I don't know if you've noticed, but this blog has been abandoned.I've been blogging on my own personal site at http://www.patricksrealm.com - so stop on by, if you feel so inclined!

After some consideration I came to the conclusion that my Friday Smorgasboard was crap - and I'm sure you're thinking the same. So I decided to put it out of it's misery and let the girl sleep.Instead, I'll dedicate myself to posting on Fridays. Seems like a simplier, more readable solution.Anyway, back to more important things (my life), Darlene and I have been busy this week not seeing each

Well, it's another Monday. Not any worse than the ones before it, but not any better, either. Such is life. If I don't make the best of it soon I'll end up going home in a bad mood. Although I'm sure this project I'm suppose to be working on will do that anyway, so why fight it?Because I should, freakin-A! Screw you!See? I'm already getting hostile.So tonight is Holloween and Trick-or-Treat in

Last night Darlene and I got dressed up and went to the preview of new loft appartments in Pittsburgh by the river (I'm not telling you which river! Ha! We got three of 'em, too, so good luck, buddy!). A friend of ours asked us to attend, so since we're suckers we went.We didn't have enough money to rent the cheapest appartment. Heck, we didn't have enough money to pick up a coffee on the way

For a while now everywhere I turn I see references to country music. It's as if everyone in Pittsburgh got bit by the country bug. Heck, even Darlene and I listened to a country music station recently. Voluntarially. There is a new country-themed bar in Pittsburgh (Saddle Ridge), friends are talking about country... there are a few more signs, too, that my tired pea-brain can't recall

My sister-in-law is visiting this weekend. She runs her own business and has a trade show to attend this weekend. I would plug her company, however since I get a little 'crazy' once in a while, I'd rather not taint her site with a link from me. That would be like the CIA offering free, public, private e-mail services. Well, not as bad. At any rate, I got up early this morning. Like before 6am. I

This morning while I was pulling out of the garage I turned the wheel too soon and I put a huge dent in my front left of my driver's side. I just had a similar dent fixed on the back of my driver's side!So I'm pretty angry, so I need to toot my own horn a bit:You should take the Sci-Fi character quiz. They have sci-fi personas from Babalyon 5, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings and more.And while I'm

If you've gone to Penny Arcade you should know this already (but don't go now - their server is getting slammed), but apparently Thompson was only kidding about giving money to charity!He has such a sense of humor!So, once again, to prove my theory right, he is babbling away to get more attention. I would stop listening to what he has to say if I didn't get so annoyed with his banterings.

That's not news at all! I'm sorry, everyone. False alarm.Read this first - I don't even want to paraphrase it...If someone produced 'I hate Patrick Waddingham' tee-shirts and constantly slammed me on their personal web site, I could tell the cops, too. They would look at me, nod, say 'We'll look into it' and then take a big bite out of a doughnut, not because they are lazy or fat, but because

I like to be civil about things - it's the only way important, intelligent information is spread. However, I can't help but laugh while pointing at Jack Thompson. For those of you just tuning in, Jack Thompson is an attourny from Florida that has started a crusade against video games because (in my opinion, mind you) he is getting old and is trying to justify his life's work in his field.

Between the 13th and 15th years of my life I spend 2 summers working on a Christian camp ground washing dishes. Every week-day the head cook prepaired a different meal for everyone on the grounds. On Sunday we would have a freezer full of leftovers. So on Sunday we brought out all of the good leftovers and had a Sunday Smorgasboard.So I'm going to give it a go and have a 'Friday Smorgasbord' (

Since I felt like it, here is a review of a web-game named N from Metanet Software.A lot of gamers are at a crossroads. They see pretty pictures down one very wide road, and great gameplay down a small, unkept and poisonous-scorpion-covered path. Most feed the machine by taking the easy route, while a small group will travel down the path and play great games such as N from Metanet

Slashdot has been reporting news about the 13-year-old that was sharing MP3s online who got into legal trouble from the RIAA. At first legal actions where being taken against the mother, Candy Chan. She claimed that she couldn't be held responsible for her daughters actions. This prompted the RIAA to sue the child, Brittany, directly. However they said that the (now) 14-year-old could not be

The Stalk Market hit - total we got nearly 1.6 million bells out of a 210,000 bell investment. Don't you wish that this would occur in real life? You and me both...Darlene took the Tickle IQ test and scored 129. For those of you just tuning into the IQ channel, that's pretty good - as in the top ~7% of the population. I'd imagine she would score a little lower if she took a full test, but I'd

Well big-time geeks all across the world rejoiced yesterday as Peter Jackson announced he agreed to do the Halo movie. If you don't know what I just said you don't desrve to know (although it's easily explained by saying the director of Lord of the Rings is making a movie based on the best-selling Microsoft game). Geeks love Peter Jackson. Geeks love Halo. The combination of both gives the

Honestly, I have no idea what it is. But they are having an open beta test (I think it's open - we'll see!) so I will probably hop on it. It is a classic-fantasy setting that has a few new ideas

Now that's an inovation I'd like to buy! Wonder if the chick comes with it - would make a complete package. Could call it the porn-station. The Raw Feed has posted an entry about a Japan-made computer desk for people to use in a bed. It has pratical applications, like people who where recently hospitalized and people who need to look at porn, but I think introducing it to America and Japan is

This week the Escapist online magazine has themed itself to guilds (or teams or clans or what-have-you). In their Casual Friday segment there is an article titled The Challenge of Next Generation Game Design. This is a response to this article:It is very hard to find a good guild to join in any MMO.

I read an article on BBC about online gamers. The article is in response to China's new law that prevents people from playing more than 3 hours a day on an online game, mainly RPGs.As is the new trend for me, I'll be telling you what I think. You can tell me what you think in the comments section, but I might not reed it.The first guy, Li Yang, is an addict. I don't have much to say about him
