Roots

Monday, September 24th, 2007

Is this goodbye? My internet roots? Wiped from the internet for good? 14,503 posts gone up in smoke? This is where it all started for me, all my (geek)knowledge and obsessions spawned one way or another from here. I can only hope they’re making some sort of major move or upgrade, but seeing as Nintendo power(the main drive behind the forums in the first place) is now being sold to Future publishing I don’t hold out much hope. Worst part is I never liked Future publishing, I always hear about how many mistakes they make. Also, if(at least) my account isn’t linked to my subscription anymore I might just drop the magazine and support the good guys over at uncle Ziff.

I’ve got nothing on TGS here, in fact I avoided posting anything over at DS-X2 about it. The rule: post one thing, might as well post’em all - and I’m not doing that. I’ve got school to work on… :(

Speaking of school, I’m adding a few more touches to the video for broadcasting and so I’m not sure when it’ll be ready. This is pretty much a one man operation so I’ve got to take my time and make sure it turns out the way I want it to. Also, I promised I would take a video of the blue spark on my VGA switch for someone, but I filmed it and it didn’t seem to show up on camera very well(or really at all). Bummer really, but it’s nothing special, my VGA connector probably could use some grounding of its own. I’m not going to bother really…

Halo3 launch is upon us, and I’ve been invited by multiple friends to come over and play it(as they know I don’t have a 360). Bungie even admitted the second one was rushed and broken. As result they’ve taken their time with Halo 3 and I think it shows. Looks a lot better than previous versions by far(and I’m not just talking graphics), and I’m actually looking forward to it.
