Happay Mommay?
By So Technorati is going totally nuts and reporting links that aren’t there. For example, it tells me that this woman linked me twice today, which is a nice trick since she only posted once, and that post did not link anywhere. (This is clearly a fluke. I’m sure there are no links here from that site.)
But what’s REALLY freaking me out as I sit here in a 4a.m. insomnia-induced daze, is that the photograph on the left side of her site looks almost exactly like my son. It’s very odd to visit the blog of a total stranger and see a picture of my own son, looking the way he did about 18 months ago, wearing clothes he’s never owned.
I really should get some sleep.
LATER: I did. It still freaks me out.
Could Have Been Great
Here are four games that could have been much better with just a little more work.
Spoiler Warning:
Fallout New Vegas
At last, a game that merges the dark humor and depth of Fallout 1 with the modern gameplay of Fallout 3! Too bad it's so buggy.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
PC Gaming Golden Age
It's not a legend. It was real. There was a time before DLC. Before DRM. Before crappy ports. It was glorious.
Tenpenny Tower
Bethesda felt the need to jam a morality system into Fallout 3, and they blew it. Good and evil make no sense and the moral compass points sideways.
Internet News is All Wrong
Why is internet news so bad, why do people prefer celebrity fluff, and how could it be made better?
Better get Akismet. It looks like the comment spammer that has been hitting me has just found you. Actually, as few as are getting through, I suspect you already have it operating, but just in case, I thought I’d recommend it.
hmm, well, sorry, no need to be paranoid, I’ve never been here before and doubt I will ever come again. I only came here because you came to my site. Trust me, I’ll never link you.
