Oh well. It’s now free for Windows-based PC games, whereas before only people with the premium gold membership could utilize functions like playing online games with each other. Now, however, according to a Gamespot article (almost cited it as Gamestop), and confirmed by an InformationWeek article that the PC-version of Xbox-Live is now [...]

I’ve been trying to test out what I’ve come to simply refer to as a flip-flop animation, using two or more pictures played at 10ms each in an endless loop (animated GIF). The example below was one of my Random Images a while ago, and got me to experimenting on how one might be [...]

Here’s a very simple and quick flash game where you move the mouse cursor (in the shape of a peculiar bird) that eats fruit and avoids missles. It’s a side-scroller, but with the additional variable that animal characters are moving around the edges of the game screen and modifying it (shaking it, resizing it, [...]

In this video, I acidentally betrayed my own teammate twice — once when he dashes in front of the Spartan Laser beam that I had trained on squatter (trying to splatter him, I guess) and the second time when he respawns next to me then gets in front of it while I’m shooting again. [...]

I live in Texas and just learned this today — according to a few websites that interpret a recent bill passed by Texas lawmakers, if you fix someone else’s computer and you’re not a private investigator, you could be fined up to $4,000 and get a year in jail! And in order to become one, [...]

Those buzzards in the MPAA, notorious for ruining everyone’s enjoyment of the film industry, have now decided that hey, we don’t need proof to start collecting what we’re owed, we can just start fining people left and right without any proof at all!
If that were true, I’d like to um… fine the MPAA for a [...]

So here I go, off to ABC.com to check out the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy since I don’t own a television and I do stuff on Thursday nights. I’ve never had to sign a EULA (End User License Agreement) before, so why now?
I’d honestly like to know. I sent a tip to [...]

After posting this Ask Metafilter question, I have learned that I am a linguistic descriptivist whereas my accuser is a linguistic prescriptivist. In a nutshell, it means that I believe language rules can be identified by ways in which they have been demonstrated to operate in the past — whereas my accuser subscribes to [...]

The local college/singles bible study leader is taking us all to go see Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed on Thursday, and I’m not really looking forward to it. When he announced it, he wasn’t even sure what it was about, so I had to explain it to the group. It may stir up some [...]

I keep getting a lot of flack for posting YouTube videos that are not mine as if I were the one in them — despite the fact that the description itself states I am not the original filmer. One in particular, the long distance plasma stick (on an old account) was posted over 6 [...]

Apparently we should already know how big a Swinhoe Soft-Shell turtle is, because the article never states its size, other than the headline of “giant.” But anyway, a big one was found, and it has some elements of being a legendary figure, not especially unlike King Arthur’s “Lady of the Lake” except without the [...]

I have having trouble getting past level 2 (and there really is more than 1 level this time) on this fairly simple game of timing. It’s Cat On A Dolphin a game where you are to ferry a cat who holds onto the dolphin’s dorsal fin but can’t hold his breath for very long [...]
