If you think about it, two weeks isn’t that much. I have enjoyed the game thoroughly, although I have found some incongruities with the storyline. This is essentially a problem of making a game with a non-linear story and mainly one that I have thought about a lot since I don’t feel I should say anything negative about something unless I have some sort of s...

Her: Thanks, She's been playing piano for a few years. Me: She's really good. Her: You should put your daughter in piano classes too. It's great for them. Me (slightly distracted): Nah, I'd prefer it if she could kick a guy in the face and have it come out his asshole...whoops, sorry Her:... In my defense, it is a way more applicable real world skill. ... Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:41:29 -0500 http://www.velocipeter.com/single.php?pst=437 http://www.velocipeter.com/single.php?pst=437 ...

It has a calendar, clock and all the standard widgets. It also has internal meters for your computer. I put on the one that tracks CPU usage because it looked really computer like. So I didn't think much of it, after a while I got used to looking at it while programs were starting and had a visual sense of what the processors should be doing at any time. Last week I noticed that one processor was over 80% all the time. I did what any super computer user...

A Jidokan is basically a community center with more stuff for kids. Namely, space to run and scream. ...

The ones that seemed to stand out were Skyrim and Deus Ex, then to a lesser extent LA Noire and Portal 2. What is funny is that all of these games have been sitting on my unplayed shelf since November. So my games of the year aren't goin...

Sat, 31 Dec 2011 05:47:19 -0500 http://www.velocipeter.com/single.php?pst=430 http://www.velocipeter.com/single.php?pst=430 I am a married man with children. This means there are certain ugly realities I must face, like getting life insurance, which is actually just death insurance, which is a payout for my family if I die. Fair enough, let’s be realistic. I live in an area with a lot of old people who drive like maniacs. They have been driving the same back roads their whole life and they think they know the roads so well they can drift the corners. They do know the roads really well, they just don’t know if I am wa...

I wanted to stay and watch it until completion, but that would be about as creepy as secretly taking a picture of him. ...

I don’t really surf the internet any more as most of the sites I read regularly are done through an RSS reader. The only other site I actually visit is reddit so i can get a dose of something else. Since I am going through my reader to clean out the sites that have withered and died it makes sense to post some of my favorites here so you can a) read them as well and b) you can make recommendations to improve my life.

The number that represents the achievements that get doled out every time you do something the developers consider important enough to make an achievement out of. I just finished Crysis last night and there was an achievement for killing 400 enemies and at least one for every level completed. The honest answer is that I don’t care, but then I realize that isn’t 100% true. You see, I read the achievements and look for t... Wed, 30 Nov 2011 10:33:20 -0500
