Random geeky trivia of the day!

So the Democratic nominee for my district apparently worked at Microsoft for 5 years before going to Law School. And apparently, when her “house caught fire this summer, she sprinted outside wearing a T-shirt that said “ < / war >” HTML code for “end war.” A photograph of her shirt helped raise more than $80,000 in 24 hours on liberal blog DailyKos, as readers said the shirt meant she was a kindred techie spirit.”

What a good way to raise $!~

Here I am.. opening the floodgates.. but.. I don’t see what the big deal about LittleBigPlanet is about?

Am I missing some fundamental awesomeness?

I’ve watched some videos and trailers and stuff and just don’t understand the huge hype behind it.

Is it the fact that it has an advanced level editor? I guess just personally the ability to create levels and stuff isn’t that appealing. I didn’t buy it to spend hours and hours making my own random-puzzle level.

I don’t even see the huge appeal as a puzzle game either.. it doesn’t seem to have any interesting twist that makes it a cool puzzle game or anything.

Is it the graphics? That’s probably the only part I find impressive and the only draw for me.. but even then, is there a story or anything?

To me it just feels like LBP is a tech demo with a level editor that maybe fun for a couple of hours to look at the eye candy.. am I missing the concept? Please.. enlighten me.

Maybe its a .. you gotta play it to see.. thing?

So after much deliberation, i finally took the plunge for the xbox. and i must say BB shipped it quite fast, it went out the door and to my home in one day! Trying to decide where i can get GTA for cheap, may head out now and try that used store jason pointed out, but first, here’s a few photos..

must have some un-boxing photos first..

for those who care, its the lot0821, lite-on drive… 🙁 part of me hoped to get an older lot but oh well

there it is!

fairly simple setup

and because the sun was really bright, it made it impossible to play, till i got the idea for this ghetto solution

i just realized sadd3j posted over a month ago.. i would say lets revive it but i think we’ve tried several times in the last while with no success.

anywho, since theres nothing really new to report, i will post a photo. of what you ask? well i looked around my room, and the only thing thats marginally interesting is my current setup. the second monitor has been awesome (even though it doesn’t match the imac and according to sadd3j its a SIN). what did i use to take a photo you ask? (and this will probably annoy jasonC) but i used AIRME for the iphone, lets me take a photo and automatically upload to flickr. SWEET!
