My 12 year old daughter announced that she wants an iPad…and is willing to buy it with her own money…Kids…I wish I had the money to buy one.

You want to buy a kid?

My new Xbox Slim and Enslaved are arriving tomorrow. And I have a day off. Good times!

(Actually, I say it’s arriving tomorrow - are Amazon’s delivery estimates any good? I seem to remember they’re not bad.)

Kids are the new iPad. I think people like them because you can accessorize them so much, but it can get expensive.

XM radio sucks. I was scanning through channels today and accidentally caught some of Bruce Hornsby’s “Every Little Kiss”, and now the song is stuck in my head. That fucker.

One of my gamers sent this to the mailing list. We had a good laugh.

But secretly… I kind of want that hat.

I still wonder why that guy I saw a couple of hours ago walking down Harding Pike was carrying a live snake, and whether that’s illegal.

I had a bachelor weekend, and I have come to the conclusion that pants were invented by the devil for the sole purpose of ruining our lives.

I hate working nightshift.

Playing Civilization through the wee hours of the morning to sun up is one thing.

Working though, that sucks balls.

I’ve never played a rhythm game, but looking at this video I have to ask myself:
How does someone get this fast? Do these types of skills carry over from song to song? Obviously you can practice individual tracks over and over, but if we gave this guy a brand new song to play against, would he be able to fly through most of it that fast, or would he be completely unable to play through any of it it until he learns that one specific song?

Do people that play these songs this fast watch the arrows at all?

Yes, but they don’t consciously think about hitting the keys. Look at a really good hammer dulcimer player’s hands at some point.

By the way? Hammer dulcimer. Most awesome instrument in the history of ever.

I would totally buy one of those if I could find a good one for $50.

Not gonna happen, dude. You might be able to rent one for that much over a couple of months.

kerzain · 2010-10-11T15:39:33.000Z

Yea, I looked on amazon before I posted that, but my statement holds true.

Fixed that for ya.

Also, it takes five lifetimes to learn, which is why only the serially-reincarnating or Undead play it professionally.
