Jul. 19th, 2011 01:04 pmI've been gone for a few weeks, and it feels like it's been a month.
A few things I learned while I was away from the internet:
1. Trying to browse the internet on the PS3 has been awarded "honorable mention" in the "seven circles of hell" awards. Seriously, what the hell is wrong with Sony? Why would they hire NetFront as a browser developer? Couldn't they just go with Chrome? Couldn't they have just NOT BOTHERED?
2. I might not be very good at FPS multiplayer, but I am a fucking monster at online racing games. And I usually have the sexiest car on the track. Man, what I wouldn't give for a game like Need for Speed: Underground or Motorstorm: Apocalypse or even ModNation that kept the best part of the game (i.e, paint jobs, and custom parts), and got rid of the worst part (i.e, racing).
3. Donnie Yuen is fucking awesome.
4. Seeing my unborn child's ultrasound live and in person is even more awesomer.
5. When I can't get access to the internet, I make lists. And notes. and lists of notes, and notes about lists. Of course, these lists look like gordian knots now. whatevs...
i think the biggest thing i learned? the internet does not move nearly as fast as it used to. it used to be if i didn't keep up with what was going on, i'd be left in the dust within 48 hours. nowadays? a long time passes before anything of substance happens.
or maybe my priorities changed. i dunno.
