Still Alive

Yes, I have been absent from the podcasting world for a long time, but no, I haven't given up on the dream.  I'll fall back on my usual lineup of excuses, like not enough time, nothing to talk about, etc - because they're all true.  But, I'm adding a new one to the list: it's too fucking hot.

This house has the ventilation and insulation quality of a sauna, and it's too miserable to even sleep or walk around, let alone podcast.  So maybe if the temperature in the hallway falls below 90 degrees (not kidding), I'll throw together a quickie.  But until then, it ain't gonna happen.

In other news, E3 started yesterday, with Microsoft's event.  I'm not even slightly interested in the Xbox, and couldn't care less about playing online.  Not to mention that half of their "big game" lineup consists of war games, mech games, and shooters.  Crap, crap, and crap.

The best part of the show was when they demo'd Rock Band.  I should start off by saying that the game barely interests me.  I'm much more into Guitar Hero, and will stick with that franchise as long as it's around.  But after seeing the demonstration last night, it's even more solidified in my mind that Rock Band is a complete clusterfuck.  It sounds like a shitty high school band, with the vocals muddying up the guitar, and the drums muddying up the whole operation.  It's WAY too busy, WAY too complicated and messy, and of course, WAY too expensive.  Total botch.

I don't have much else in store right now, but keep your eyes out for a show in the near future.  Actually, who am I kidding?  No one's reading this.
