So since I uploaded Gene Simmons’ mug, this little corner of the internet has been pretty neglected. I guess seeing his sheer ugliness made me lose my creative appetite.
It could also be the fact that I’ve been two parts busy and four parts lazy… But let’s ignore that for now.
To slowly adjust back into writing for an audience of spambots and the occasional person I send the link to, I thought it’d throw up a list of what I’ve been thoroughly enjoying on the series of tubes as of late.
Part One: Blogs
This blog is written by one of the Game Master’s for Final Fantasy XI Online, known to his fans as [GM]Dave. Where any normal GM would assist the players where possible and do their job by the book, [GM]Dave takes the renegade cop approach and feeds the book to the very same dragon he feeds FFXI players to.
While it does tend to be more of a soapbox/blog for non-FFXI related things these days, it’s still a bloody hillarious read (doubly so if you actually play the game as you know where all the locations [GM]Dave mentions are and such) and hey, there’s the archives if you need your “retards being eaten by a dragon” fix.
A fresh find while googling the hell out of applications for my Nokia N95. Gear Diary is a catch-all techie blog containing product reviews, news posts and other odds and ends run by Judie Lipsett. Most of these cover mobile phones and other portable devices from the looks of things, but they occasionally throw in other things to mix it up a little.
The aim behind Gear Diary is evident in its subheading: “Everyone can understand technology; Sometimes it takes a little translating”. While it doesn’t particularly explain things quite in layman’s terms, they do keep things pretty damn simple for anyone who aren’t up to date with their techno-jargon yet. Gear Diary may not revolutionize the whole e-Journalist scene, but it does it’s job pretty damn well.
Okay, this might be a little biased seeing as one of my good friends write for the site. But honestly, it has become one of the first places I go for some gaming love action. The articles available consist of both game reviews and commentary on all things pixel. Everything is well written and oftentimes a bit of humor is thrown in as well.
Part Two: Videos
Probably one of the few people that everyone likes when he gets angry, AngryAussie’s youtube channel is equal parts “variety/travel videos” and “angry soapbox”, the latter mostly done under the guise of the character “Mr. Angry”. He also has a blog, locatedin my sidebar, or if you’re lazy, here on WordPress
That’s about it for now. If there’s any more I can find, I’ll make another entry. For now though, look forward to a roundup of some of the applications I’ve been checking out for Symbian OS/Nokia N95. Some new, some old, some I’ve probably already blogged about.
Ciao for now!
