“Thank you for a memorable afternoon, usually one must go to a bowling alley to...”
– Day 05 — Your favorite quote
I don’t really treat quotes as a source of inspiration, as much as I do a solid source of plagarism when I’m trying to be witty. The movie Arthur is full of such quotes worth stealing, so I thought I’d steal one for my Day 05 obligation.

My triumphant return to Tumblr / 30 Day Challenge
I love Tumblr, and yet I never use my Tumblr. That’s going to change right now. And what’s the best way to commit to something? To participate in a trendy internet challenge! Inspired by my good friend Xav, I’m going to try to finish the Tumblr 30 Day Challenge. Can I do it? Is my attention span that strong? Let’s find out together! Here’s the breakdown should...

PR Foot in mouth disease
This is an actual email conversation that occurred in the last 24 hours. I'm flattered that they wanted to stroke my ego, but it totally backfired on them. Names have been removed so as to not make me a mean douche.
**Last Night**
Jim: Just following up as we're only an hour from the event and I haven't received a code. Any chance you may still have one available?
**This Morning**
PR: Sorry for the confusion the part about the code was a typo. I hope you had fun last night – *name removed* and *name removed* were saying how good you were!
Jim: Actually, I didn't make it last night. Thought there was a code I'd need.
I have 470 Microsoft points. I’ve decided to blow them all on Indie games. Time to see what the community’s been cooking!
Need a few good assignments from my favorite client to get me motivated today. As it stands, I’m ditching paid work to play ODST.
Look kids — I`m a victim of identity fraud! Ugh.. This may turn in to a long day at the bank.
Every comic book cover... EVER. →
Joomla and Firefox just killed an hour’s worth of my work. I’m fucking livid.
“A legally insane killer was on the loose in the state of Washington on Saturday,...”

Just woke up to some exciting possibilities. Absolutely on cloud 9. Details forthcoming once we see where this goes.
The Apple Store can suck my dick
Me: I just travelled two hours to get here. What do you mean you can't look at my iPod? I took a fucking train.
Concierge: I'm sorry sir, but you can book an appointment to speak with a Genius on Sunday.
Me: I TOOK A FUCKING TRAIN.
Any Halo fans in the hizzy?
I’m off to an ODST preview this afternoon. If there’s anything you’d like me to ask, now’s the time to tell me!
“If the word ‘cybercrime’ conjures up images of computer geeks trying...”
– Actually CNN, the word cybercrime doesn’t conjure that image for anybody. Not even my mother, whose basement I crash computers in all day long. (from CNN)
On Apple Stores and Winnipeg
me: so my shitty iPod is being shitty again,.
me: going to go to Toronto early tomorrow and bitch at the Apple Store, see if they'll swap it out there.
Dan: I harbor such hatred towards those stores cause they call those tech support people "geniuses"
me: I harbor hatred towards them because they only have 5 in canada, and 4 of them are in toronto.
Dan: lol, really?
Dan: well, be glad you don't live in Winnipeg
me: Dan, I wake up every morning with that thought in my head.
There goes my half-written script for Point Break 2.
Remember that "meeting" I said was happening on...
Just about to leave for it now. Don’t get too excited folks — it’s just one small cog in a much bigger project. Still, it feels good to finally get this thing off the ground.
Secretive Jim is secretive. :)
Batman lives in a cave. Osama bin Laden lives in a cave. Ergo, Osama bin Laden is Batman.
Things that just dawned on me
Millions of people now read what I write. MILLIONS. This isn’t bragging. It’s a paralyzing though. I’m now terrified.
Gamezebo now has a tumblr acct. Please follow. ... →
Think I'm getting a cold..
Productive day so far, but I’m starting to feel like crap. Gonna take a little nappy.
Thought for the Day
Great ideas are great. I just had one. It was great.
Thought for the Day
Writing outside of your comfort zone is twice as challenging, but ten times as rewarding.
How The Beatles got Ringo...
Jennifer: For the first time at my house, we had all four instruments going on Rock Band the other night.
me: you didn't hire hobos, did you?
Jennifer: Of course I did. Little known fact, but that's actually how Ringo got into the band in the first place.
I had the girls from work over. We were like a shitty chick version of a band.
me: Oh -- so it was EXACTLY like The Beatles.
Jennifer: Hahah, hi-yo
WatchGuess what kids? Starting today, yours truly will be the star of a daily 12second video series linking to reviews on Gamezebo. Follow us on 12seconds.tv and check it out!
Pretty stoked
One of my pet projects is coming off the back burner. Going to a meeting on Monday. Should have a great article by Tuesday. Hopefully I can find someone to publish the damned thing. Working on it. Working on it.
Fell off the weight loss train HARD last month..
Today is weigh-in, vitamins, and WiiFit. Wish a brother luck!
WatchI’m on at the 7:01 mark, but seriously, watch the whole show. Bytejacker is hands down the #1 thing I look forward to online every week.
053 – Everyone, Even Aliens →
My current, quiet obsession has been to get on Bytejacker. Not only did it happen this week, but it ended up serving as fodder for some on camera Carboni goodness. Plus I think this week’s show title might be a reference to my little segment (Kang and Kodos have boards with nails in them, dammit!)
So yeah, my day is off to a kick ass start. You’d better believe I’ll be trying...
Little reasons I love my life
When most people are interested in a game they play the demo, read some reviews, and break out their wallets.
When I’m interested in a game I play the demo, email the developers, get a review copy, then get asked to interview the creators.
I fucking LOVE my life.
