School.

When I realize school has started; i’ll be like,
Every class; i’ll be like,
Lunch time comes around; i’ll be like,
Then we have to go back to class; i’ll be like,
Then schools done for the day; i’ll be like,
I realize I have tons of homework; i’ll be like,
Taking 5: Used Games
The used videogames debate is interesting and complicated. The flames were fanned in the ongoing discussion this week when THQ creative director Cory Ledesma spoke to CVG and then Penny Arcade did what they do best. I have been reading the #PAGamesDialog discussion on twitter for the past two days and I have more thoughts than 140 characters can handle.
There are two schools of thought on how to handle used games sales. Reward the people buying new games, or punish those purchasing the games used. It’s the latter that rubs me (and lots of other people) the wrong way. EA has decided to to both, and calls the whole initiative Project Ten Dollar (which is a great name). It serves to counter the GameStop method of charging 5-10 dollars less for used games.
I really like the rewarding half of this concept. EA and Microsoft Games Studio have come up with a clever way of getting people to buy their games new; include DLC inside the package. This goes back all the way to Gears of War 2, when Microsoft included a code for the Flashback Map Pack into every new copy of the game. If you didn’t buy it new those maps cost you 10 dollars. EA did something similar with Mass Effect 2 providing a few bits of DLC to people buying the game new. People didn’t seem to have a problem with this method because a) it feels like a bonus to the new buyer and b) the used player can still play the game that they bought without that DLC.
Senses Fail Post New Song
Senses Fail have posted a brand new track called “Saint Anthony” that will be appearing on their new release, The Fire. Give it a listen here!
“If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95 percent of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95 percent of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference.”

Only a third of Americans say Obama is Christian; almost one in five say he's Muslim →

Via CNN:
“A substantial and growing chunk of the country believes that President Obama, a self-described Christian, is Muslim, while only about a third of Americans are able to correctly identify his religion, according to a survey released Thursday.
Nearly one in five Americans believe Obama is a Muslim, up from around one in 10 Americans who said he was Muslim last year, according to the survey, conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life.
While most of those who think Obama is Muslim are Republicans, the number of independents who believe he is Muslim has expanded significantly, from 10 percent last year to 18 percent now.”
Is it really that difficult to understand? He’s been pretty clear that he was Christian from day one. Not that it matters what religion he is, but considering so many associate Muslim with “bad”, blurring his religious beliefs is likely a political tactic.
Squashed: Christianity and Islam →

I hear that as a Christian I’m supposed to harbor some extreme animosity toward Islam. I hear this both from atheist friends and from certain Christians. I don’t understand it. While I disagree with my Muslim friends on some critical theological points, we have some important areas of agreement….
“If the purpose of this mosque, as we are lead to believe, is to create this tolerant environment, to avoid anything like a 9/11 ever repeating, you have to ask why didn’t one of those 100 [existing] mosques already accomplish such a thing.”

Sarah Palin - politico (via brooklynmutt, liberalsarecool, robot-heart-politics)
Yes, Sarah, you do have to ask that. Despite those 100 existing mosques and who knows how many existing churches, you seem to insist on fostering an intolerant environment. Why?

I find Tumblr to be more free than America. We allow anyone, we don't care if they're illegal, gay, lesbian, bisexual, different races. Tumblr's more of a melting pot of cultures, as if it's own little country. We are the true land of the free.
