Some of this stuff you just can't make up.

My wife and I just got back from Taiwan where we spent our 'Honeymoon' (Hey, I figure it qualifies even if it's a year ... and a bit ... late). It was fun. It was awesome. It was filled with 'Hello Kitty' stuff. Read more

That's the same subtext I hear anytime one of you is speaking

Some days it is a clearer subtext than others.

The above image is Sherlock Holmes and John Watson from BBC's Sherlock. Via 9gag.

Microsoft is releasing Cortana, their answer to Siri, for Windows phones.

When they come up with the holographic version, I'm in!

Unrelated...

I am just saying that it is possible

I bought it directly from Rebellion which cost me an entire 1¢ more ($6.25) than buying it from Steam ($6.24).

Now all I need is a Windows License. I know I already have a Steam Account, I just have to remember what it was...

It's in there, trust me.

Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution reviewed well when it was released in 2008 with an average of 84%. I seem to remember that Moricerevek liked it so take that however you may. If you are interested at all grab it now while it is free! Available until March 15.

...there is still hope for you.

I'd like to say I was heard but I forgot to send all my threats

I originally created the above poster to help in our (my) campaign to bring Nazi Zombie Army to consoles. But I did not manage to send it before Rebellion’s CEO and Creative Director Jason Kingsley announced that, in fact, Nazi Zombie Army is coming to consoles.

"We can't say much yet but it won't just be a re-package of the first two games - there will be plenty of new content to get stuck into. Like many independent developers, we're still learning the ropes and having a lot of conversations with the platform holders. We're not at the stage where we can confirm the platforms right now, but we're fortunate to have experience already from self-publishing on Steam and mobile, so we're confident it'll go smoothly."

Keep in mind not all is sweetness and light.

Of course, it is assuming that the person I thought of was actually employed, but whatever.

Via Stormblade who was too lazy to post it himself. And probably that unemployed thing... "yadda, yadda, yadda, more time, etc, etc..." I never listen anyway.

It's not as exciting as it sounds

So other than letting you know we played Star Trek: the video game I really don't have a lot to talk about.

Coxxorz and I overlapped in our Xbox Live time by an hour so we used it to play Star Trek. As mentioned during our last adventure we quit out will still working our way through Chapter 6, Gorn Planet & the Trials. Turns out we only had two minutes left in that chapter. Which took us ten minutes as we both died six times. In a row. At the same point.
