At The Casino

I went to the Niagara Falls Casino with (e:mike) , (e:libertad) , (e:terry) and (e:matthew) to celebrate mike's birthday and his addiction to Gambling. With two mintes of playing the 25 cent machine I went from $20 to $43. It felt reat. Following by like two minutes on the $1 slot until I was back to $20 ;(

I really am just not into it even with all the great computer noises involved.

(e:mike) was really upset that the Birthday Spin the Wheel promotion starts Sept 1st, the day after his birthday.

Second Life Is So Crazy

I can't believe how valuable my second life money from 2003 has become. I used to have so much of it and kept just giving it away. If only I knew it would be worth so much someday.

This is my current account balance in Linden Dollars and it's US dollar value if I sold it now.

And this is after I already sold half of it. Today I actually sold a very tiny 16m of virtual land I owned from a long time ago for 34 US dollars. I wish I had realized this all before as I sold some super undervalued land in the past.

While considering some land deals I stopped at a dance party. It was pretty fun. Unfortunately, it was a best of biker avatars contest and I didn't have on of those.

Over one plot of my land where I allowed building someone made this thing that shoots out pictures of a drugged out sponge bob, square pants that constantly screams, weird.

Playstation 3 - Stupid People

People camping outside of Best Buy From now until Friday in order to get a Playstation 3 first. There are over 39 people with tents. On channel 2 news they did an interview with person number 39 who was asked, "Why wait half a week in the rain for a gaming consol?"

He explained, "The playstation 3 is more than a gaming system it is a like a computer and it is a calendar!" Need I even say, who the fuck waits half a week outside for a calendar. What a idiot. What made him even say calendar? Is it even a calendar and if it is - is that not the least remarkable aspect of the device?

P.S. Does anyone else hate the channel 2 site

Do they not have enough money to redo. It definately looks like it is is designed by an intern. I guess it's not like Channel 4

looks any better.

Bowling Last Night

We - (e:theecarey), (e:matthew), (e:terry) and I - went bowling last night.

It was pretty fun despite the fact I hate bowling and it is bad for my sensistive programmer's wrists, lol. Actually, I got to like it a bit. Man the bowling alley is a happening place. It was packed with people of every age.

Then ther was this pickup game.

(e:matthew) really wanted the pink panther doll from the pick up game and after several dollars we won it. Well I was the one to atcually pick it up!

Terry won me this orange dot doll. He is pretty cute although somewhat asymmetrical.

We ate lots more greasy food after I had already had lunch at anchor bar with work for the polish guys going away lunch - 100 wings - from which I only had 7.

(e:terry) got a strike. He won the first game and (e:matthew) won the second one.

Terry and Lilho Dance Revolution

I came home from a long day of javascripting to (e:terry) and (e:lilho)'s dance revolution. Finally got headphone for my phone so I can listen to music streamed over the net on the go without bothering everyone around me.

::Download Flash Video::

At the company store today they had these Hello Kitty marshmellow pops. I was going to buy one but how could you eat that.

(e:emilyjane) (e:paul,1238) dancing to DDR in 04, she was just here the other day and is skinny as a rail now.

Wow, video so beats my first audio journal from 04 (e:paul,757) when recording (e:terry)'s DDR moves back then,

Thesis Meeting

So I met with my thesis advisor today and everything seems to be in order but I have to meet with my entire committee very soon and add a person possible. Then I think I need to get it bound.

I also saw Dave Pape today (sorry the pic quality is so bad) and he was playing the Donkey Kong bongo game that I wrote about last night
[inlink]paul,3754[/inlink]. It appears that in addition to drumming you have to clap. I think it works in a simiilar way to my baby swimmies [inlink]paul,2483[/inlink]. You need flash and a microphone to play with them.

We also spoke about doing some mobile to VR project which would be really fun. I cannot wait for the thesis to be over. It is somewhere around 40 page snow but I have lots more info and so few days. I am also taking on another programming job, making children's games for a site. That should pay the student loan bills. So I am back to having four jobs. I guess I do owe about $86,000 so it sounds very reasonable to me.

alternative interfaces for games

Has anyone else notice that 99% of computer games are violent first person shooters. I don't understand that. I don't mean video games in general, I just mean PC games. I guess there is the whole there.com, secondlife.com, everquest, sims thing. What do you guys think?

I mean consoles are full of other types of games, which brings me to my title, alternative interfaces for games. Like DDR and the maraca game for dream cast. Today at EB games we saw the donkey kong bongo game and the playstation version of the same thing. I want to try them but (e:terry) says I won't play enough to justify the purchase. Does anyone have these drum games? I want to try it out.
