Nope, it's moving towards a more mainstream public, complete with party games, worthless gimmicks and unoriginal and easy gameplay. Thankfully there are games like LBP that try to do things differently. I'm so buying that game.

Adobe is so dramatic! lol

Where did you come up with your username
Indeed I am reviving one of the most over done topics on the BBS but whatever. Mine is my first name "Tom" and my last names short version "mattox" (mattinson)

Because I can't imagine the guys from Adobe being particularly entertaining public speakers.

I'd imagine them being pretty good at it. Big companies with lots of money can afford decent speakers.

If only they could afford fair pricing outside of the states :/

New Computer
alright guys after all im not gonna build my own PC. maybe later when I'm older and would actually have use for a crappy computer for some reason. but now i prefer not to risk it by buying expensive components on my first PC. So I went to a computer store and had a long talk with the guy who works there, finally i decided to get the following:
i apologise for not having the precise specs cause i left the paper at my dad's

intel dual-core 3.00 ghz
at least 4gb RAM
either 9600gt nvidia graphic card that costs around 160 euros, or another one i forgot the name of which costs 270 euro, so u get the comparison
500gb hard drive
extreme silent cooling system
windows vista OEM

and more that i can't remember. im probably gonna sell the computer i have right now, cause the guy said that since it's not a gaming computer there are too many parts that we can't upgrade because the motherboard is inapropriate and the case is too small. i also need to make some fast cash from flash cause it's gonna cost me at least 800 euro. i might need ur guys' help :(

armorgames refused to sponsor my puzzle, they said that since the majority of their visitors are kids, such a puzzle game might not be as popular for the age group. i think i might take all the old shit i haven't completed and finish it quickly and put mochiads on all of them. i really don't like mochiads though, it seems like it's not gonna get me a lot of money.

Sounds awesome, I bet it's about EU800 though right? :/

Creative Gaming
LBP does look absolutely brilliant.. Spore's main concept is user creation too, but it's a different sort of creation.. it's the content that is user-defined whereas the gameplay is predefined, whereas with LittleBigPlanet the whole thing is user-created! I guess it's a platformer at it's core, but there's so much you can do with it.

Dual Monitor (Xeptic)
Very nice, I want to try that with the 24" hdtv I have on the wall next to my PC but my monitor lead is too short xD It'd be useless except for watching movies and stuff, but a proper dual monitor setup is brilliant. By "proper" I mean side-by-side screens, seamless.. essentially a resolution of something like 3200x1100 xP

A proper dual screen setup would be great indeed. I have a full HD at 32 inch, which is absolutely rubbish for everything but watching movies and games, using it as a second monitor hurts my eyes :/

Actually it has been about a month since I stopped spamming the lounge, and I never really did it a lot. A while ago me and FCM had a few back to back posts but recently I've been trying hard to not do so, in fact I've realized that a lot of your posts are just as, if not more pointless than a lot of mine. Please, don't take it wrong, you're a good user but... well... I should shut up now.

Oi! Don't unveil my hypocrisy that was performed by me accusing you of hypocrisy. Also no backseat modding or Kayn will cut you. Or maybe just bite you. Either way shush.

Where did you come up with your username

Sorry ive always hated your name =P i really don't know why. i always just think tomatoes and if you have tomatoes for a username it would the stupidest fucking thing ever.

Sorry that i fail at quoting. the whole tommatox (mattinson) part should be quoted.

Also i got my NG gear today :3 check it:

Saying that backseat modding is a bannable offence is a bannable offence. However, saying that saying that backseat modding is a bannable offence is a bannable offence is also a bannable offence, so I guess I'm in troubles now :(

I hope it made sense.

Stop being mean about peoples usernames, you can't change them now can you? Lol.. my original was DEADSiM2. Hurray for being 13/14!

Awesome, I might buy an NG t-shirt.. there's a few that look absolutely awesome. This, this and this. Also, I think I need a penicorn plushie - $15?!!?!?! Absolutely awesome. How long did it take to come for you? And was there any additional postage or anything for England?

PM Wade about it, he can do something about it, the other admins have better things to do though.

I see no penicorns! What is wrong with you!

I support a football team called millwall, I abbreviated it to Mw then added it to my name, in the end I got MwMike.

Liam: I think there is a few extra quid for shipping into UK but not much.

I believe that's what he's saying. Uh oh.

By the way, just a tip for any of you guys who buy gear from the store while you're at some form of NG booth wherever: TRY THAT SHIT ON BEFORE YOU BUY IT! I was way too stupid and now the only things worth my while is the penicorn. My Agnry Faic Shirt was too small. Also, someone seems to have thrown away my Explosion Shirt to best of my knowledge. Well, all my stickers are still all in tact too (and unplaced).

I'm just questioning what some people think when they see my Penicorn. What could possibly be going through their mind.

Hmm, judging by the settings and the placing of the sun today, I would say they would think:

"lolpenicorn"

No, I just think Wade has more to do with the BBS while most of the other admins have more to do with the scripting, I just worded it wrong.

Nah the specs I posted last page are of the computer I'm planning to buy. But unless I manage to sell my current computer for a good price, i won't be able to afford the new one. i ran out of juiceplz money :p if i ever buy it however, it will be truly orgasmic.

yea im sure it will in the best way possible, and you should keep you old PC incase the new one fails, i got a 'gaming PC' on 64bit vita and the motherboard failed its been months now cos its being rebuilt and you cant go without a PC, unless you have a laptop or similar that is.

DING!

Yeah... instead of ranting on my blog I ranted in a letter and sent it to my paper. I didn't expect them to actually publish it though.
