Beyond the Pixel

What is up with companies shrinking their name? First, Circuit City became “The City”. Then, we have Pizza Hut becoming “The Hut”. And now, we have Radio Shack becoming…”The Shack”
Maybe I should rename BtP to.. “The Pixel”. Then again, im sure Pixel.net has already been taking. I know, Best Buy will become.. “The Buy.”
Maybe this should extend to games, instead of calling it Gears of War, we could call it “The Gear”. Batman Arkham Aslyum can be called “The Batman.” Actually, that sounds kinda cool. I am playing “The Batman.”
Lets see World of Warcraft can now be called “The Warcraft”.
The list goes on!

Also, why are we spending real money on avatar items? Its like The Sims 3 with all these microtransactions. Of course its only a dollar or so, but it adds up! And soon you can be spending hundreds of dollars on your avatar that you only see in like one place and thats the dashboard and maybe 1-2 games.
Meh I say, MEH!

It doesnt know whats coming from above. Dun dun duuuuuun!

cluck

Oh nos! Its attacking a poor bunnyrabbit!

The bunny attack

Beware the vampduck.

So, ive been thinking about doing online courses…but im not sure what I want to do. I was talking to the Art Institutes Online Devision on doing some kind of online courses.

But, my money decided to go in other directions.

Turns out I slipped a disc in my jaw making it hurty hurt. So my monies went WHEEEEEEE.

I wanted to buy a nice digital tablet as well. Ahh well. I really should start teaching myself how to draw. So then I can can get decent at drawing. The hope is that if I do drawing and get okay at it, then it would make doing 3d stuff a bit easier. First step, drawing. Then, naughty hentai! Mwahahahaa!

Also Congrats to Shadowfang for joining the old man thrall by graduating from college! Yay! Now he joins the workforce and has to slave away instead of having fun. Like the rest of us! >:O

So, for once in a long time The Simpsons was actually entertaining. I laughed! :O
But then I was rather disappointed with the new show Shut up and Sit Down or whatever the hell its called. And now here we are…Family Guy…It started out so good, but now its devolved into stupid political garbage…again!

Seriously, if you can think of funny things or at least make the political things be a background funny, just stop! >:O

Down with HFCS!

Actually, im actually glad that they (the food companies) are slowly using more real sugar as opposed to HFCS(High Fructose Corn Syrup). While its debatable if you believe the stuff about it or not, I find that real sugar thingies just taste soo much better.

Also, delicious steak.

So far, im not too terribly impressed with the new gametap look. It is rather easy to break.

I guess the biggest annoyance right now is that its obviously beta. It even says so right in the top corner. However, for future programmers and all that, please dont use your entire customer base as your beta tester…especially by “force.” Next time, please do us a favor and test in a voluntary sign up before subjecting everybody to it. Thanks.

I finally got my figureprint of my druid Sylandra! Yay!
