Let’s talk favicons, people! July 5, 2009

Favicons. FAVICONS.

Favicons are awesome, okay? Yeah. Awesome. They are pretty, and small and make things look super cool.


Now, I use firefox. It’s cool, and it works better than IE. I also use the built in bookmarks toolbar which is really sweet looking.





Until you see the websites without Favicons. Then, it is just sad. Favicons, URLicons, Webicons, whatever you want to call them, please use them! The prettiness of my bookmarks toolbar depends upon it. Also, you see how there aren’t any names beside them? Granted if I roll over them it will show a name (Thanks to the Smart Bookmarks Bar Add-on!), but how am I supposed to know what your website is without a pretty little icon to show me? hmmm? Seriously, if you don’t have a favicon, you should.

E3! June 2, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tachyon @ 10:51 am

I’m watching those kooky kotaku guys gearing up for liveblogging Nintendo’s E3 presser. I know, it’s exciting, yeah! I’ve no clue how Nintendo is going to make their presser any more awesome than Microsoft’s though. I don’t think they can beat it. We’ll see!

 

Sims 3 June 2, 2009

The Boy Creature bought Sims 3 for me tonight because it came out on midnight. Of course, I had to play it immediately. So I put it in. It took 20 minutes to install, not bad. I started it up and couldn’t figure out why it had to connect to the internets to let me play my game. (But I don’t wanna give you permission to connect to the internets, this is not an online game, I say) Oh well, I give it the permission anyway, Whatever. (But I’m not HAPPY about it) Then it starts downloading an EA download manager, and I am decidedly peeved and have no clue what is going on. I just want to play Sims 3, man! So now I’m getting ready to play Sims 3, but I’m in a very unhappy mood. Growl.

 

Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise September 7, 2008

Got my copy of Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise today. (a whole 2 days early!)It’s a whole lot of fun. It really is basically just viva piñata (original, xbox 360) adapted for the handheld, but it fits really well. The controls are wonderful. The graphics are better than you would expect. I do notice quite a bit of blurring during the opening videos, but that is to be expected. So far the game is pretty great. The only thing I’ve seen that I don’t like at this point is that the romance dance mini game (to get coins) is gone. So it’s really hard to make coins, it seems the only way to do so is by selling things (vegetables, piñata) so that kind of stinks, but other than that, the game is quite tops.

Can Someone explain this Large Hadron Collider thing that is being turned on and might suck up the world on wednesday to me?

I mean, if it has a .000001 chance of killing us all, why even turn it on, or even build it in the first place?

I really don’t even understand what it is doing.

 

Phoenix Wright, Some Spoilers, and how inanimate objects move. September 4, 2008

Okay so the other day Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney accidentally jumped queue and right into my DS and I am LOVING IT! I absolutely can’t put it down. I love the puns and the ironic way some of the story lines make me laugh. I never meant to even start playing it yet. I mean it was in the line waiting for the line waiting for the waiting to be played line. But some how it just jumped right into my ds and when I turned it on, BAM! Phoenix Wright. Of course I couldn’t just not play it when it took so much effort to become mobile and get into my DS. So what was I going to do? I started it of course, thinking, “oh I’ll just check it out and see how it is, then I’ll get back to Super Princess Peach.” Obviously that isn’t going to happen anytime soon. I’m not completely sure where I am in the game, But I’d say I’ve played about 3 hours. I’m at what I presume is the near end of a trial for a man named Will Powers (lolol). My favorite character so far is Maya, though I really liked the pink haired vixen from the last trial, Miss April May (again, lolol). I just can’t get over how awesome it is.

I just wanted to post this because now any queue of games I had to play is now completely messed up because of this little line jumper. So Now I am probably going to have to play the whole series of Phoenix Wright games.

Now how do you think this game came to be in my DS?

Did it really want to be played that much?

Also: I tried out Sims 2 Apartment Pets and it is about the top of my failed games chart. Worst Sims game ever. I guess I will just need to revise my DS game queue now.

 

I GOT IT August 23, 2008

Drew got me the camera I wanted for my birthday. HOW EXCITING IS THAT? Anyway It’s really awesome and I think I am going to name him François because I just recently beat Chibi-Robo Park Patrol and my favorite friend in the game was the cool marionette, François who eventually rose above the need for strings. So say Au revoir to Calvin and hello François!

Now with new found cameraness I’m gonna celebrate with a picspam!

This is our new puppy, Jingles! Isn’t he just so rediculously cute? Okay so I wouldn’t normally put a shirt on him, but whatever, The shirt is our local schools’ colors (Go Wildcats!) and says ‘Team captain. Drew and I found it in that dollar area at target! There were tons of different clothing like cheerleading outfits and such! Too Cute! Also Starring in this picture is Bo-Bo which is that silly toy from PetSmart (Which is not where the pets go of course, but whatever). Anyway isn’t he just anerable? Yeah you can’t handle it! Go Ahead and give his head a little scratchypoo with your mouse. I know you want to.

This is lunch. (Hey I said pic-spam, didn’t I?) Lunch Consisted of a Ham Sandwich on Wheat Bread with colby-jack cheese on it, and an extra half piece on the side. Also Munchies which after taking the picture I promptly picked out all the pretzels, mini doritos and sunchips and gave the cheetos to Drew. And of course a Welches Grape Juice. Mmmm delicious!

This is my monitor/360/computer. Basically this is what I look at when I’m on my computer or playing my 360. My monitor is sitting on an Allsop stand thing that Drew got for me at wal-mart. The 360 fits under it just right and it’s so nice.

Also peeking out are the altec lansing speakers I use and my thumb drive, some random cables or something and my lists. I’m a compulsive list maker. I love to do lists especially.

Not pictured however is my actual computer (the tower, it sits under the table) and my sub woofer box thingy (also under the table.

This is my stack of gaaaaaames!!!!

Halo 3, Tenchu Z, Guitar Hero 2 & 3, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo (Still unopened, lol, had it forever), Beautiful Katamari, Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged, Viva Pinata, Rockband, Halo 2, Rayman Raving Rabbids, Sims 2 Limited Edition (includes night life and bon voyage). Oh and Can’t forget Office Home and Student 2007! That’s the best game in that stack! and of course Fruits Basket! 1!

</P?

This is my awesome table. It’s where I eat, play games, compute, work, craft and basically do everything! It’s actually about twice as long as you see, but that all got cut off.

OOOOH MAIL! I wonder what if could be! It’s from hong kong! So far away!

It’s my supercard! I was super excited about finally receiving this in the mail, but then I was really sad because it doesn’t work. So now it has to be sent back to deal extreme and I have to wait forever again to get a new one. Drew emailed them about an RMA number but I don’t think he has heard back yet. So disappointing!

And now Puppehkins says Bye!
