Woot. First day of almost work down. One more day of "training" in Geelong before another day of "training" in Warrnambool. Also getting more salary than expected, fuckyes.jpg. Also the gf took the boy to a pet store today and he could say Cat which is cute. Couldn't wrap his infant mouth around Puppy yet though. Baby steps.

How about a Presidog one since it's the 4th of July?
Anyone who still plays their games in 4:3 I'd like to hear what you think too.
Can we have Presidog every day?
Also I have a minor dislike for 4:3 after moving to widescreen for the last few years. Widescreen looks fantastic on a 50 inch Plasma whereas 4:3 content looks archaic in comparison. Not to mention games that aren't true widescreen. No different to work stations that use super wide monitors or dual/triple monitors. The extra real estate makes a big difference to my mind.

If I can play today it probably won't be until 11:30 or so, unless the boy miraculously sleeps early.
I promise one day soon Fred he will be dropping off to sleep around 7:30pm and only stirring once or twice before 8am. Soon you will get more than 4 hours sleep at a time. Soon a day will actually feel like a day rather than an infinitely repeating cycle of 3 hours blocks.

wat a new planet of the apes film?
Looks fucking awesome. Planet of the Apes 0. James Franco being all mad science yet tender and loving unable to take the life of a sweet gentle Ape. Plus it will be important scientific knowledge to prevent future Ape uprisings. I would expect flamethrowers to do the trick.

They suck so fucking much now. I don't wanna sound like that guy. But holy shit. White Noise was eh, but this new one looks to be the shittiest yet.
They have tried their very hardest to follow the career of Green Day. It has been a slow but steady move down the drain for The Living End. What I have heard of the new album is deeply saddening, even more so than what The Butterfly Effect has become.

Rocking the Phil Collins Best Of in my headphones to get through a boring Monday afternoon at work. Don't judge me.
I approve too.

I think 3D is going to get pushed down our throats more and more over the next couple of years, and if the technology ever becomes mature enough that it doesn't feel like a gimmick, it'll keep on keeping on. That said, if even State of Origin isn't broadcast in 3D, I can see it being drawn out for more than a decade on the TV side of things.
To be honest I expect Movie 3D to die a quick death as the vultures are circling in the US. Shitty post-processed 3D movies has killed consumer acceptance of paying an extra $5 to see a movie in 3D. Investors are freaking out and studios are losing faith.
At least now the technology is getting cheaper it can find a home on TV with the better return on investment for consumers and eventual lower add-on costs to the studios. No idea how well it will take up though, it isn't a simple improvement like HD.

The graphic designer survived because his girlfriend managed to activate a personal locator beacon and the pair reached a village aid post, where they were able to arrange to be flown to the port town of Kiunga, a 30-minute flight away.
There he received life-saving surgery which lasted four hours from visiting Port Moresby surgeon Charlie Turhas and Australian volunteer doctor Josette Docherty, whose partner Allan Mason also donated a unit of blood.
Shit that is incredible. Also fuck going to Papua New Guinea.

I am listening to Steven Wilson covering Sign o the Times by Prince. Prob no cred points either, but it is pretty cool.
I would consider Wilson indie since he has produced his own stuff his own way for so long now. Also he is awesome.

So, Transformers 3 tomorrow night. I don't remember much of Transformers 2, though... should I rewatch?
The first Transformers had a serviceable (still stupid though) story with some decent robot fighting marred by poor camera work and editing choices and WAY too much focus on the poorly acted humans who wove a merry tale of high school angst.
The second Transformers was a bloated travesty of a movie that made zero sense and had zero point. The well had been tapped. All that was left was the stone walls that are being milked into oblivion (with good reason going by the worldwide box office take). It was created to make a great trailer to get people in the door and make a shitload of money before people realised it was a pile of shit.
The third Transformers looks more of the same. The trailer looked bad ass. But I will not be fooled again. Also the reuse of previous assets is a little worrying considering the massive budget. Plus dropping a crappy lead actress to replace her with a Victoria Secret model who looks like the only direction she was given was to pout and look sexy for the entire movie (she also looks even dirtier than Megan Fox which is saying something). We get it Bay, you like to be surrounded by skanky women. Stop skimping on talent, special effects can only make up for so much.
Anyway.
Here is a perfectly good write up on the plot of Transformers 2. And why it irritates me that everyone will go see a pile of shit like Transformers 2 rather than 127 Hours or The Tree of Life.
