24

24 hours into GTA4. Holy crap. So much to do. Such an experience. The wallhugging and CQC could be improved a little, but otherwise I'm quite pleased. Oh, and the music selection is REALLY weak. Like, you know how Rock Band picks out a lot of #2 hits from artists? Well, it's like GTA4 consists of #3 songs. There's nothing really there to stand out. Makes me wish for custom soundtracks. Oh that's right, Microsoft fucking PATENTED it. Wonderful. Software patents are such bullshit. They hurt the industry so much. I'm looking at you Namco and Sega.


Outside of that, I got the wireless Nyko Kama and it does its job. Great build quality and fits perfectly with their Perfect Shot. Tried it with House of the Dead 2 +3 Return and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

I ordered the Widow Maker Bass Guitar from the Ant Commandos for Rock Band and Guitar Hero 3. I'm excited. It seems to have great build quality and universal compatibility. I can't wait for Activision and EA to sort out their petty differences. I would have ordered their wireless mics, too, but they were out of stock, ON A PRE-ORDER. The Widow Maker was a pre-order, too, so yeah...

Also put time back into DJ Max Portable 2 and Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice. I love my PSP so much.

A game-filled post, appropriate in name dropping enough for the length of time?

Bottom line is that GTA4 is everything it was hyped up to be. Even the special edition worked out well. (I wish I could have said the same for Spider-Man 3's)

Black Friday 2008

At one Fry's last year, the police had to come. The manager came out around 5AM or so, about an hour before opening, and told everyone to condense the line as it wrapped around the store more than once. So rather than do it calmly, it caused this huge surge of people leaving a ton of shit behind, people in tents getting fucked over and a whole bunch of jazz. Understandably, the line DID compress greatly, as people were now excited, however, it was about 5-6 people deep. A giant mess, really and somehow I ended up near the front because of how deep it was. Then, to counter-act this, I SHIT YOU NOT, the manager got on the megaphone and said "If your hand isn't touching the wall, you're out of line." At that point I went pale. I was against the wall, next to a small mother and her child. I had to brace myself because a shitload of people were pushing against us and would surely crush them. A few metal shopping carts got torn apart, one car got wrecked, the railing...

Been using twitter a lot lately. http://twitter.com/m3wthr33 Also, Google Reader. Once you get the RSS link for your favorite news sites, you don't need anything else. It tracks articles you read, has keyboard shortcuts and you can even share with friends. It's pretty nuts. And playing a shitton of music games. Got platinum in Rock Band 2 and it feels so good. Now working on Guitar Hero Metallica . I don't think I'll get platinum, but I'll do my best to play every song on every instrument and get as far as I can. There's a handful of trophies that VERY VERY few people have got. Also getting back into Fallout 3 now that Broken Steel came out, and rasied the level cap. Playing Operation: Anchorage and enjoying the change in scenery and gameplay so far. Although it's painfully obvious the engine isn't made for heavy action. I'll post more now, but seriously, Twitter and Google Reader are where it's at for me now. Still thinking of redesigning this ...

Media Monkey

I love Media Monkey. It's a great way to organize files. Anyways, the auto-organize is the best feature, but of course we all have our own tweaks. H:\MEDIA\MUSIC\$if(<Album>,$if(<Type><>mp3,$if(<Genre>=Christmas,iTunes Xmas Music\,iTunes\),$if(<Genre>=Christmas,Xmas Music\,Albums\))$if(<Label>,#<Label>,<Album Artist>)\<Album>\$if(<Disc#>,$if($len(<Disc#>)<2,<Disc#:2>,<Disc#>) - ,)$if(<Track#>,$if(<Special>=Over100,<Track#:3>,<Track#:2>) - ,),No Album\)<Artist>$if(<Feat.>, feat. <Feat.>) - <Title> That, my friends, is my sorting script. It's made to filter out Christmas music, iTunes files and any special sorting tags. I also have rules for leading zeroes on albums over 100 tracks (Well, 100 OR over, but I'll tweak that later). I also strip out 'featuring' in the title or artist, because it pollutes the artist list with unneeded duplicates,...
