Hey Snoop!

About Iran...

I don't know if this is a bad idea, but this morning I woke up and my subconscious was apparently working on how to resolve issues with Iran. I know, this is definitely not my area of expertise, but I figured I'd say what I was thinking anyway. 

So if Iran wants nuclear power and we want oil, why can't we make a little deal. If Iran likes Nuclear power, cool. We'll build the facility and run it. In exchange, we get the oil that we need while rolling out our next-gen renewable energy. Then, once we have windmills and solar panels doing their thing, we'll sell the tech to the region. 

I mean, is it crazy to think that portable, renewable energy could have a very stabilizing influence? Once we figure out how to get self-sustaining electricity we can start fighting over something else (water?) 

Ahhhh!

What can I say? I was very wrong about Mirror's Edge.

I thought it would be fun, but after trying to play it three times I'm sending it back. I'm currently going through this stupid, stupid level where I'm forced to fight a swat team, but I have no weapons and I die in two shots.

Hey DICE, you took a game I was really thrilled about and made it lame, repetitive and boring. The concept of running on rooftops, pathfinding around a city was only exciting because I thought it was going to be huge, free, and open. Instead, I'm stuck on a couple paths and running through sewers. What's fun about hopping from on oddly placed sewer grate to another?

Oh, yeah. And thanks for that annoyingly loud blast of static when I die every thirty seconds.

This is why I rent instead of buy!

I just found out that Patient HM of introductory psychology textbook fame, has passed on. This just happened Dec. 2nd, but I wanted to thank him for his anonymous contribution to science.

So I'd have to say that Chrono Trigger is pretty much the best game ever. It's strange that Fable 2 can't even match this game that came out in 1995. Even Mass Effect or KOTOR can't touch this game.

This game has time travel, robots, and knights all rolled into one, wonderful game. The soundtrack is amazing too. I'm proud to own it, especially since I got a special edition first run. Yeah!
