Week of Almost No Gaming

On 08/03/2015 at 02:33 AM by KnightDriver

I only played some Minecraft on Monday and nothing else the rest of the week. I was at a car show all day Sunday, so nothing on the weekend either. Actually, I did bring my 3DS with me to the car show for street passes, but I haven't had time to check it yet. I'm looking forward to Tuesday when I pick up Etrian Odyessy Untold 2 and Rare Replay. I think I might pick up an Xbox One later in the week too.

In other media: I listened to a bunch of 1994 music and watched most of the first disc of Batman The Animated TV show. I'm reading about the Beat writers: Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs in The Rolling Stone Guide to the Beats, and I started an audio book on J.T. "Stonewall" Jackson, Rebel Yell. I'm not a big Civil War buff, but I am a fan of writer S.C. Gwynne, whose first book, Empire of the Summer Moon, I read a few years ago and thought was really great. It was about the ragged, brutal frontier, plains Indians,Texas Rangers, and all that stuff.

That's about it.

My mom bought Minecraft for me so I can help her when she teaches her kids with it. Game sure does like to throw a lot of shit at you right out of the gate ...

Yea, and not tell you how to make stuff. But I guess that's just part of it. It was like that from the beginning.

I really need to read (and write) more western novels!

I want to take a western and make it scifi. The old west is cool, but on Arcturus it's even cooler.

I'm gonna write a Batman Western sooner or later.

Sooner please.

"Batman Versus Billy the Kid"

How does that sound?

Just avoiding your question. . . Lone Ranger and Batman are kinda the same thing, aren't they.

08/07/2015 at 05:06 AM

I don't know much about Lone Ranger, but Bruce Wayne was inspired by Zorro to create Batman.

Urban cowboy, Batman is. Cue Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band song of same name.

I'm back in the collecting Mii's mode. I like to thank Ultimate Angler for this. I know you were wanting a lens for the car show, but did you take any cool shots?

08/12/2015 at 04:26 AM

I took a lot of car shots with my zoom all the way down at 36mm. It doesn't distort much, but a little. I really wanted a wide view with some crazy distortion. I did work on a type of shot where the car of interest is in the foreground and the rest of the show is shown behind it. It was an interesting compositional exercise. I have the unedited shots on Flickr. I should edit them, but it's time consuming and I'm not finding time for it right now. Cars reflect a lot of light that throws the camera's sensors off kilter.
