Dead Blog is Dead

Yeah, well, so what?

Anyway, here are a bunch of gaming terms that I hate.

1) SKU. Fuck SKU. Cars don't do SKU, and there's a metric fuckton of those. "Hay, guess what? The new BMW X-series now comes in an optional 5 liter engine!" or "Hay, guess what? The new BMW X-series now has a new SKU with a 5 liter engine!"

2) RTM. Read the manual? No no, release to manufacturing. You only get to say this if you (a) are a game developer, (b) are a game project manager, or (c) work in a disc replication factory. Otherwise? IT MEANS READ THE [FUCKING] MANUAL.

3) Shmup. Shoot 'em up. Shooter. Shmup sounds like the poor slob you just spilled soup on.

4) Squeenix. Square-Enix. If you really need a shorter version, try Square, since it headed the acquisition.

5) Shiggy. He's not your pet dog and you aren't having beers with him on occasion. Shigeru Miyamoto in English. For the love of GOD.

That's all for that.

Anyway, check this shit out. It's called Drawball. Basically it's a big shared oekaki board. I tried it. I suck at art.

Last, I got new jewelry. A circular barbell. It's fucking huge. I'm nervous about wearing it in public. I think it might make an indentation on my pants. That's be kinda lulz.
