2/11/2006 - Why I Suck.
Okay, here's what's been going on lately. 1: Been working on big new secret thing, Fol and I will show you very soon (assuming it's done, and I so very hope it is.) 2: Been trying to make my computer awesome-fast, and i'm starting to realize maybe ol' Lucy needs some upgrades (Namely, RAM and video card) 3: Bought the Penny Arcade Book, absolutley awesome (I never knew that the cat had a name, or that there was one comic where Tycho was drawn as a radish in punishment for not buying Gabe a new Dreamcast), and not long after heard that the card game was out. On the homepage, Tycho linked to an email address from Sabertooth Games that you could ask for free decks from. Knowing how popular PA is, I figured they would be swamped with requests for free stuff, but decided to put my name in anyway. I was kind of a dick about it too, since it was like 6 AM, but I recieved this email when I came home from school; "Greg, I'm sure you'll be ready [to purchase] after you play a few games =) Cards are on the way. Josh" At this point, I quickly replied. "Sorry to clog up your inbox, but I just wanted to say that you are an infinitely awesome guy, and I thank you so much. I realize now that my previous email may have been a bit mean, even aggressive, but I apologize. You have to understand, it was like 6 in the morning or something. Once again, thank you. Also, because of this awesome gesture of kindness, you pretty much have me not only as a one-time purchaser of the Penny Arcade decks, but also as a lifetime customer now who is going to tell everyone I know about this (unless, of course, the cards are made out of pure rat poison something. This is why I needed the demo decks!) Again, thank you so much! " He emailed me back letting me know that the game would be available in stores, and that I would be welcome as a playtester. That's sweet. I did buy the decks, and i'll let all of you know how it plays compared to other games, and if it's made out of rat poison. I'm power excited! 4: Found this amazing show called "The IT Crowd", on BBC. It's hilarious, and probably one of the best geek-comedies i've seen, and it's only four episodes in. "What are you doing?" "Just enjoying this cup of tea! *heartily laughs at tea*." And every episode comes out online a week before it airs on TV, which is amazing. Unfortunatley, the Beeb loads it up with DRM, meaning you can only watch it in Windows Media Player, and it's only available to the Brits. Fortunatley, there are ways around that... Also, i'd like to point out the Flying Spaghetti Monsterism sticker behind Moss's desk. 5: The idea of a Caffeine Nap intruiges the hell out of me. 6: Uninstalled Google Desktop because of privacy concerns. I realize I may be trusting Google a little too blindly. Still love almost everything they do, though. Google, will you be my valentine? 7: OHMYGOD ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT IS SO GOOD HOW CAN PEOPLE LIVE NOT WATCHING IT I WILL NEED TO STAB YOUR EYES OHMYGOD ITS SO GOOD AND MY SHIFT KEY IS BEING ABUSED YOU NEED TO DO EVERYTHING YOU CAN TO KEEP THIS SHOW AROUND!!!!111one 8: Tons and tons and tons and tons of drama. Nothing anyone needs to worry about, but if you keep track of the LJs, you have some grasp of the situation. 9: I...I guess that's it, really. See? I swear, we're really busy with something, we haven't forgotten about the blog, i'm going to update more as soon as i'm done with what we're working on. Promise. //Greg::2:41 PM EST\ # | |
