FFXIII just arrived from Gamefly… gonna try it out. Will do a review when I’m done with it.

Now I’m really confused. I’m used to attacks and all, but how the heck does someone hijack a site to redirect only when the user is entering through Google or Yahoo? I’m going through all the site files right now.

That said, please only go to the site by directly entering the link or using a bookmark.

People these days seem pretty insecure about themselves. Noted a guy today who spent his free time harassing people for no particular reason except to make himself noticed (yes, he admitted to that). Internet anonymity, I guess, is enough of a reason. They’re like schoolyard bullies, except you can’t punch them in the face. And they know that; that’s why they do it.

What I wouldn’t give to punch these people in the face. Just once.

These past couple days, it seems like people I used to know are suddenly getting back into contact with me. The other day, it was Nikki, my friend from school whom I lost contact with after we graduated… and then Mr. Kidd, my teacher from the Academy, contacted me just today.

I was meant to meet with Nikki today, but she fell ill, so that’ll have to wait another time. Mr. Kidd said to ‘feel free to drop by the classroom at any time.’ I might take him up on that offer. I’d like to see what kind of class he got this time around.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly three years since I graduated.

I finally got my capture card to work. So.. here ya go

Edit: Seems Youtube won’t let embedded players use the 720 mode. If you wanna watch in full quality, click on the video to take it to Youtube itself and view it in 720HD mode. The quality there is REALLY nice.

Edit2: Nevermind, there it goes. You CAN watch 720 mode here.

I started getting comments that I couldn’t even tell if they were spam or not. So, I just installed a new capcha thing on the site, and made it so you have to register and log in to comment. This will hopefully deter would-be spammers/bots.

It’s come to my attention that the general populace is frighteningly uneducated in the field of Astronomy. It seems that kids are still being told, when little, that all stars Super Nova and turn into black holes when they die. And then, when they get into middle and high school, they never take the optional Astronomy class, so they’re never told otherwise. And when they grow up to be adults, they start to talk know-it-all, only to be informed that they’ve been wrong this whole time, and it makes them feel silly.

WHY DO WE DO THESE THINGS TO OUR CHILDREN?!

Why do we feed our children easy-to-understand but highly inaccurate information when they’re young? It only messes them up. I mean, really. Books when I was a kid always showed planets in a perfectly circular orbit around the Sun because they didn’t want to go through explaining an elliptical orbit to a kid.

I remember going into an astronomy class and kids actually being disappointed when our star, and most others that we know of, will just expand, deplete their fuel, and then collapse into a dwarf star and drift around until it just goes cold and dies. They seemed even more disappointed when they found out that a lot of super novas don’t cause black holes – that they collapse into neutron stars. That only a small percentage of the known galaxy’s stars are massive enough to collapse into a black hole upon death.

NOT the big day. Tomorrow, I get to go in and look at my new teeth. I’m getting them put in on Monday. I’m excited. I’ll have nice, shiny teeth. Made of ceramics.

Mean while, I’m still working on SoC:TD. The bandits now die, despawn, and award money. I’m now putting in tower tiles (Tiles that say “A tower can be built here”) throughout the level.
