Sometimes we look back, and see the world as it was through new and different eyes. Sometimes this gives us that gloss of nostalgia, and it's a bittersweet but enjoyable reflection.
Other times we wonder about M Linden's Twitter feed and we get unbearably depressed. Kingdon never, never, ever understood SL. At all. Saddest thing in the history of sad Linden things, and something that Second Life is still struggling with, months after he left.
In happier news--or at least weirder--a couple of folks have come out with a Minecraft hack that allows you to 'roll up' the world, aka Katamari Damacy. It's bizarre to watch.
In video game news, the Supreme Court, led by the landmark decision of Justice Scalia, voted against a California law that would require government-level restrictions on the sales of video games to minors. While I profoundly believe that some games should be restricted by ratings to exclude sales to people under certain ages--just as we do with movies--I am also profoundly against such restriction to be based around existing obscenity laws. And it turns out, Justice Scalia agrees with me. Yay!
Comics, Everybody! explains how the Green Lantern saga couldn't possibly be explained in one movie. I think that's my biggest complaint, honestly--that they not only tried, but that they then did such a bad job that there will never be another Green Lantern movie.
(Unless, you know, kids are involved.)
In scientific news, Markus Kayser has built two amazing devices, both designed to use what the harsh climes he's currently in have in abundance: namely, sun and sand. It's fascinating stuph, and, while purely in the realm of scientific possibility, I'm rather with the writer--who views them as "magical".
Meanwhile, God still pops up now and again with odd requests:
I love your supple back: emmmmm
I love your supple back: play tf2
I love your supple back: i wont stab you in the back
I love your supple back has changed their name to i want to stab you in the back.
Needless to say, I did not go play TF2.

Hehe, the Katamaricraft is amusing. XD And I have such mixed feelings on the video game situation that it would take forever to go in detail about. e.e; But the short end, I'll probably throw a party when they stop whinning about violent videogames and kids.
LOL towards the team fortress thing. Might wanna check out this too - Just a lil heads up, really cute (but yer typical PVPing type MMO) popped up recently MicroVolts which is a dolly themed game. Might wanna check it out.

Apparently, ALL the people I live with want me to join MicroVolts now. :p
Myahaha. You should. XD I enjoy it a lot. I'm Sereni if you happen to run into me.
I'll likely download the program tonight, see if I can figure it out.
