I'm back.

I'm going to try to blog for an extended period again. No promises.

Random Thoughts VI

In the Legend of Zelda game series, why does everyone think Link always wins? Sure he 'defeats' Ganon(dorf) but he dies later at an unspecified point and must be reincarnated, whereas Ganon just escapes and tries again. Zelda also dies. If this always happens, shouldn't it follow that Ganon will always return, but Link will one day fail to appear. If the Goddesses don't intervene soon enough, e.g. Windwaker, then with the Triforce he could achieve the powers of a god himself. Therefore, Ganon has yet to lose. Except in Windwaker, Zelda II, and Twilight Princess... but there are about a million ways for them to get him to return. Seriously, do they think we like Vaati? Or Majora? Or that Squid of Doom, Bellum? Or Onyx? Or Veran? Or the Nightmares? ... Maybe killing Tingle would be fun for a while.

Unknown to Reogan

I need some suggestion of video games and characters from video games to get reogan into, I feel he needs to broaden his horizens and I get the feeling he'd like the G Man from Half-Life, for reogan see this video as an example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vk8IdP-upKY

My bookshelf at a glance.

Yes, I'm sure you're wondering what my bookshelf looks like. The picture below is probably what most of you would imagine.

(No, I am not mentally ill. Much.)

But the amount of blood upon ones bookshelf is not representative of its value. No, that lies in the tomes upon it. On my bookshelf I have a shelf organization system that works as follows;

1. 
   
   
   
   Books I absolutely cannot live without.




2. 
   
   
   
   Long series I absolutely cannot live without.




3. 
   
   
   
   Books that would cause me to become comatose if I lost.




4. 
   
   
   
   Good books.




5. Everything else. Books I'll read every few years or less.

My top shelf is also like a 'featured authors' section. This consists of my favorite authors. Tamora Pierce, Jonathan Stroud, Garth Nix, et cetera, and a few 'filler' books. I have some old favorites from my childhood on the second shelf like Deltora Quest, and Redwall. As is evident I have a deep love for fantasy, and the more 'dark' books. Speaking of Dark, I have half a shelf devoted to Poe. In my opinion his poetry was only bested by Dickinson's. I do not, repeat, DO NOT read sci-fi. I am Met's equal opposite in the realms of literature. (Except for Deltora Quest. We both used to love those.)

Return

If Reogan starts posting, so do I. April is Support OCR Month, sorry I missed it, thread is located at http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15544.

Ahhhh, Spring... *Vomit*

Ahhh, yes. It's that time of the year again. The children are finishing school to be released on our helpless world, the elder students are attempting to study a school year's worth of material in a few hours, parents and grandparents once again assert their belief that spring cleaning is good for the soul, and deer begin to eat expensive and recently potted plants.

Isn't spring glorious?

Don't you just love how people insist they love the season, due to their preconceived notions, and none of them realize that they're doing nothing but more work than ever before? Such is the perverted nature of humankind. As long as no one expects help I'll live. In related news; buildings ruined by the harsh winter are leaking. Yay spring... Hurricane season is starting. Yay... spring... rabid squirrel attacks are beginning. Yay! Spring!

Finally, I need more to post about than how everything is annoying. Ideas are welcome.

Finally-er, I will attempt to resume my nearly consistent daily posting.

Observing The Nation

The United State of America has an intresting history. I can't help but wonder what people in other countries say about us in priviate conversations, or what people will say 100 years from now (assuming the world lasts that long). What will we be viewed as, when we analyze history we can conclude that the cause of an event might have been some little thing at the time, but it triggered a massive effect later on. What will people see us as in history? What do other nations see this nation as being right now? Again this is partailly based off a thread that orginated from www.ocremix.org called Our Place in History, but it kind of turned into an offtopic discussion about the writers strike. This is ment to provoke new discussion on the topic, let's hear it.

Switching Over

I've decided to start devoting all my blogging time to this blog. My personal blog still exists, it will serve as a decent archive. I will not miss any posts on it since I get email alerts, but I'm dedicated to keeping this site rather pleasant. I will still post on my own blog, only less... like maybe once a month:( but hey! This is a sweet blog and I'll see what I can do because Reogan does have a life *gasp* This is mainly an informative post, but I'm open to comments.

OverClockedRemix post #2

This is my second main post centered on http://www.ocremix.org/, the first was on my blog. Some good game remixes to check out on your first visit should mainly be from games you've played before. I have found that it almost is cooler if you hear a remix before hearing the game's music because it makes it seem more orginal. Some of the most popularly remixed games are worth checking out. I really like all the Chrono Trigger tracks and Chrono Symphonic (the OCR album for Chrono Trigger). It has nearly 100 remixes so far. Fianl Fantasy 7 has amazing music as well. The Final Fantasy album project is the biggest one yet and has some of the best music I've ever heard. Most of the album tracks are also available using http://www.ocremix.org/, but all the tracks are at the albums home page which is http://ff7.ocremix.org/tracks/. There are lots of other albums worth checking out, the link to most of those albums is at the ocremix home page. This site deserves a lot of attention mainly because it's a cool place to hang out and the music downloads are completely legal and free.

Announcement

I just got Reogan's email. I've arrived. Am I by any means qualified for this?
