Zuse rocks.  It basically takes songs from your Zune Social stream and lets you submit them to last.fm.  Super easy to set-up and it seems to work just fine.

Wheeeeee.

Apparently, the fine folks at EOP&S don’t have me in their system, which means I got here early for nothing.  Not just that, I can’t even make an appointment for my (required) counselor visits.

Also that I’ll be making mildly angry calls for like the rest of the week.

In other news, bacon.

Madness, and signs, ensue.

We were there a few hours before the debates started and it was really something.

Then, surprisingly, when the debate actually started people turned around and watched.  Cheers occurred, sure, but for the most part it seemed like people were actually watching.

More than I at least, my feet hurt and I went and ate crepes during the Health Care portion if I recall.

Puzzle Quest is on Steam.

With that one faithful post, schild may very well have ruined my life. So, I load up Steam and it sounds pretty awesome off the bat: dinglewtsgrats + a puzzle game? I’m weak for either, but just like Mass Effect combined shooter + RPG (more spam Techs + hold down Right Trigger for great justice than an actual shooter, but the point stands…) the combination is a vice grip on my brain.

It’s good, oh so good. I also imagine it’s a lot better on the PC (versus 360 via Live Arcade or PS2) just by virtue of it having a mouse instead of thumb-aiming for pieces which would make me very sad with this game.

Essentially, you have a standard “line up 3-5 pieces in a row/column and they disappear” puzzle game (plus special pieces of course), but when you take out pieces… you get that color of mana for your spells. Clear 4 red and yellow mana and you chuck a fireball at your opponent’s health bar. Or, my current favorite, use my trained rat mount’s ability to bite them. Yes, I captured a rat and I’m riding it around. What did I tell you about it being good? Sure, there are quests, with it being Puzzle Quest and all, as the world map expands out ala FFT and you go around doing feats of daring do… with puzzles… and spells… and rat mounts!

I have a final in two days… all is indeed lost.

First actual campaign ad seen (instead of coverage of one)… Hillary ad during the Fox Morning News (not Fox News proper, okay!)

In other news… news:

Jeff Brown, Electronic Arts’ vice president of communication, told Kotaku that the producer [of Fox News' Live Desk with Martha MacCallum] told him to contact Fox News’ public relations department, which apparently now deals with factual errors in their stories.

(from Kotaku)

Wow, “You Go!” to both Kotaku and EA… who’d have thought.

EDIT: That was quick, same ad in about 20 minutes. Go go war chest, amirite?
