I had a big post planned out in my head for when I got home (which I just did), but Klippy pretty much said most of I was going to post. But I do want to highlight one thing in particular: I've seen this BS conspiracy theory about Jake embezzling money from PC or committing fraud being thrown...

I didn't expect this to happen, much less so quickly. But it's the absolute best thing that could happen for PC to have a chance to recover. Hopefully we can pick up the pieces and look toward the future. As someone who was on staff for over a decade, I know the frustrations that a lot of the...

I like mornings in theory - being able to wake up, get whatever you need to do done, and have the rest of the day for whatever. Unfortunately, I like staying up late more, which isn't conducive to waking up in the morning. I'm more productive at night and a lot of the people that I talk to...

I actually upgraded to Windows 10 about a month or so ago and didn't revert this time! To be fair, I did a clean install and didn't encounter a lot of the quirks and issues I had last time I tried to do a straight upgrade. It still has its little idiosyncrasies and things that take some getting...

I live in the middle of nowhere. The most that's ever happened is my parents have had their cars broken into twice in the 27 years I've been here, and those were only because they'd accidentally left them unlocked. But crime in general here is pretty rare, thankfully. When I get my own place in...

The monkeys were just lame. Other than Simisage, their designs were mediocre, and they were greatly outclassed by so many other Pokemon of their types. They were basically useful for maybe the first gym and then got boxed for the rest of the game. Plus it was annoying having them popping up...

I always wanted a Razr but I wound up getting boring phones since we had a family plan and my parents just always ordered the same phone for all three of us. :( At least I actually had a phone though, so I can't complain.

Southeast Virginia is ridiculously humid in the summer since we're surrounded by water, plus Virginia is just far enough south that it's hot as hell for most of the summer. All of that makes for sheer misery, especially since I can't stand heat to begin with, and combined with humidity can...

I still have all my Pokemon games, but my Yellow and Gold died several years ago. I still have the cartridges in my collection, just can't play them. A couple of my other games have dead batteries that need to be replaced, but that should be easy enough to fix.

I still much prefer physical copies for two reasons: 1. My internet sucks and I can't download modern 40+GB games without it literally taking days. 2. I enjoy having a physical collection of games that I can display, loan out, sell if I want to, etc. Plus Best Buy GCU/Amazon discounts make it...

I have a post-shave moisturizer that I use since my skin tends to get really irritated after I shave. As long as I use it, I avoid having trouble with that. Other than that, the only thing I do is use an aloe-based lotion sometimes during the winter when my hands/face get dry.

An hour or two is pretty much my limit. The exception is if I get really involved in playing a game with friends, or if I'm close to beating a game and just marathon it to the end. Otherwise, my attention span is pretty short.

I haven't played too much since they apparently nerfed it, but the DL-44 was absolutely broken in the time I played it. It was a one-shot kill even from a fairly decent range, and most of the times I noticed myself getting killed were to that weapon. Plus there are some modes/maps that are just...

I'm pretty sure they said they're not adding anything from the prequels or TFA (other than Jakku) to this particular game, so anything new is going to be drawn from the original trilogy. Anyway, I have very conflicting feelings about Battlefront. When it works, it's a ton of fun, but it has so...

Call me stupid, but I really don't see the need of having anything higher than that for a computer monitor. For the distance you're going to be from it, any higher resolution just seems like an unnecessary strain on system resources - not to mention making everything too small to see clearly...
