PS3 has arrived

... and I'm posting from it now.

Mother to BE!!!

I'm SO EXCITED!!!

I just placed an order for my PLAYSTATION 3 / Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle!!!

2 controllers
80 Gigs

And Solid Snake...



I think I just swooned.



And, yeah, it is a fact -- Metal Gear Solid is a system selllaaahhhh!!

Stupid Hard Levels!

I so need a PS3, as if MGS4 wasn't enough of a reason.

Steve Jobs looks like Skeletor

Someone feed this man. It's sad to watch him hobble around stage with sagging clothing and a rickety frame.

They need to come up with, you know, an Apple to feed people with.

iApple? It grows on trees. Comes in three colors. Canary Yellow. Mustang Red. Vegan Green. Also, it has a GPS transmitter in the seeds so your friends can track your location until the seed passes from your system. Then your friends will just be confused that you're trapped in a bathroom stall, leading some to wonder if you're belimic (or really kinky). You can twitter by farting.



... and I so need work to provide me with an iPhone with 2.0 software. But considering I have to fill out a form to justify the business need for a laptop, I somehow doubt it. I'm surprised I haven't been issued the standard issue slide rule, yet.


This product lackey is trying real hard to have the Jobs pacing in his speech. It comes off a bit pompous. Or is that the standard Apple aire? I sometimes can't tell :)

But it's kind of exciting looking toys, these APIs and such. Now to come up with an app that I feel like making for the iPhone.

I wonder if Steve is eating a cookie while this guy talks.

I have to LOL with his monotone voice wrt Super Monkey Ball. He's so, I'm not a gamer but I'll put up with these dorks, whatever.


Oh look, they have social networking butt-seeds with loopt. Just wrap it in nutrition!..!...?

Pissed off used car salesman is back on stage..

Yeah, TypePad.. I love the subject and content. Way to acknowledge the fact typing on an iPhone is really irritating. WoW. Yum.

The AP guy has a really cool voice. But, in some way, it's kind of eerie.. like.. he could do narrations to horror movies... and the app is so going to feed my news obsession.

Not one.. but TWO games!

Oh, Apple, please stop rubbing it in..

Woo.. water... racing.. hm.. meh..

!!!

'Band' is the shizzle.

!!!

If I was into baseball, the MLB thing looks hawt.


The medical apps are pretty neet, too.

The other game.. eh.. not too bad, either. I think the touch controls would actually be really irritating for an action/platformer.


Skeletor's back!


hmm.. the App store seems cool for devs. hmm....


mobile-me... ehhh.. I never used .mac anyway, so, bleh zzZZzzz... ugh, fast forward.. zzZzz...


iPhone 3G -- close! Too bad it's still AT&T based. I'll stick with Wi-Fi on my iPod touch and not have to worry about crap-ass AT&T "service".

Yay for GPS, brilliant

The reduced price point is getting there.. again, it's the AT&T problem. I can't wait until this goes T-Mobile. I'll wait.


Thank goodness this thing is over. I was sleeping through part of it. I hope next year's is more fun.

So anyway...

Let's see.. a little update...

In the realm of car drama, the folks finally got around to fixing my sat radio. So it works now, finally. Awesome! However, in the process, they cracked the wood paneling (again). Also... in my sheer stupidity I had them add in an iPod adapter, only to find out the adapter doesn't work with an iPod Touch, thus rendering it basically useless. (I guess I can use my old iPod, but that's a little ghetto). Also.. they drilled a bigger hold in the back of my glove compartment to run the wiring so it just looks like pure ass. I'll have to pick up my own plastic stopper thingie to just make it look right.

All in all, typical shoddy workmanship. Why am I not surprised? There's really no one to blame but myself.

Totally sucks.


Age of Conan has been released.

I played it on beta and couldn't get much past level 10. Mainly because I was so bored out of my friggin' skull and I thought the character animations/look were absolutely terrible. Frankly, I'll keep my abstract lookin' WoW to not even uncanny-valley, just straight up ooooglay avatars.

Yeah, I realize the gameplay is supposed to be different then WoW. And it is. Sort of. But not really to some revolutionary extent that I'm, pardon the pun, "WoW-ed" by it. And for another monthly subscription fee?

Meh.

I'd rather just finish getting my Vindicator set and getting my drood up to MT Kara-spec.

~ddd

My dad's passed away

In the vein of the internet... I've decided to post it, as the news came in. Perhaps out of therapy, or some such.

But, yea, the title says it all.

The Car

Ok.

So my Sirrius radio hasn't been working since, what, January? Well, I finally go to the guys in Roseville to have them take a look. As it turns out, they claim it's a manufacturer problem and will be giving me a new device at the end of this month, or next, whenever that firmware update, or what not, comes out.

Cool.

So I point to the passenger-side window roll-down button, and how it's all foobared.. and they're like: oh, sure, we'll fix that too.


And an iPod adapter?

Well, you pay for the hardware, we'll cover labour.

Hm.

So, mental note, bring in all of my invoices from diagnosing the "battery" problem to have them cut me a check for that.


And then yesterday, my Cellphone's out of batteries.. so I whip out my car charger and put it in... and it doesn't light up, or start to charge. Odd... so I put in the cigarette thing.. but it never pops out, so I have to dig it out with my nails.. but it's not even warm -- even after 30 minutes of sitting in..

So now I'm like: WTF???!!!!


I'm assuming this part has to be under a one year warrantee, at least... so back to the dealership in Stockton..

Sigh.

And what's so weird, is that it was working a week ago. And I watched what the guys in Roseville did to check out my car radio and I didn't see them do anything whack, soo...


Double-sigh.

And with my whack travel schedule for the next week...

I guess it'll be another 3-4 weeks until I can get the time to get it fixed.
