“I’m so mad that there’s a new edition of The Better Joy Cookbook out. Thanks for making my old copy obsolete, you greedy hacks! For five years now, my friends have been coming over for my eggplant Parmesan, and now I’m never going to be able serve it again unless I shell out 35 bucks for the latest version.”

I actually do work during the day, for anyone interested.

But this caught my eye. =)

It’s a short article, Dan. =)

This guy points out the folly of DDI’s proposed pricing, and I have to  
agree with him.

Guy has a serious hard-on for the game:

But what he likes so much about it seems to be what we’ve already  
found in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplaying… the simplicity.

Good grief, Charlie Brown. Check this out:

“CCP’s latest major patch to the EVE-Online client, Trinity, comes with an optional DX9-enhanced graphics patch that dramatically improves the visual quality of the in-game graphics through remade models, textures, and HDR. It also has an unfortunate bug: the incredibly stupid choice of boot.ini as a game configuration file, coupled with an errant extra backslash in the installer configuration. The result is that anyone who installs the enhanced graphics patch overwrites the windows XP c:\boot.ini file with the  
EVE client configuration file, bricking the machine on the next boot. Discussion in a couple of forums threads is becoming understandably heated.”

Yikes!

Duh. =)

Now… what defines stable?

This is good news but doubt I’ll play. Will probably at least give it a spin.

 I got a new FPS game for Christmas called Prey. I don’t know if you’ve heard of or played it but it’s really something. Check out this trailer and there’s also a link to a playable demo:

I highly recommend it even if you’re not a first person shooter fan.
