Just to let you guys know in advance, there may be a delay next week as I begin to redesign the site. I do, however, have something interesting that may be coming up soon. (Yes, I know I say that a lot… but this time I mean it! No, really!) As always, if you have any comments, suggestions, encouragements, etc., feel free to let me know in the comments. Remember, your comments can help make Punk-Pink! better!

(Yeah, I’m totally pushing for that now. Hey, what can I say? You guys enjoying my comic are all awesome, and hearing from you would be even awesome-er!)

Nothing like a good ED

Lately I’ve been itching to try out my “games ‘N bed” entertainment center I’ve set up for myself as soon as I moved into my apartment, but shamefully had yet to really give a whirl. And what better game to play in the place where all the lights go out than Eternal Darkness? The shameful (Lotta shame in this post…) truth is, I’ve never really beaten the game until now. The graphics are kinda cheesy by today’s standards, and I almost have to force myself to be scared by it. Plus, the monsters are really cheap. I mean, what the hell was Silicon Knights thinking putting those freaking Horrors in the game? (Aside from thinking of ways to botch Too Human, as my buddy Robert pointed out) They’re annoying as heck, and they really ruin the subdued horror feel of the game by throwing giant three-headed gorilla-golums at you. Why not just make the Persian warrior fight a freaking Gundam?

Anyway, there IS still fun to be had in the game. The insanity effects are still crazy, even if I know that Blue Screen of Death is just there to screw with me.

Epic Flix!

Between Mega Man Legends 3 getting cancelled and my PS3 crapping out on me, I’d say it’s been high time some good news were to arrive at my doorstop in the technological world. And while this post in about a week late, the good news was just in time – my Droid Epic, long time a source of woe for me as it was a smartphone that DIDN’T PLAY NETFLIX… finally plays Netflix. And as anyone who already had it can attest, it’s awesome being able to watch Dr. Who anywhere I so choose.

Hey, notice a common trend in my posts? Yeah, sorry… I’ll try to cut down on those in future updates and find other topics for you guys. Also, I know my blogs are still kinda crappy, so once again, I urge you to scroll down to the “post comments” link and give me some tips and suggestions, should you be so inclined.

Warning: Nerd Rage Ahead

So last night I turn on my PS3, and what should happen but my PS3, which I not only paid $500 to buy but also an extra $130 to fix once, should give me the Yellow Light of Death. Now, I’m one unlucky bastard to have all THREE of my systems break down on me, but this is the only one to do it TWICE. Aside from that, my original PSP broke down on me, and when I got a new one a bunch of bubbles started showing up on the screen. I was originally planning on getting a Vita when it came out, but now? Screw it, it’s just not worth it to keep rebuying crap I already paid for. And my $630 doorstop will stay the way it is, too; I don’t have that kind of money. I hope you’re happy, Sony. Now I may never see the last episode of Back to the Future.

Jerks.

Diversion

About a month or two ago, I finally took the plunge and got a smartphone.  My platform of choice was the Samsung Epic 4G – not exactly the most advanced phone out there (I’m still waiting for Netflix support, dammit!), but I got it for a buck, and hey, even considering the price it’s a pretty decent phone.  Even had a slideout, tactile keyboard.  But, I’m not here to write about that.

Obviously, there are a lot of games for the Droid, including, of course, Angry Birds.  But my most recent addiction has been the aptly-named Diversion.  The concept of the game is simple – your guy runs automatically, and you just tap the screen to make him jump over obstacles. Basically, it’s a version of the platformer that actually DOESN’T suck on a smartphone’s touch screen.  Despite the premise, though, there’s a lot of fun to be had in the game.  There are a lot of hidden unlockables, there are new little obstacles to get used to each level, and the levels even change after every visit, so it’s never the same thing twice.  Anyway, enough of my gushing.  If you have a smartphone that supports it, I definitely recommend this game.

So much for daily updates…

Oh well. I’ll get the hang of this sooner or later.

In other news, thanks to the wonders of Netflix, I’ve been able to keep up with Chobits, a series I got started on a LONG time ago and haven’t been able to pick up since, all thanks to the sad, untimely death of Geneon. Fortunately, Funimation was able to pick it up and toss it onto Netflix streaming.

One thing I’ve always found interesting about the series is, it’s one of the more detailed portrayals of what life would be like with humanoid androids. And we’re getting closer to realizing the kind of technologies we’d need to atually bring that sort of thing to life. (Kinect, for example.)

Makes yah think…
