fuzmeister: Great Sadness

---

My compact PSOne system is dead. I broke it out last night for some Street Fighter Alpha 3 with a friend and the dog that was visiting ran right through the controller cords. The system flew down on the concrete floor and now it sounds like an electric razor.

Maybe I should get one of those slim Playstation 2 systems to replace it. Some of my friends offered to give me their old, original model systems, but they just aren't the same as my fallen gaming buddy.

Mood: Saddened
PSOne: Down

fuzmeister: Does It Offend You, Yeah?

---

Was anyone here offended by Mr. Obama's comment last night on Leno making a correlation between his bowling skills and the special olympics? I posted it on facebook a few hours ago and several people have provided their two cents already, so I figured I'd get the Vent community bustling with debate.

I have a feeling that most here probably weren't offended by his remarks though. I sure wasn't.

In fact, I think it's virtually absurd people would be offended. It wasn't the most tasteful comment (especially for a person in his office), but I don't think it warrants such a backlash from the Joe Sensitives of America.

S+F Software is gone (for now). Everyone involved just has different priorities right now. Who knows what the future holds though?

fuzmeister: Damn You, Valve

I just beat Half Life 2: Episode 2. I know it's been out since late 2007, but I only just began playing it early this year. The episodic nature of these expansions works incredibly well and, I think, this latest release has some of the best storytelling of any game I have ever played. Please note, that I said storytelling and not story, though that is definitely great as well.

Valve is going to keep getting my money now. They've sealed the deal.

Anyone know when Episode Three is coming out?

Mood: Wired

fuzmeister: CD Pressing Blues

---

So, I'm considering getting CDs pressed here. I think I would go for the four panel digipak. I'm not sure I can justify over 1200 dollars though - I mean, it ends up being less than $1.30 a copy, but I'm not sure I'm at a stage where I can sell 130 copies to break even.

I've considered setting up a mailing list type deal on my site, but I'm not sure if that would really help me gauge sales. There's always Twitter if you can judge your fanbase from such a thing.

I think, for now, I'll just stick to digital sales as I did with the first record.
