I just watched a movie called the Secret of Kells. Quite good, though what made me laugh was the name of one of the production companies involved. “Tax Shelter Ing Invest of Tax Shelter Productions” Who names their company that? Are they trying to draw the attention of their local taxing agency?

Books: 2. Books of Skyrim. Argh, did this ever take a long time to finish… It’s just so… boring in sections. 3. Mission of Honor. More and more threads finally coming together in the Honor Harrington series. 4. Much Fall of Blood. The new characters in this are even more entertaining than the old ones. more interesting than the last one, “This Rough Magic” 5. Lost at Sea. Meandering and lost for about 2/3rds of the book, then it finally comes into focus and gets good.

Amalur is even more ridiculous than Skyrim when it comes to titles you earn during the game. I’m currently… The Fateless One (you start with this) The King of the House of Ballads, Truesworn of the Warsworn The Hero of Mel Senshir (And Siegebreaker) Last of the House of Sorrows Archmage of the Scholia Arcana And others… this doesn’t even count all the tiny ones like the master of Gravehal and such.

I’m beginning to think Settlers of Catan is a cursed game. First in 2011, Game Republic, the makers of Catan for PS3, folded up and closed shop. Now that 38 studios has collapsed, Big Huge Games is also out of business. They were the developers of the Xbox360 version of Catan…

Most of the blogs I’ve seen on Tumblr are weird and low-content, with lots of noisy, loud images and pointlessness. Especially the ones who ended up following me when I started posting a bunch of things over from my Livejournal. The most recent blog that followed me is of a very different sort. It’s shockingly content heavy with at least a dozen posts in one day, but I think it counts as more sociopathic and insane rather than weird.

Books: Someday… SOMEDAY I’ll finish Books of Skyrim. Games: 10. Hotshots Golf: International. Quite fun. I’m stuck at about 460th in the world so far… Videos: 25. Twelve Kingdoms. Quite an interesting series. A bit libertarian by the end, even though it can be a slog towards the beginning. 26. True Tears. Good, but annoying at the same time. 27. Doctor Who: Black Orchid. Cricket, and old time british explorers.

Books: I still haven’t worked my way through the Skyrim book, but I’m about 7/10ths of the way through. Games: 8. Journey. Worth getting. Really. Go buy it now. 9. Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack. Excellent game, a side scroller like Rayman Origins, mashed up with Katamari Damacy. Videos: 14. Stargate SG1 Season 2. Pretty good. 15. Vexille. Quite interesting. Like Ghost in the Shell, but less optimistic… 16. Gunslinger Girl Season 2.

I’ve had Telekill on my PSN friends list since the early days of Gamesey.com (Now Gameslurp.com.) I apparently never looked closely at his profile though… Today I was looking through my Near charts and clicked on one of the people with the little orange friend circle, and noticed it said Telekill… Odd, I only knew him through Gamesey, and he hadn’t posted there since 2007. I was about to accuse Near of being inaccurate, then I went and looked up Telekill’s profile here… And it said that he lived in the same area of the world that I did.

The Doctor Who episode is rather amusing. They talk about these tiny chips about the size of an arm cell phone chip that “has more connections than the synapses in the brain” Then they claim the junctions are 100nm in size… And here we’re starting to make 22nm chips and they aren’t anywhere near as powerful as the ones described in the show.

I recently bought a new Wii to replace a broken one… I have 11 Wii games, several of which I really want to finish. So why is it that I’ve not played it since I bought it, and I’m just playing Vita Golf, Assassin’s Creed 1, and Mass Effect 2 instead?
