I Have A Quick Question


E3 occurred last month, and at that convention many video games were announced which many people still have questions about.  However there is one game that was announced last week that I have one question about, a questions who's answer may decide whether or not I end up buying this game.

The Witcher: Battle Arena is a MOBA coming to iOS, Android, and Windows Phone ‘soon’


Will there be fucking?

Satire?


As a self identified satirist, the kind of satire I go for is straight-faced satire.  This is the kind of satire that is told in such a convincing manner that you don't know whether it's real or not.  This can involve slight exaggerations, connections between people that, while reasonable, are false, and other forms of creative fiction, otherwise known as lying.  I also appreciate when this kind of satire is deftly pulled off by others.  This can also create problems.  Sometimes I read something that I think sound completely reasonable, but also contains slight exaggerations that could make it satire.  Slight exaggerations can happen organically in our society, just follow the local politics in your area for examples of that, but deft satirists can make it so that slight exaggerations of facts, people, and situations can be seen as alone could not happen but collectively are completely reasonable, even sometimes expected.

I Wrote an Amazon Bestseller in a Week


I legitimately cannot tell if this is satire or not.  If it is, bravo John Blumenthal for pulling off some great satire.  If it isn't, bravo John Blumenthal for actually being a successful self published writer on Amazon, something that I have yet to accomplish.

Staycation, All I've Ever Wanted


Since I'm not taking a formal vacation this year, I have a lot of leave time saved up from work.  I could use this time to go to a concert or other event, but that would require me to increase my entertainment budget, which is something I'm not doing as a pursue Project Buy A House.  I could stay home.  There's a lot of good TV that I have on my DVR, my Media PC is filled with movies, and I have books that I own but have never actually read.  I could take a week, or two, and indulge myself with all of the different forms of media that I have at my disposal.  I don't even have to curl up with a nice bottle of booze, the books will be intoxicating enough.  Staycations never really appealed to me before, but they seem to now.

Anti-gay group plans Salt Lake conference in 2015

I have my eye on late October 2015 for my staycation.  Something tells me there's something I want to stay in town in order to see.  Hopefully it won't be snowing hard at that time.  Snow makes protests difficult.
