Not Actual Box Art

Not Actual Box Art

Recently, I purchased the game 3D Dot Game Heroes, for the Playstation 3. It’s billed as a love note the the 8bit adventure games of yore, and that’s probably the best description that can be had for the game.

The plot is straight out of The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past: A long time ago, there was a big bad guy who did big bad things. Six smart, wise guys got together, and trapped him in a parallel world of his own creation a glowing Orb. Some wizard has sucked up to the king, stolen the Orb, and plans on unleashing the power of the Big Bad. It’s up to you, who just happens to be the direct descendant of the Previous Hero, to save the world.

Sound familiar? Sages are called Scholars, Dungeons are Temples, but otherwise it’s all very much in line with what we know and love. Which, in my opinion, is a great thing. Read the rest of this entry »

*Not an iPad

For two weeks now, I’ve been an iPad owner. I’m sure you’re all tired of hearing about the device – trust me, so am I – but I’m gonna blog about it anyway.

It’s my blog, I’ll do what I want. :p

What can I say? I’m weak. I bought one today.
Have to say that so far I’m not really feeling any sort of regrets with this purchase. It’s doing everything I would want it to do, and it’s already gotten more use this afternoon than my laptop had gotten all month.
Would I recommend one for everyone? No, not yet. There are still some issues, like lack of really good native apps, but otherwise it’s nearly ready for the normal user.

Hopefully in the coming week I’ll be able to crank out a review of the device, as well as some thoughts on iBook vs Kindle. We’ll see.

Btw: This post? WordPress for iPad.
The keyboard is so win.

When the hell did this happen? When did we, as a society, decide to drop the “e” from the word axe? How the hell long has this been going on, and why was I not informed?

Ax? Really? Is that a word we actually want to use? It looks wrong, too short and, well, kind of silly.

I’m sorry, people, but I refuse to go along with this insanity.

Star Trek Las Vegas 2009 Convention Debriefing

Summary:

Last week (sorry about the delay!) I spent four days at the Star Trek Las Vegas 2009 convention.

That’s four days of Star Trek, Star Trek stars and Star Trek fans. Four days of wandering the same halls, looking over some of the loot, and generally being surrounded by folks geekier than I am.

Four days of awesome.

This year was actually a bit mellower than previous conventions – they had fewer folks on stage on any given day, but made up for that by giving them a bit more time to do their thing. This time was greatly appreciated, as it gave the cast time to open up and really get into things. As always, I would have preferred just a bit more time for some of them (Frakes and Dorn, in particular), but I’m not going to be too picky. Any time is better than no time.

Full breakdown follows. Read the rest of this entry »
