All Systems Go Relaunched!

Quick Announcement:

All Systems Go! has been moved and relaunched as "All Systems Go," with hopefully more posts!

(I think the lack of exclamation point really works this time around)

You can find the new blog here:

All Systems Go

An Explanation is in Order...

Dearest All Systems Go!,

I know I haven't been fair to you as of late. In fact it may seem as though I've ignored you, like I've moved on. I know we were in this for the long haul. When this first started, we were both so excited. Man, remember those first posts? All the fun we had, all the laughter, the joy. Now... well....

It may seem like I've not been giving you the attention you deserve. After all, you're my blog. My one and only, right?

...

I'm sorry. This is harder than I thought it would have been... I- I need to be frank with you. I know this will hurt... but it needs to be said:

I've cheated on you.

There's another....another blog I've been writing for- HEY! There's no reason to throw that!

Listen, okay?! Just hear me out!

It wasn't my idea. You see, I've been busy all summer writing for The Light Post (The number one source for all things Lighthouse Project-y!). It's for an internship. I- I thought that maybe if I wrote there, I could get us some exposure, you know? Maybe stir something up... make things exciting again. Get us out on the front lines again.

Look, I know I made a mistake. I never should have abandoned you. It was cruel and wrong of me, and it undermined our entire relationship. You deserve so much better than that.

I-I have no right to start writing here again. I know... I broke your trust. But please, darling, please let me earn it back. I swear, I'll post here often again. I'll use you as more than just a cheap demo for bigger and better things. I'll show you the love and affection you deserve.

I don't expect a response. I don't even expect an apology. Lord knows I don't deserve one. I just... would like another chance. A chance to prove to you just how much you mean to me.

Th-this isn't what I wanted, you know... I wanted us to be happy. I thought.... I don't know what I was thinking...

Just please- Please, baby...give me another chance.

With love,
-Paul

Will All Systems Go! give Paul another chance?
Will she hang him out to dry?

Leaked Beyond Good and Evil 2 Video?

Supposedly, what you saw was a leaked video from Ubisoft's upcoming game Beyond Good and Evil 2. This comes via Kotaku, probably one of the best gaming sites around, so I had to pass it along to all zero of you who read this...

Either this is legit, in which case I'm VERY excited (Beyond Good and Evil, if you recall was on my Top Ten Greatest Games list way back in post 1). Maybe...just maybe, BGE2 will be a sequel worthy of the original. I've been inexplicably wary of the sequel...but this may change my mind back to excitement.

And if this is a fan-made video meant to trick people...then heads will roll.

It's ALIVE!

Well she's back.

After a hard drive failure and a short stay in Best Buy, my trusty laptop has been returned to me. And boy to I have catching up to do!

Regularly scheduled posting (irregularly scheduled is more like it) will resume shortly!

On tap:

-A retrospective on the Islanders season
-A new Website You Should Know
-My new found fascination with Twitter
AND
-My experience at...a metal concert?

Stay tuned!

We are here to mourn...

My computer is dead. 

Bricked. 

K-Oed.

Whatever you want to call it, it's just not working anymore. I'm probably going to lose all my files, but until I hear back from Best Buy, I just won't know. 

Hopefully I can get my computer back in about a week, but things are not looking good (I'm writing on my friends laptop...it's a Mac)

I'll be sure to post once I get my computer back. I have a hockey post ready, but I'll add it once I get my laptop back.

See you all soon.

ASG! Article: Global Domination

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's an review! It's an article!

Well...not quite. It's a review from my school's student paper of Empire: Total War. Give it a read here.

All in all, Empire is an amazing game. The theaters of war are huge, the battles are epic... if you're a strategy gamer, this is your Holy Grail.

Still, a few bugs have popped up since I reviewed the game a week ago. Nothing major, just some strange lag towards the end-game. Also, gamers on Nvidia drivers have been reporting problems, although I've been fine. Supposedly they'll be fixed in the next patch. They're also going to up the AI (which is already stellar) and balance a bit of the gameplay.

Still, no matter, the game is amazing. The best I've played this year for sure. If the bugs worry you, wait until the patch goes live.

Then buy this game.

IST 195- Week 8 Post

If I'm planning on running a company, a web site is a near necessity. Especially if I'm trying to run a small business, having a website would make it much easier to compete with larger companies trying to make the perfect pillow. And where do you get a web site? By registering a domain name through a company like the infamous GoDaddy.

So I did some research. I wanted to see if "www.catchsomezees.com" was available, but alas, it had already been taken by some enterprising entrepreneur. However, "catchzees.com" was available. And for the low low price of $6.45 a month!

This week's lecture explained that a domain name is just an alias for an IP address, and that there's no difference between a .com and a .net or .org. However, for name recognition, everyone seems to prefer a .com over another option.

So when i went looking for a domain name to start my comany's web site, a .com was exactly what I was looking for. CatchZees.com will be the go-to destination for all your cooling pillow needs!

(on a somewhat related note, you'd think that GoDaddy would do a better job of Photoshopping their spokesmodel...seriously, I could do a better job)
