Valve took my steam account!

What the hell are they doing!?

Ticket posts go unanswered so far… I wanna play games dammit! And no, i didn’t do anything wrong. Not knowingly anyway…

Bah! 60 Paid for titles and no dicking around in 6 years. What did i do to deserve this

Tremendous response!

Thanks all for your ideas and comments. A while ago i posted an article here asking you to comment on my progress with groups in AdRotate. Give me ideas, tips. Tell me your wishes.
The result: 1 comment asking for something unrelated. Hooray!

Seriously. one!

So i guess i have to figure it out by myself and watch the flurry of tickets appear when you lot try to use the system.
With such great responses… There is one thing missing; A whole lot of motivation.

So i’m not sure when it will be ready. I’d rather play Grand Theft Auto and EvE online at the moment.

The gates are closed!

So last night in Eve Online, i was going to pick up some modules and gear for my new ship in a usually crowded area of the game. But with the new Expansion it was so crowded that Concord shut down the gates and let people in only 1 by 1.

Somewhat of a waiting line built up quickly.

In the pic, the round tubular spiky thing in the middle is the gate to Jita, from Perimeter. Perimeter is the adjoining solar system.
Around it are quite a few huge cargo ships and maybe a hundred smaller ships. All trying to get through. Concord, the police force in Eve, let no one in for a bit because it was too crowded in Jita.

Eventually i got in too. No you can’t see me in the pick but i’m right in the middle. THe other ships were so big i had to zoom out far enough to get them in. Making my ship smaller than a pixel… I was in my fastest frigate after all.

Pretty Mining Op in Eve Online!

Somewhere in the middle is a Capital Industrial Ship, called “orca”. It’s large, has lots of storage space.
Around it are me and some mates mining away at the asteroids scattered in this area. The yellow beams are mining lasers destroying the asteroid belt! HARR!!

We’re gonna make millions today!

The next step for iTunes…

Now that iTunes has a great Application manager. What would be the next step for iPhone apps and iTunes.

I think a logical new feature would be to run apps IN iTunes. Especially on laptops with multitouch touchpads this would work very well. For navigation tasks you just point and click with a mouse. But for more complex things like playing a game with virtual joypads the multitouch features of the newer laptops are perfect. How you would achieve this on other Macs? Say iMac or even a PC (ew)… No idea. Perhaps a USB tablet thing like a Wacom tablet could leverage there. Or even just Key controls like traditional games do.

So, what do i want? Well… I’ve got some really nice games on my iPhone. Mini-Gore, Assassins Creed, Hero of Sparta etc. Also i have a great App for learning Japanese and many more… Wouldn’t it be great if i could run those in a sort of “video style window” in iTunes.

I do realize that a laptop monitor by no means is the same as a iPhone screen but with the nice graphics of most apps i’m sure you could easily double the resolution/screensize to make it look better on a computer screen and still know what’s what without wading through pixelated rubbish.
