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!
