Starry Expanse released their demo. You can download it for Mac, or Windows (32 or 64). I haven’t had a chance to install it, but probably will on my next day off.
[H]ardOn Forum
I read [H]ardForum all the time for reviews and opinions on the best tech you can get. Thanks to them in fact I went with things such as the Logitech G500 and the ATH-AD700 headset. When it comes to hardware these guys know their stuff. Then occasionally these threads take place.
They’re discussing this article about “making room for women in gaming” and whenever these articles take place they begin to think with their heads… not their heads.
In their mind, women are treated equally in gaming and are never ever targeted any differently. Plus women are just pansies because they demand equality with more benefits. Here’s an example:
Part of the problem is the GIFT (Greater Internet F-ckwad Theory)–some people are exceptionally nasty online and express themselves in ways that resonate very negatively with females. That is, what passes for normal trash-talk among males, e.g. “Imma rape you with this BFG9000 and shove it up your ass,” isn’t received the same way by female gamers.
I don’t think that’s the rape ladies are bothered with… rather I think they’re bothered with the ones that yell something along the lines of “they’ll come find where they live”, or instantly turn it into an open sex chat because after all… all women are whores. But that’s ok, using the logic in the thread I’m sure guys like to have voice chat sex in game all the time too.
Oh well. Good thing women don’t read [H]ardForum. 🙂
The zombies brought forth their forsaken gifts.
Today we had a gigantic line of people returning at least a quarter of what we sold within the last month… I had to get returns every 25 to 30 minutes, consistently. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish the last one. I’ll probably have to take care of it tomorrow morning. When I left we insanely busy. Gotta love Geriatric Tuesday. 🙂

If you get emotional over a piece of clothing to the point of crying because it’s beautiful… you have problems.
Post Christmas Open Thread
Hope everyone had a nice calm Christmas. Mine was a refreshing one. Quiet, stayed in and slept, and made one of my 1 TB drives dedicated to Steam. I was inspired by the latest sale, and what friends gave me. 😉
I can go to work today and dread all of the returned gifts that people weren’t satisfied and rejoice in the fact that I don’t have to worry about this season for another year.
Facebook makes people fat.
Of the 470 participants asked, those who used Facebook the most had reportedly higher body mass indexes than those who were not as frequently engaged. Researchers additionally learned that binge eating was commonly associated with high involvement with the social networking site.
No wonder I’m healthy. 😀
Christmas Eve Open Thread
Busier than hell today at work. Lots of last minute shoppers wondering why in the hell they can’t find what they want and wonder why we don’t have anything… what are the odds? :O
