Oh wow.

It’s been a long long time since I’ve posted any sort of blog, Kellie making a blog for school reminded me of my failed blogging attempts, this one went by far the longest though, and that wasn’t very long at all.

Right now I’m studying for a test and in between I’m playing Hotel Dusk and watching Black Lagoon. Hotel Dusk is starting to get really boring, there is just too much story that I’m not interested in and basically no gameplay, not even in the point and click sense, so it has just become an irritating mess. Black Lagoon is going along exactly like I thought it would, I can already see the softness coming through and the love brewing, if it turns out like I think it will then it’ll be a failed series, but I wasn’t really expecting that much out of it.

Looking down at my posts things have changed a little, Scrubs turned downhill hardcore season 7 onwards. Season 7 was pretty blah and now season 8 is just an absolute garbage pile, not worthy of even watching let alone liking. Children of Men is still my favorite movie, the big winner academy award style this year was Slumdog Millionare which wasn’t the best movie ever, but I enjoyed it, didn’t make any sort of top list for me though, maybe on the year because the year just sucked.

Speaking of the year sucked for pretty much fucking everything. Hardly any game worthy of speaking of, littlebigplanet was the only new IP that didn’t suck hard, all the GOTY choices were sequels, which I guess isn’t that bad, I liked Metal Gear Solid 4, but it’d be nice to see something new win the GOTY instead of a seasoned vet, it gets old. Hardly any good movies at all, I haven’t even thought of purchasing a Blu-Ray yet, the number one choice is Children of Men when it ever fucking comes out.

Anyways, I just wanted to put something down on the blog since it’s been so long, back to the studying grind.

Building webs is for suckas.

I must never forget this.

Pros: Extremely fast, works with more sites than I thought it would, moderatly intuitive controls, works great with mouse-based flash games.

Cons: Terribly intrusive tool bar takes up almost 20% of the screen, so its impossible to view movies full screen which gets annoying, almost no normal browser functionality besides a basic fowards, backwards and address bar.

Before this goes live I’d like a few things to be done with this. First off, allow the user to get rid of that atrocious tool bar when they don’t want it, make a button on the d-pad get rid of that. Also the scrolling arrows need to go when the user is not using the B button to scroll, when reading text or watching a 80% full screen video they still get in the way.

Overall its a lot better than I thought it would be, when I first heard about it, it was stated that flash wouldn’t even be in until the final version, so I’m glad that although no Flash 8, this is decent enough to be a passable application. Well, the fact that I really don’t need any of these functions on my browser to begin with, thats another story.
