Like the fact that almost every single MMO released involves a representation of the player in a 3D or pseudo-3D space, running around like a consumer with Tourette’s syndrome hitting as many pinata balls as possible. Repeat for years.

— Broken Toys laments a lack of progress in game development.

At the next child’s birthday party I go to that features a pinata beating ceremony I will hold a short briefing on pinata zerging, loot allocation rules, and aggro management.

I never expected to see either of these people, let alone both, running for president of the World Bank!

My suspicious evil twin thinks that the parading of progressive, activist Bono is just a distraction while a recently deposed friend of the administration is shoehorned into a sweet job. Perhaps the US administration sees this as an opportunity to freshen up the World Bank’s corporate anthem?

Happy, friendly, naiive twin is glad that the field of candidates is so diverse and refreshingly free of solid, boring, hardened banking, economics and foreign aid-related technocrats.

Ok, forgive me. Episode 3 and “Spoliers” in the same sentence may sound like an oxymoron but it might be an important warning.

Via Broken Toys it’s the PointlessWasteOfTime Star Wars Episode 3 Spoiler Pics.

My favourite moment:

BATTLE DROID COMBAT SUBROUTINE

ADVERSARY: Jedi – expert swordsmen. Weapon effective range: +/- two meters

OUR WEAPONRY: Blasters – effective range: +/- one hundred meters

STRATEGY: Stand one meter away from adversary.

I stumbled on a vintage link last week I meant to post.

I blame this guy for becoming the kind of person my parents warned me about too.

The Metropolitan Museum advertised that it was the ideal place to see “The Gates.” It wasn’t. You can see a little of the installation through the winter-bare trees.

A much better experience was had walking through the park with a gazillion other experience junkies.
