But everything changes / if I could / turn back the years / if you could / learn to forgive me / then I could / learn how to feel
(Then we could) stay here together / and we could / conquer the world / if we could / say that forever / is more than just a word

I haven’t written a post in quite a long while. I need to remedy this situation.
Regardless if I can before next weekend, know that with my new laptop, I will be writing a lot more.

This has to be the geekiest comparison of anything to the human reproductive process ever.

The Purchase Brothers, although more known for their viral Coke commercial, ascended from obscurity to legendary status among the machinima community on YouTube with their best work yet, a short film known as Escape From City 17.
Combining the assets from Half-Life 2 and live action footage, this five and a half minute short is one of the most shining examples of fan fiction for the Half-Life...

It’s just like him / to wander off in the evergreen park / slowly searching for any sign / of the ones he used to love
He says he’s got nothing left to live for / and this time I think you’ll know
You’re not alone / there is more to this, I know / you can make it out / you will live to tell

In case you haven’t met me and wonder what this guy is all about and you don’t like Twitter for some stupid reason, I’ve got one of these things.

Perhaps the greatest Team Fortress 2 griefing video ever made. It brings tears to my eyes.
Long live Team Roomba!

I remember playing this final fight in Final Fantasy VI over and over again until finally—I got lucky enough to finish off Kefka. This YouTube video shows how the psychopathic clown can be downed in eight hits combined in one turn.
I feel this cheapens the experience of the endgame, no doubt, but it still it kinda cool that it’s possible.

The Internets and video games go hand in hand most of the time. Mario Paint is no exception. Here’s a Mario Paint rendition of Dragonforce’s “Through The Fire and The Flames”. This MIDI isn’t dead, just different.

Here’s a link to a test audio clip from the tumblr app on the iPhone. The recording time is rediculously low, so I think I may end up having to piece together several voice memos and splice them together to make the podcast I want.

How nuts am I about podcasting and tumblr? Nuts enough to make a new site for my amateur speaking gig or something along those lines.

It seems that the 2fort2furious folks are at it again, making videos on their YouTube channel. (Related: Where is FLOOR_MASTER run off too?!)
This time it’s not the Team Roomba spirit of griefing in Team Fortress 2. Instead, their focus has shifted to Left 4 Dead 2 exploits. This video demonstrates how valuable items can be moved to a prime spot in preparation for the Survival game mode. A...

I have an iPhone 3G and while I enjoy it and the functionality works for me (please check your BlackBerry fanaticism at the door) I find that the phone is becoming a distraction when I’m working at a full-featured computer, be it PC or Mac.
After all, I already get all of the email, SMS and tweets through the one device—why bother changing anything? The biggest reason I have to change...

It seems that Team Conan is going to lose after all. The latest update in the linked article from Deadline Hollywood suggests that Conan will be paid a penalty fee less than the contractual amount in addition to having his staff that moved to Los Angeles for the Tonight Show “taken care of”.
The article suggests that the settlement may be the end of NBC’s public relations...

A hilarious and witty TF2 machinima called “Toast (yeah, toast)”. It may use a bit of stop motion style cinematography, but it’s still high quality funnies even with the gag ending.

I am restoring the software on my iPhone 3G with the hopes that it will be a lot more responsive with the increase in free space.
I don’t use the iPhone as an iPod aside from using it as a podcatcher. I play games with it, use it to browse the Internet, use it to communicate, use it to tweet and tumbl with it, but outside of podcasts and Slacker Radio I haven’t had an use for the rest...

I suppose having a Wednesday night to myself is somewhat of a delicacy. Usually I spend it with the five other guys that make up my band, Laskin Rd., making music and practicing as our meetings dictate.
I look forward to traveling out of town to head over to music practice way too much during the week. Typically tonight would be a release of sorts.
I guess that was not to be. This week, anyhow.

Proof that perhaps the world of old was more carefree than the world of the present.

So, it seems that I have changed the theme yet again after the previous theme seems to not support the new question and answer mechanic in tumblr. Also: I have decided to throw in Discus comments, because I guess that’s the way things get done around here in tumblrland. I may or may not keep them on, but I’ll see how things go for now.

What a crazy turn of events this week has been.
Going from feeling hopeless about school to confident for a change is awesome. Having people to communicate with and actually miss seeing you is awesome. Experiencing some notable self-worth is awesome.
Generally, aside from the fact that I’m still jobless, I feel awesome about myself in the best ways.
Of course, there are still things that I need...

Religious conversations and Twitter don’t sound like they mix very well, but I apparently have found a way to make it work. One hundred forty characters maximum at a time.
I’m not the most knowledgeable about religion outside of Judaism, my religion, and Christianity, but having to explain all three of the Abrahamic religions so someone that operates was quite a different experience....

I wrote a post in DarkRoom with the intention of cutting and pasting from that program into a the “Add a Text Post” form on tumblr. Apparently, DarkRoom thought that cut meant delete.
I’ll come up with something cool to eventually put here, once technology stops breaking on me.

Why, hello there, tumblr. How have you been?
