There are a few rules and theories that govern the geek universe.

The Even/Odd rule of Star Trek film quality.
The Law of inverse adversarial accuracy.
(Otherwise known as the Storm trooper law)
Etc...

The rule that concerns us today however is one of interactive superhero inferiority.

In simple terms the rule is this

Superhero games suck.

I am a square whore.
There, it's out in the open.

As long as it doesn't contain the words SaGa anywhere in the title I'll play pretty much anything that Squaresoft/EA Square/Square-Enix has released.

After about 20+ years of gaming I think I've got a pretty firm grasp of what I do and don't like about games.
I can usually look at a title and say to myself.

"Self...that game looks like balls. Don't fucking play it!"

Since I got my AppleTV I have been taking advantage of my NetFlix and just converting everything I get from them. This makes it easier to make it worth paying for.

Its more of a drop it in and if I like...it might stay around.

I had the chance to upgrade to either a T-Mobile Dash or a Sidekick and after reading everything about both devices I went with the Dash. This was by far one of the worst decisions I could of possibly of ever made. Let me give you a rundown of all the problems I have had with this device in the 6 months I have actually owned it.

This article, from The St. Petersburg Times, seems ripped straight from the X-Files. I’m always on the look out and researching unexplained mysteries and incidents involving the paranormal and until the 49th anniversary of this event, which was on 02/08/08, I’d never heard of it.

I have been bashing my head around for days trying to figure out what web frameowkr I have wanted to choose. The decision was between Ruby on Rails, Django, and Zope. I have been wanting to find a project to start building. With the reading I have been doing lately...it has motivated me to start doing something.
