Actually found time to put on makeup to not scare anyone this morning. Even made my bed and packed a lunch.
What usually takes me a couple hours to write is turning to days.
This review I’m writing… Oh god, this is going to be huge. It’s like reviewing a fucking movie. It is a goldmine of awesomeness. But being the slacker that I am I ended up having to take a break from it, in TF2… Didn’t win anything but damn was it fun to get some silliness out of the way before bed. Which unfortunately it’s come to that…
mmmm BBQ
Dinner was great tonight. Though it was windy outside it didn’t stop us from having a nice charcoal BBQ’d steak. Hank Hill can go marry and fondle his propane and propane accessories for all I care. Charcoal r0xx0rz j0 b0xx0rz.
Google should buy valve? Hah!
I found this to either be an interesting point of view, or someone trolling on a summer day:

Valve is amazing but it’s too small, Valve needs a big boss to get its back while competing with other powerful game publishers like EA or Microsoft.
And it should be Google, because
1) Google is all about the internet which Steam shares;
2) Digital distribution of PC games is a remarkably potential market, and to my knowledge, Google has not started video game department, while it’s not sufficiently developed if it has. Owning Valve will bring them more and more money and break into the gaming industry with a great hit;
3) GFWL is a great platform which came up before Steam but still not fully developed, BUT we have to admit that GFWL is still very potential because it’s the only existing one which fully realizes the concept of cross-platforms. It’s powered by Microsoft and against Steam, Google is somehow against Microsoft in every field, so Google should get Valve’s back;
4) Since EA is expanding and threatening Valve, Valve needs its own firmly connected partners, relationship like Activision and Blizzard(also 2K and Rockstar) which are owned by one big group. This kind of relationship can not be accomplished by Valve itself for the time being.
Maybe it sounds ridiculous, Valve has been growing in amazing rate last few years and also I don’t think Steam would go down in years but I do think Valve is still not big or complex enough to sufficiently flourish in the future and Valve does need more support.
I agree with this in reverse. I think Valve should buy google. I seriously think it would do better.
I live another day!
Wasn’t a bad day at work. It was real long though. Someone had gone home sick and I ended up taking their place. At least my paycheck will be a little nicer than usual. Nothing exciting to report either. I purchased some work pants to replace some others I had thrown away recently. Might look into more shirts in the future.
Early Morning Open Thread (yes another open thread)
Last night’s rest was like an on and off switch. Randomly woke up, went back to sleep etc etc… At least I don’t feel very groggy. Didn’t really dream about anything though. Between these hour adjustments and warm nights (despite the rain and fog outside) I’ve been finding it hard to sleep properly.
Whelp. Time to go to the hole…
Open Thread
Spent some time today playing in after effects again. I have a nice opening intro for the next episode of YCDTOXB. Yep, new episode will be out next Friday. I’m working on it right now as I type this, sipping some flowery vanilla tea.
Hope everyone else is having a good day today.
Late Night Open Thread
Starting to feel a little better now. Think I’ll just stick to tea tonight. That reminds me by the way… I tried dry desert lime tea lately and have fallen madly in love with it. I even think it’s more refreshing than lemon tea. Tastes excellent hot or ice cold. It was definitely a nice purchase from the world market.
Why do I even bother…
Worked 8 hours straight, no lunch. Just two ten minute breaks (one 2 hours after getting there and the other one hour before getting off). It was too busy to take one and since we like to work. Understaffed as usual, I did as much as I could with my job and still couldn’t get it all done, had to help another person with their job because they were even further behind, and it didn’t help that I wasn’t feeling well nor could I get away to buy any advil to feel better until an hour before I had to leave. What happened today wasn’t anywhere near legal, but has to be put up with because it’s practically the only place around here that has any kind of benefits.
Again, it’s lovely working a non union job… Now if you excuse me I’m going to go sharpen a pencil and shove it in my eyesocket.
Goodnight Open Thread
Well folks. I’ll be on tomorrow afternoon or evening with a possible chance of getting wasted. Yay!
