Whoa, it's been a while.

My Korea trip turned out a lot more hectic than it should have been (mainly because, uh, I forgot to apply to graduate school early), and the Alley's been swatting flies. In a highly abstract sort of way. But I'll finally be home next week, and this place should start rolling again. I'll probably clean up that previous post, too - what a ramble.

Some things have happened in the last month that I might have talked out, such as the increasing dominance of the new Securom (badder, stronger, etc) or the aftermath of Fallout 3 actually coming out. Maybe I might get on that, or talk about some wackier things. Like AMVs. Or Mods.

Until then, my little furry friends.

And you guys.

Ten days in Korea, and well, it turns out I don't have internet. Not yet, anyway. So I got very little in my head right now, besides several personal concerns.

Anyway. Korea. Interesting place. As I expected, and as a lot of you probably know, a lot of internet cafes. A lot of kids and some adults playing... Starcraft, World of Warcraft, Warcraft 3, Lineage, and maybe some football games and whatnot. It's not too surprising, actually. If you're going to play in internet cafes ("PC Bang"), then you're always going to gravitate towards multiplayer games where you can hold mini-LAN parties. I've been heckled by more than one gang of high-school buddies who rent out a section and scream and yell for hours over counter-strike or such. Sitting here, it would feel kind of weird to play a traditional single-player RPG or longer-paced games like Civilisation.
