Brief Ramblings

Bleh. I can't think of much to post, but I don't want to go without posting for so "long" again.
So... hm. Well, today I did a bunch of interface for the brand-spankin'-new Egoboo site. It's pretty sw33t so far, but right now it just has my buttons and icons. You can look at it here. While you're at it, why not download the latest version of the game?
Huge increases in traffic have been predicted, and not just by me. This is mostly due to the fact that the original site (the one that turns up first on Google searches) was merged with the current one, using the old one's address. More people will end up there, one would think, and the nice design should draw them in (none of the old sites were much to look at)-- not necessarily how it is now; it still needs work.

In other news.... Wait, what's in other news?
*grabs imaginary newspaper* Ah, that's right. Mitt Romney dropped out of the race today. Huge surprise to me, but I can't say I mind at all.
Also, Microsoft is trying to buy Yahoo!. Classic.
How about that writer's strike? Still on, I think. Want to know a secret? I don't care. It's not like a I watch much TV (Though MythBusters last night was cool. They broke a bunch of stuff. Again.). All the movies coming out this summer that I want to see don't seem to be suffering, since they were probably written in their entirety long ago (and the strike is primarily of television writers anyway). And there are maybe two video game writers in the guild, so I'm safe on that front too. Yes, video games do have very complicated stories. If you were willing to devote the time, I'd tell you to play through Final Fantasy VI, and you'd never say anything bad about the industry again, especially in regards to plots. That game is totally epic.
Speaking of which, I've noticed (mostly stuff on the Internet) that it's trendy to misuse the word "epic" nowadays. It's the new "awesome" or whatever. I don't even know that that many people know what it means. "Fail" and "Win" are very common too, in either one-word sentences or in the form "X=Fail/Win." Odd. Just like a small comparison I did in answer to a question in economics; it was concluded with "Thrift store= WIN." I'll let you use your imagination to come up with the rest. Don't spend too much time on that, though.

Hm. I feel like exploding things (I mean, exploding, as in a verb. I don't feel as if I am something that is exploding). I've been playing a lot of DS, which is big on strategy and RPG stuff. I could use more actiony games. I should really get Contra 4; I don't know why I haven't yet.
...Wow, even my computer is sadly devoid of explosive stuff. Not entirely, mind, but there's still not much. I think I should throw together a quick game tomorrow so I can blow stuff up. I'm thinking robots. And... lots of fire. And explosions, of course. And more explosions.

Anyway, I'm done for today. Sorry for the shortness. I'll maybe post some pictures tomorrow.
