I would kill for a canonical index of every Mario book of facts or remix that ’s ever been made . It would be chiliad of entries over 25 years . Well , I would n’t kill for it . But I would climb up on someone for it .

Someone , I think Pash from Lifehacker , raised a good point yesterday about Pandora . I do n’t know why , but whenever I apply it , I experience like I ’m just playing a game where I seek to decide whether or not a Sung dynasty is bad enough to thumb down so as to not waste all my thumbs down for the hour . I do n’t like this biz .

9:12 AM ON OCT 20 2010
And for you , my friends . A hammy courtesy ofCute Overload .
9:13 AM ON OCT 20 2010
You know , I still prefer albums or hand - pick mix to Pandora – I’m ancient!–but I do like using it at parties and such . Once you teach it a few lessons you may get a very nice eclectic admixture of music without too much novelty nor not enough mixture .
9:17 AM ON OCT 20 2010

I intend at that price , Buchanan would get me a copy just so he has someone new to beat .
I have n’t even played my written matter of Halo : Reach for more than , like , 30 minutes . And I still have n’t beat up Starcraft II single player . And I am still into Minecraft . And I want Kirby . And Civ . There is not enough time .
9:21 AM ON OCT 20 2010
With Rock Band 3 , parable 3 , Fallout New Vegas in the next workweek , it ’s going to be ridiculous .
9:22 AM ON OCT 20 2010
Speaking of games , game on the Mac has been … frustrating . Even Steam has n’t been quite as fast to get people to porthole games over as you ’d require . I wonder if some kind of iOS emulation on the desktop would work for gaming . It ’d at least impart a donkeyload of game to your system .
9:25 AM ON OCT 20 2010

I actually have an article I ’m working on about Mac gaming . The egg is essentially that there call for to be good drivers for OS X. Even if the hardware is n’t as good as cutting edge microcomputer computer hardware , the performance in OS X versus Windows 7 is well-nigh always embarrassingly different .
9:34 AM ON OCT 20 2010
Right . Steam has to get everyone to port to OpenGL , correct ?
9:37 AM ON OCT 20 2010
Also , I wonder what the new iLife changes are going to be . A better iMovie is a MUST , now that everyone is doing so much TV shooting and editing .
9:40 AM ON OCT 20 2010
I do n’t really know the specific of why OSX is crappy for gaming … yet . But I will soon !
9:42 AM ON OCT 20 2010
And yeah , I ’d love a slightly update iMovie , especially one that sync or plays nice or does something with the iOS version , which just is n’t there yet .
9:43 AM ON OCT 20 2010

10:11 AM ON OCT 20 2010
10:12 AM ON OCT 20 2010
I know this is just a presentation , but seeing some guy rope wheel through another soul ’s intimate family moments is always moderately weird . Do you live these mass Phil ? Do they know that you ’re see at their geotagged picture assume in London ?
He says it ’s “ my ” pictures in London . I do n’t see you in them , Phil !
