- Ok, time to nap some more until NA Servers come up… #D3 #
- Error 37, yeah I knew it was going to happen, but I did it anyway. LOL T_T #D3 #error37 #
- #Error37 got you down? Is #D3 F-D? Let these ebooks be your Diablo 3 Error 37 companions! http://t.co/iER0QosB #
- Not the thinking man's guide to #error37 but if you're a cosplayer it might help pass some time waiting for #D3 http://t.co/tWAEFsVH #
- LOL, nothing like a little shameless self promotion waiting out #error37 OMG Kawaii Desu!! #D3 http://t.co/bVH4Q5Ed #
- The number 37 now takes its place alongside 42 in the nerd lexicon! #error37 #D3 #
- Finally got into #D3 now I keep getting disconnected, during combat. LOL, death… Try again later… #

Diablo III: Oh hai!
Hey look, the Diablo III installer downloaded overnight. Thanks Santa! LOL, can’t install it yet, but soon. I don’t usually get swept away with the hype, but I did play the open beta a bit and I think on this occasion I’ll make an exception. I think my work over the next few days is going to be waaaay distracted.

- LOL, am I a bad person for wanting to sell stuff to the #NATO protesters? People get thirsty ya know! #NATOcalypse #
- Oooh so tempting to buy Diablo III, but I'm a cheap-ass gamer with no time. Still peer pressure is a b*tch! #
- Maybe I'll just play Tera until the Diablo III launch rush dies down a bit. #
- New JManga layout is nice, but still no iPad app. Until then, here's a work around. http://t.co/EzNn8iaw #ipad #manga @JManga_official #
- OK, I guess I'm done with Final Fantasy XIV. It just keeps crashing with Direct X disconnect errors. Total POS!!! Goodbye Square Enix. #
- Now that Final Fantasy XIV has thoroughly broken my heart, time to rebound and join the Diablo III party I guess… #vidya #

Final Fantasy XIV: SMH SMH…
A week ago I was feeling adventurous and decided to give Final Fantasy XIV a shot. It was only $19.99 and while I had heard that the launch was a total disaster, the game had undergone a lot of changes, fixes, and improvements since that time. I figured that the 30 day free period would be enough time to see if Eorzea was a place I’d be taking up residence.
One week later and I am totally frustrated and disgusted. I can’t even get into the game past the opening tutorial level because it keeps crashing with a Direct X error. I’ve tried running windowed, full screen, and turned off anti-aliasing to no avail. While I suppose there is some solution that might allow me to continue, this is just ridiculous. I can’t believe Square Enix started charging the monthly subscription again for a game this broken.
Regardless of their reasoning with the big 2.0 relaunch coming up, you can just let bugs like this stay in the code and charge money for it. At this point I’ve lost all hope and respect for Square Enix. I won’t likely be returning to this game, and I’ve also canceled my Final Fantasy XI account.
I really wanted to play and love this game, but it won’t even let me get started.

OMG Kawaii Desu!
It really feels good to have finally gotten OMG Kawaii Desu!: A parent’s guide to anime, manga, and cosplay out the door! I started working on the book over a year ago so this baby was already way overdue, LOL! The book is intended to be an instructive tranquilizer for parent’s whose children have gotten into anime, manga, and/or cosplay. It’s the sort of guide meant to read while waiting for your kids at an anime convention. Over the years, I’ve met a number of parents and grandparents in this role. Many really aren’t sure what this stuff the kids are into is all about. This short guide seeks to answer those questions, and, I hope, encourage parents to join the party!
The book is now available on the Kindle for $1.99 or free to borrow for Amazon Prime members. So check it out and leave a review or rating to let me know what you think. BTW, the cover art is by my totally awesome daughter Vanessa who is herself OMG Kawaii Desu (really cute)!
LOL, Sick Days Sux!
After seeing Avengers on Saturday, I was on top of the world. The next two days I paid for my hubris, LOL. Sick days are terrible, but not just for the pain and fatigue. In addition to that, there’s the humiliation and accusations of weakness heaped upon me by my sometimes Amazonian spouse! The other thing is being totally unable to play any games on this unexpected day off. I’m not really sure which one hurts more. LOL

- Well call me crazy, but I'm installing Final Fantasy XIV! My PC, Constellation should run it just fine. ^_^ #ffxiv #
- I've been reinstalling Final Fantasy XI, no small feat on Win 7 64-bit, and FFXIV is cheap now, so I'll give it at least 30 days. #
- More gaming dim sum for me. Eat a bit of this and a dollop of that. Life's too short not to try everything you can, within reason! LOL #
