Good Morning!
Quote of the Day [6.03.11]
“He who warned the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed.”
Sarah Palin about Paul Revere

S.N.S.D FTW
Because CapitolSwell didn’t come back with some Kpop, I’m left to scavenge youtube for some SNSD. Here’s a song on their latest foray into the Japanese market, “Run, Devil, Run.” Unfortunately, it doesn’t highlight their legs.
Hot Pants!

The Lodsys story makes me sick. It (software patents) are stifling innovation. I think software shouldn’t be patentable. It’s like thought or music. Someone somewhere has thought about it already. You can’t patent an idea.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
The latest Disney ride as movie, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, sucks.
It’s not that anyone wanted another movie. It’s not that this was boring. It’s that who could care less about this third sequel. Not me or the writers or the directors or the actors they were interested in the money. Not me I wanted a movie, but I got a mess.

Foolish Games
Faced with a dwindling bank account, I'm trying to cut spending on things that I have control over. I can't change my spending on gas, because it's mostly going to work. I can't change my spending on groceries, because I don't spend much on it. I may have to raise spending on groceries though, because my spending on dining out is outrageous. My cost of housing is fixed. I've cut down on buying manga. And I am trying to limit my electricity bill.It's low, but I am suffering. The thermostat reads 80 and that's with the relatively warm weather lately. It's gonna be a hot week in the 90s and I can imagine the thermostat reading upper 80s. I'm playing chicken with how hot I can manage it. What suffers the most is my sleep. I am on my couch downstairs to try and keep cool, but I am sleeping only in my boxers because it is too hot. I get up two to three times a night, because I am tossing and turning. Tossing and turning on the couch means falling off of it. Perhaps, today I will see if the aircon works. If only for a day…
The Hangover Part II
The Hangover Part II is the same movie as The Hangover except in Bangkok, Thailand. Every story point in the original happened in the sequel. Nothing different. For a comedy, it’s very pedestrian.
I did laugh out loud, but I feel that I had to because it is a comedy. Yet, most of the funny was in the trailer. Then you had to laugh because the movie was pedestrian.
At least, esurance salesgirl was in it.

It's not just in game development, but is prevalent in the entire software community. "Crunch time" or, as the article calls it, "Death March" is plain foolishness. I don't doubt that there are times to put in overtime, but to make it S.O.P. is wrong. I think we need some explaining to do.http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/05/the-death-march-the-problem-of-crunch-time-in-game-development.ars
