Sorry for the lateness. I’m was busy beating a wasp with a magazine. Then released it’s wiggling corpse back into nature. Those suckers are tough.
I’m working on Business Mathematics homework -_-
Wizard World Invaded

We had a good time at Wizard World. Even with it being somewhat of a small con, we tend to bring the fun with us so it always works out.
The tournaments and the artist alley were definitely the highlights of the con. Special shout-out to Chrissy from Dim Sum Yum who I swear is stalking us.
Awesomeness pics and video after the jump

Second Life meets the real world
Published on by pen | 0 commentsCategories: News, Second Life, Culture, Games
Looking through my daily newspaper this morning (The Washington Post, the 6th largest newspaper in the country with over 600,000 readers daily), I came across this comic in the Style section.
Now it makes me wonder. How many people actually understood this comic? And how many people looked at it, said “I don’t get it” and moved on. I saw it and was surprised that something I assume is so esoteric that not many people outside the genre would understand. I haven’t extensively been exposed to Second Life, but it’s almost alone the lines of the ‘World of Warquest’ in the comic ‘FoxTrot’. Like an inside joke amongst certain groups.
As the younger generations age, will the line between the internet and real life be blurred?
EndgameRadio Episode 146

This week we’re went a little crazy and talked about some indirectly-related-to-gamer-culture topics. The big Viacom Ninjas vs. Google Pirates lawsuit! Some discussion inspired by GDC discussion about user-generated content! And, of course the trinary holiday - Steak and BJ day, Pi Day, White day. We go off on some semi-rants about the future of user-created content, both related to the big lawsuit, and to games with large amounts of user-created create. Hollywood manufactures stuff to be consumed, where the internet creates things for the sake of creating things, and people enjoy it randomly.
The quote of the evening:
Hollywood is a restaraunt where you get peed on.

Nuggets of Pure Fiction

Ficlets may very well be the best thing to hit the medium of the written word since punctuation. Or it could be the worst thing for it since Erotic Versions of Star Trek Where All Characters Are Furries, Like Kirk is an Ocelot or Something, and a Furry Version of the Author as the Star of the Story. I can’t really decide.
If it’s any indication though, one of the most popular ficlets on the site right now is about Sushi Made of Kittens so I sense greatness in the future. I sense amazing metagame possibilities with this site, not to mention candidacy for invasion.
Procrastination Formula
Published on by Aaron Matthew | 0 commentsCategories: Theories, Psychology
U=EV/ID
Where: Desire to Complete Task (U) = Expectation of Success (E) * Value of Completion (V) / Immediacy of Task (I) * Personal Sensitivity to Delay (D)
Not my theory, but I’ll buy it. This theory comes from a psychologist who’s spent 10 years studying procrastination (or maybe 10 years putting off his eventual study and thesis on the subject, and a month working on it). “Real” Science doesn’t look much more professional than my style of Phở Science.

P.S. You may notice this article is from January. I guess I just kept putting off posting this.
