I remember a time when choosing a game to play wasn't difficult... You went to the store, browsed a bit, found a game that looked really neat and would *hopefully* keep you busy for a while. Then, maybe a few months later, repeat the process. Not so much for me anymore...
These days, it seems companies are just going bat-shit crazy with releases. Bioshock, the Orange Box, Super Paper Mario, Metroid Prime 3, Unreal Tournament 3, World in Conflict, Supreme Commander, Star Craft 2, Spore, and many others have all caught my eye. BUT, one can only devote so much time to his hobbies when he has work and OTHER hobbies to tend to (Warhammer 40K, a robotics project that's been collecting dust for the past few months thanks to the previously mentioned hobbies, and more). So it rather sucks. So much awesomeness to behold, so little time to behold it all. :(
In other news, a fellow LJ user has left me rather disappointed. Their name will remain anonymous (last thing I want to cause is some LJ drama), but they've removed my abilities to post in their journals because I exercised my birth-given right to an opinion, and it didn't coincide 100% with theirs. They claimed they didn't have time to try to explain the details and put up with my scenarios as to why their idea wouldn't work, but I guess I was incorrect about what a discussion was: Goober A postulates a scenario, Goober B who doesn't think Goober A's plan will work 100% tries to ask "Well what if?", and Goober A responds accordingly. Admittedly I could've worded what I said a little better, but that's water under the bridge, and that's not really what I'm disappointed about. What disappointed me was that I attempted contacting them via e-mail stating that if they were done discussing the subject, then so was I, and I asked when I might be able to post in their journal again. They asked what I would do if they made an occasional remark about the subject matter, to which I stated that if there were something else to discuss (which "an occasional remark" implies such a thing exists) then I could ignore it, to which they responded that if there were nothing else to discuss (lol wut?) that I would feel compelled to cause a "neverending spiraling argument tree" (which is odd, don't "neverending" and "spiraling" usually mean the same thing in this context?). Needless to say, I'm still unable to comment, which leaves me wondering what was so important about posting in their journal to begin with, so I suppose it's for the better.

End vent.

I'm simply amazed at how many e-mail scams and other such faggotry succeed on the internet solely because of stupid people. I mean, seriously, who in their right mind would believe that a total stranger will give them $10 million if they PAY THEM a few thousand for "bank fees"? Or that a rich relative of yours died and they need your help to transfer their funds from a Nigerian bank and you'll get 10%? 10% of YOUR "relatives" money? Both of these should throw up a BIG red flag immediately.

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is because I get these stupid e-mails every day, and the only reason they send them is because every now and then some stupid troglodytes actually fall for it! Use some sense, people!
