    GEEEKDOM
    Thanks to a generous birthday gift from my grandfather combined with an excellent deal on eBay, I am now the proud owner of my coveted Auzentech X-Fi Forte, by all accounts the best soundcard one can get for gaming and (if you're not using an external amplifier) the best for music and movies too, thanks to (among other things) its dedicated headphone amplifier. YUM.

    Journal entries haven't been happening because there is really nothing to report, short of a review of Brutal Legend that no one would much care about (in short: definitely Tim Schafer's worst game, but even a sub-par Schafer game still beats the pants off most things and as such it was unfairly maligned by much of the press and gaming public). I'm about to finish the 1979 BBC adaptation of John le Carre's Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy starring the always charming Alec Guiness. And it's really awesome. Other than that, making depressingly slow progress on Div III ideas, which will be presented here once they are ironed out. Did a bit of job scouting but actual applications are being withheld till after the Christmas break. Short story: Pretty much nobody in the games industry offers internships, or at the very least they don't advertise them (Sony Online Entertainment being a notable exception). So I got to bug lotsa folks to see if I can get something, and if not simply apply to Sony when they post the job offerings in March.

    Or, you know, volunteer in a thrift store again.

    A Fun Read
    If you're in the mood for something chilling, Ohio has had to keep a detailed timeline of the last hours of each executed inmate since the death penalty was re-instated in 1999. These can be read here.
