Went out for impromptu shopping with Nate after a doctor’s appointment. He was interested in getting a CodeBreaker/Gameshark/Action Replay so he wouldn’t have to go insane by grinding all the way to level 2000+ in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness, which he’s just recently begun playing again after some 3-4 years.
We found what we were looking [...]

So they’re firing up the large hadron collider (which I always say as “hardon” in my head, haw haw). Somewhere, in the back of my mind, I’m half-expecting a Half-Life sort of scenario akin to when you push the sample into the testing chamber array. Resonance cascades? Temporal rifts? Opening a gateway into a sub-dimension [...]

It seems my mouse might be on its last legs. For some reason, the left click tends to wonk out fairly often and even if I only click once, or hold it down, it will take it upon itself to automatically double click, which leads to frustrating results.
I’ve been having issue opening windows, programs, switching [...]

My PS2’s disc read error issue has gotten worse; I now cannot play ANY DISC that I put into the console, for gaming or otherwise. That sucks like nothing else, even though I have a DVD player that’s separate so I can still watch movies.
I now need to crack the sucker open and mess with [...]

If anyone tried to access any part of my site or a sub-site on the skogul.net domain in the last 48 hours and got a 404 error, that’s because I’m in the process of moving my operations to a new host.
I’d been with DreamHost for 2 years, and despite a few problems (none of which [...]

It’s true. Nothing gets me giggling aloud when I play a game more than absurd (and decidedly non-obtrusive) graphics glitches. If they impede my ability to enjoy the game, that’s another matter entirely, but so far these have just been wholly cosmetic.

In other news, the semester is now officially over and I’m making slow but [...]

Following on the mention of my days on Ragnarok Online in the last post, I’ve just discovered that iRO’s Sakray server will be shut down toward the end of next month.
I started out on iRO on Loki, but eventually made my home on Sakray. I met a lot of awesome people there and had some [...]

I picked up the His Dark Materials trilogy yesterday, with my nifty 20% off Borders coupon and a giftcard for the local mall left over from Christmas. I decided I should read something new, as I can only go through Dune so many times before I remember every line so vividly I can recall it [...]

Hello. My name is Asia and I’m addicted… to art supplies. Specifically pens and pencils. Throughout my childhood and adolescence, my favorite stores to browse when I went somewhere like a mall or shopping center were stationary and art supply stores… and within stores, I usually made sure to browse the electronics/video game sections (if [...]

During this semester’s mad rush to find all the necessary textbooks for less than the college bookstore would sell them (AKA rabidly browsing amazon and hoping to snag the lowest priced copy before someone else does), I came across a very interesting book…
The (New) Dinosaurs, by William Stout. It’s unusual in that, instead of [...]
