Re: Why Don't You Write A Book?

Jason Preston — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 03:28:16 -0000

I feel the same way about sitting down to write something as long as a book. The problem is that I have some deep-seated desire to write one anyway, so I'm always stuck wanted to write a full-on book, and never (yet) having the discipline to get more than a third of the way through.

I seem to have no problem blogging, however. For some reason little bits every day works just fine for me.

ps. I hope you found that Fish Taco.

Re: Penny Arcade Expo! Will you be there?

That's alright dude, I'm not sure how quickly this commenting system is going to move along anyway. I just had trouble logging myself in to leave you a response. If I switch back to the old system, you can ask for your password back by going to a link. Email me if you need the link.

Also, any chance those unusable three day passes are for sale? I might be able to find someone to buy it off you...

No problem man, I love this game so much I could never see it go. Thanks for the tip on error 3!

Re: Silly image borders

Jason Preston — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 18:44:25 -0000

That should solve it for the header, but I still have to figure out how to fix the images in my posts and in my sidebar.

I'll try that on the header though, thanks!

Re: Silly image borders

Jason Preston — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 18:45:25 -0000

It might do it, but I'm looking to find a cleaner solution if possible.

Re: A Birthday Gift To My Feed Readers

Jason Preston — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 14:03:09 -0000

Google reader does indeed show a working link, but I think I'd rather land on the blog page than on a disqus thread page. The post is rendered funny and scribbles off the side of the page halfway through.

Happy Birthday Fred!

Re: X-OOM allows movie playback on the Wii, but it seems really clunky to me

Jason Preston — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 18:40:40 -0000

We all pick up horrible habits in college. It's all those pesky professors. I suspect that's what caused the bad sentence.

More importantly...it's actually news to me that you have to pay a licensing fee to support DVD as a playback format. I always figured fees went on the production side for some reason. That would explain things, certainly.

Re: I’d say Steam botched the BioShock release

My decryption went alright - took about a minute and a half total, maybe it has something to do with CPU speed as well, I'm running on a brand new rig.

Jason Preston — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 03:24:02 -0000

Yeah I hope it's as sweet for the 360 as it is for my computer. I can't play smoothly with all settings cranked ATM, but even when I cut some of it back it looks f*#$cking gorgeous.

Re: I’d say Steam botched the BioShock release

Jason Preston — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 14:58:46 -0000

:( To be honest though I'd have been a bit surprised if it ran. Is there an HL2 demo you can try, or have you run anything via Steam on WINE yet?

Re: The number one most important aspect of a computer game

Jason Preston — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 02:40:44 -0000

It's the kind of thing that I think could be easily fixed. It's not a "problem" per se, it's just like they didn't bother to calibrate the mouse. it's way funky in the menus if you cut the sensitivity down to something that's useable in-game, but...

it just feels wrong. It's like the mouse responds the way a gamepad would, which defeats the purpose of the mouse in the first place...

How does it run on the MBP? I've only installed it on my beastie (HDD space...)

Re: A great idea for cell phone stores

Jason Preston — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 03:33:48 -0000

Well, theoretically yes, although, for example, Apple charges you a re-stocking fee for returning an iPhone.

Also, it feels wrong. It feels like a sale. It should really feel like a trial period.

Re: A great idea for cell phone stores

Jason Preston — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 02:02:45 -0000

All this is running through my head since it's coming up on time for me to grab a new phone. I'm tempted by the blackberry and the iphone. And if the rumors are true...maybe the gphone...

Tell me about it...especially with all the stuff going on @ work right now, I'm swamped.

Re: I’m declaring a no Bioshock spoiler zone

Jason Preston — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 16:58:43 -0000

Thanks man, I might do that. Right now I'm having so much fun hacking things I'm just running around doing that all the time ;) - best mini-game EVER.

Thanks Jim, I had fun!

Sometimes you gotta just go with the inner-geek ;)

Re: Master Chief n Me

Jason Preston — Thu, 30 Aug 2007 20:40:36 -0000

That's the spirit!

In all seriousness, it was basically one huge nerd party with tons of schwag and unreleased game demos. If you can embrace your inner geek for long enough, it's a definite win.

Re: I’m curious about your gaming habits

Jason Preston — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 03:29:28 -0000

Haha, fair enough.

It's the time I'm REALLY interested in, not the reason (can I do html in these? I haven't tried yet) ;)

Re: I’m curious about your gaming habits

Jason Preston — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:14:53 -0000

Yeah, I tend to split my gaming time into chunks as well, so even I can't really accurately answer my own poll ;)

It's still interesting to see because I think the majority of my audience probably consists of people with "real jobs," and therefore have to take their gaming time when they can get it (45 minutes at a time).

Completely unscientific, but still interesting.

lol, I almost didn't read the comment, just in case ;)

Thanks Tinu!
