about a week anyway. I decided to make one so that I could access pictures to torture a certain tumblr whore friend of mine. Now that I have one I’m thinking I might use it for syndicating my videos, and random SFM pictures that I’d like to share that might be for steam, like maybe works in progress for videos, or nonsensical things like this:

New Idiots Of Garrys Mod!

I remember back in 2006 when my friend Yutram shared random videos from a Source modification called Garrys Mod. Thanks to him and another friend BAD I would later on not only buy my own copy of Orange Box and Garrys Mod, but would be completely absorbed into said universes. ICTON made a new gmod machinima recently with some old and new mixed in, and I have to say they haven’t lost their touch at all.

Big picture is AWESOME

Calling it an early night tonight since I’m going in early for work later today. I did take the time to make a nice bowl of mango salsa and test out big picture on the big screen TV. Everything went with flying colors! I even got out my controller and played a few games using it (like Fez, Mortal Kombat and a few others).

When I got home from work we even kinda did a family TV night. Watched some adult swim stuffs from their website. Looked perfect. So far this HTPC idea is working quite nicely. I might have to invest in a wireless controller just so I can chillax on the couch and pretend I’m on an XBox… only like 100 times more awesome.
