This game looks pretty cool. It's coming out in less than a month. I'll definitely get it on my M3.

Doeo

I've been making a bit more music. Mostly experimental hip-hop that is very inorganic and sounds more like odd electronic jazz with some weird dub and a good amount of idm. I have some decent tunes on my MySpace account so check that out if you haven't heard it.

Television

I'm going to start watching tv shows and anime so I'm never really bored. I'm downloading The Office (US), Avatar: The Last Airbender and Cowboy Bebop right now. Then I want to watch like some old anime I used to like. Like Fooly Cooly, YuYu Hakusho, maybe DBZ.

failure

I haven't posted here in over a month. June is close to being over. I've been pretty occupied with school finals stuff and then work and parties during the summer. I think I'll work on posting stuff here more often but we'll see how it goes.

Lately

I have been way too busy to do anything productive. Recently, I've been considering playing more games. I'm too busy/lazy to play video games. WTF!?! Besides that (which I'll most likely get around to this week), I've actually been thinking about doing some sort of digital collage. ZOMG ZOMG!!! I haven't done one in forevs!! Yeah, but really, I've been looking at my old one's and I don't like them as much as I did before. I should make a good one that is up to today's standards. This ever changing world we live in. Fuck. That's it. Wait, no. Wait, yeah.

New Mew album?

Fine by me.

Winamp ipod sync fail

I hate iTunes. It's bulky and takes a long time to open. I currently only use it for podcasts and have been syncing music to my ipod with Winamp 5.x for the past couple months. I have much more than 80gb of music on my hard drive and only an 80gb ipod so I am constantly deleting music. However, I usually keep about a gb or so empty. Today I looked to find out that 13gb of space was free on my ipod. WTF? For some reason Winamp deleted individual artists from my ipod for no reason. I'm not going to back to iTunes and Winamp is great except for these syncing problems. Far better than Songbird even with syncing. So... I guess I'll just live with this. If I find a missing artist that I want I'll just re-sync.

TF2 screen from last month

Playing on Well (ctf, I think) with Beau. Sudden death = heavy fight with melee only. Very lulzy.

LOL songs to stop illegal immigration

The US Department of Homeland Security has sent a CD of 5 tracks to radio stations in Central America to convince citizens not to illegally immigrate to the US. The songs contain scary stories about immigration including one with rape. I find this funny.

April is almost over

I've been finding myself with more and more things to do and less and less time to do them. I could honestly play Team Fortress 2 for at least 5 or 6 hours a day, let alone all the other games I'm playing right now. Usually, video games will take up a majority of my time after school and I don't even play them as much as I would like. Homework? Hardly ever have time for it or anything like it. I've been trying to do weird things like challenge myslef to do the least amount of work and productivity-related things at home and trying to fit them into my days' slight free periods. I don't know.. Just thought I would say that.

RE: why piracy is winning against the studios

I just read an article from the Epic Fu blog (by Steve Woolf) about piracy and the Pirate Bay's recent court battle. I posted a comment on the article but I will post my reply here as well.

Original article: [link]
Summary (by myself):
Studios think they beat the Pirate Bay and pirate movement in court with sentence but they are wrong. They are making people more aware and sites most likely will not be shut down. In an ideal world, piracy would not exist, but this isn't an ideal world. Piracy is here. It will never leave. However, if studios could appeal more to the consumer's new needs (media when, where, and how they want it) people may be willing to support them.

My retort:
You are contradicting yourself. You yourself said:

"So why does piracy exist? Are people really just thieves underneath it all? Of course not. People use sites like the Pirate Bay because it's available to them."

Piracy has long been upon us. Almost all media is free. Why would people pay a flat monthly rate like $9.99 for unlimited content if the unlimited content is already free? People who aren't afraid to pirate music, films, television, etc. will not stop now. Some like to say that if they could play a small fee like this they would. But would they? I doubt it. Piracy is never going to leave. These studios that think they have won anything are, as you said, completely wrong. They are putting piracy more and more into the mainstream's attention.

STALKER, TF2, tomorrow

Right now I'm installing S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl which I torrented in like 2 hours while playing some awesome Team Fortress 2 with Beau. Probably going to sleep in a half hour or so... Going to work tomorrow at like 10:30/45am. After that I might see Kyle and Richard and then I have the Kalamari Dinner at Soquel. That's like 6:45 or so until like 8pm. Then party at the 418 with Keke and all those kids... Going to be a good weekend.

Silversun Pickups - Swoon

I have been listening to the first single off of the Silversun Pickups' new album, Swoon, and it is AMAZING. I recently listened to the entire album and I have to say it is not as great as their debut (which I love so much) but it is still very good. The single I was refering to, Panic Switch, is just soo amazing. Everybody should listen to it.
