And 2009 is off with a bang

Well I can’t say that I saw anything I’ve seen coming in the new year. Everything now days seem to shock as humanity corners a new low each and every time. But nevermind the Palestinian/Israeli fight #182547 or the guy in California that sold his 14 year old daughter and whatever CNET bloggers are peddling for clicks. EGM just died.

Yep. EGM, the most famous of all gaming magazines died of Cadillac unrest(that’s right, not heart failure). Ziff Davis, its former owners needed the monies. Its no secret that the print industry is dying a slow death due to easier means to get information…yes, the internet. A few days ago, the Ziffers let go 40 people from its staff before handing over the ownership of 1up.com to UGO.com. With half the staff, 1up.com has to move forward as a shell of its former greatness. The overlords at UGO promised that they wouldn’t interfere with 1up operations, but we all know how mergers/buyouts work. Eventually, they will start poking at the scab and reopen the wound. Unfortunately, Ziff gets to keep FileFront which is one of my favorite download places and works well. Not sure for how long though since Ziff is liquidating.

That one other game found too

It seems that I am getting my wish. Another update to a game that I was looking forward to gets announced and…its a delay. Battlefield Heroes was pushed back to later this year into the heap of chaos that is Fall/Winter releases. I can easily see this get pushed into 2009.

That one game found.

Finally, Bionic Commando: Rearmed will be released soon. But what does that say about the PC version which seems to be absent from a particular blog announcing the XBLA and PSN versions.

E3 Once Again

Its that smell again. The heat, sweat and tears of a bunch of gamers shoehorned into one convention center for about a week. A number of games are slated to be announced and a ton more will have demos and videos. My interests however is the rumors of a surprise Nintendo game that is supposed to woo the hardcore despite the WiiFit pimpage. And of course, many PC game makers are planning surprises as well. Its all wait and see from here on out.

Effort? (Blog Pains)

Omega X — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 21:51:23 +0000

Ok, so I keep saying that I will one day keep this thing up to date. I even went through the pain of merging 3 of my blogs to keep attention on one area. Well, despite my abilities I still neglect to update. But now that is over. I will force myself to post atleast once a day for sure.

More Test Pics

I found that Cardinal that I spotted the other day. It is really one slippery fellow and avidly avoided my attempts at getting in closer for a clearer shot. But it was windy also so that made getting a shot even worse.

Those test pics.

I managed to take some test pics today from my new camera. Tried it on the birds in my backyard. Got some interesting pictures of a Blue Jay that I saw.

Botulism in Castleberry products

I was shocked when one of my favorite brands of hot dog chili makers just got hit by a recall for botulism. And its not just the chili but everything that they make at the Georgia plant. That is a very long list of stuff. I am glad that I leave the stuff on too long in the pot(not intentionally but still). So far they say that there has only been 4 victims but I expect more as time goes by.

WordPress Theme Dilemma

Omega X — Mon, 21 May 2007 21:14:17 +0000

So, I decided recently to move my blogs to one central location. But I found a new problem. Though not with WordPress itself.(I love this CMS so far.)

ITs the problem of finding a decent theme to use. Now I know that there is a ton of decent looking themes on the WordPress theme site. But it seems that there aren’t many that will fit my style or tastes. Those that do are either broken because of the new WordPress 2.2 release or just lacks in general.

So I think that I’m going to create my own WordPress theme, just to differentiate my blog from the masses.

I just don’t know how some people do it. I have hardly been able to post a blog post even semi daily. And some do it like 20 times a day. It makes me wonder sometimes. Though I’m not mad, hardly anyone reads it anyway and I use it as a semi personal log regardless.
