11:03 pm - Funny Fact
Came across this fact today and found it amusing. Mainly because I find FFVII fanboys and girls annoying beyond all belief! You can enjoy a game, hell, you can LOVE a game, but when you start to, I don't know, sleep with it and swear upon it like religious people do a bible? There's a problem.
"Despite getting killed in her very first game appearance, Aerith has appeared in three more Final Fantasy titles, a feature length film, two Japanese party games and three Kingdom Hearts. So, how exactly was her death meaningful again?"
I mean yeah not all of it's canon and you can argue yourself blue against how legit that statement is. But I still find it funny.

So... I sort of feel like a detriment to my team. It's not like I'm trying to be. Or am just flat out being lazy. It's just the one problem I have with programming is rearing its ugly head again. It'll all be fine and good. A very complicated logic puzzle, but solvable, and then some random thing will decide to not work cause I'm not perfectly fluent in the language and I won't be able to figure it out. So I'll sit there staring at the screen trying to figure it out and can't. So I'll look through my books and the help section hoping to find something and still nothing. So I try and do the let the answer come to me. I stare at the computer, flip through the books, check out a couple websites hoping something anything will jog my brain to go "Hey there's the answer!"
But it doesn't happen for a while. So I feel like if I'm a better programmer I wouldn't be holding my team back. Or holding myself back... something. I don't know I feel bleh about the whole situation...
On a positive note though I found this funny internet musical thing. It's www.drhorrible.com It's by Joss Whedon and his family. Plus it has Neal Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion in it. So it's wicked cool. But bleh feelings prevail I'm afraid.

10:43 am - Dissidia
So I was thinking to myself... "Self... You should pick up a 360. It'll be helpful for you. Especially if you learn some XNA you can actually make some games and stuff. Plus it's got a good number of games that are good."
And then I tried to download XNA game studio and it was all sassy. So I gave up on the XNA idea but I still wanted to get a 360. Then I saw this:
My jaw literally dropped. This game looks SO good. It makes even Zidane look kind of bad ass. Which is a feat. Desperate to know more I wikied it. And I learned 3 things, you can skip this next section of my blog if you want to read it on Wikipedia yourself.
1. Cloud hasn't been announced as a character. Which makes me incredibly happy. Could you imagine a Final Fantasy Crossover without him? OH MY GOD! It would be amazing.
2. It's described as a "Dramatic Progressive Action" game. Which when I read the details of the gameplay sounds like a very in depth fighter where you have multiple attacks that do more than just drain hp.
3. It's for the PSP.
That seals it. I want a psp now way more than I want a 360. Especially with the psp's hacking and emulating abilities? Getting a psp is like getting a ps1 and snes again but all the games are free and portable (no duh). I'm not sure if a psp can handle 64 roms but I wouldn't be surprised honestly seeing as the ps1 was more powerful. So bring on the psp! Bring on the Dissidia!
(Did you see the brief fight in there between Sephiroth and Squall? I LOVE running battles!)

04:26 pm - Today is awkward people day.
Seriously. I ran into Dewherst and Thomas today... What the hell? I have no clue what Thomas was doing here today. But if Dewherst was so easily visible today after what I'm assuming is him starting his new job at admissions... God damn.

10:33 am - Weird dream
So it's times like these that I wish I had a dream dictionary/encyclopedia thing. (By the way WOO I'm posting!) So yeah. I dreamed that I was trying to pass myself off as a woman. But I didn't shave the pubes off my face or my legs and I didn't do anything about my naturally low voice or the fact that I lacked boobs... Basically I was just cross dressing really badly but I thought I was pulling off a convincing woman. And there was this woman. She was the same age as me and she hung out with me and pretended I was a girl all though I could tell she knew I wasn't... Wait... Maybe I did have boobs... weird... She bought me a top and stuff and before the dream ended I decided I'd officially come out of not being a woman to her and seek a romantic relationship with her. Like I said. WEIRD DREAM. I have no clue where that came from.
Also. Today is going to become DnD day for me with Joel DMing and Munchies and Brian in my party. I'm also going to try and start a Monday night game with Michelle, Claire, Kaden, and Derek. All though I'm not sold on it being every Monday night... I'm not even sold on it working out as I've never dmed before. But hey. We'll find out tomorrow.

So I joined in for that video thing. It was fun. But I'm glad it's done. I was apparently wasting time at my internship as I was waiting for my lead programmer to combine our two versions together only to find out that I was the only one that had been working on the program so I could have been working on the programming when I wasn't. Oh well back to making distraction websites.
Hopefully I'll post more stuff later.

06:41 pm - Panel Tomorrow
So yeah. I have not been here in a wicked long time. But that's ok. You know why? Cause Tomorrow I get to speak in a panel at a conference about how the internet can help people stay connected and help build community and such.
What am I specifically talking about? Why Blogging of course. That's why I had to come back. That and I felt like anyone that wanted to talk to me should be given the opportunity.
Well my ears just popped and I need to get ready for tomorrow. So I'll see you all later. Feel free to post a comment if you want to get noticed by Vermont Officials and teachers and such while I browse about livejournal tomorrow explaining how it works.

06:57 pm - Damn it.
I've been trying to update regularly but right now I'm sorry. This is probably my last update. The Zombie Infestation has grown out of control. There are now 30-40+ Zombies running the streets of Burlington. I'm going to try and enjoy what is potentially going to be my last night on Earth. Tomorrow I'm going to try and find an exit strategy out of this city.
I must go now and try to enjoy my time left with one of the few humans I know to still be alive. There shall be a celebration tonight and tomorrow I will most likely die attempting to get out of the city. I wish you all good luck and hope the infestation doesn't spread outside of the city.

12:44 pm - /Mourn
Today I mourn the loss of Ryan. He was taken while some of us were eating lunch. He will be missed in the barracks. I appreciated his close combat philosophy. But now it's easy to see the error in the logic of choosing close combat versus zombies. I have melee weapons in case I run out of ammo but they're definitely not my first choice weapons.
The Barracks will not be the same without him.
We also have a couple missions to do. One to prove that we're not letting the infestation get us down the CEO wants us to take pictures of us outside being leisurely. At 3 there is also a mission to escort Joe from Human Resources somewhere so he can gather supplies for the company.
It's times like these that really make you wonder if there is a god.
Zombie Hunter Rob, Logging Off.
