Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
Remember the time when I went to New York? I got back and talked all about it? I met a girl on bus 79 coming back from Avenue Q. She was Russian. Outright beautiful. Looked to be about my brother's age (14). If my uncle and her grandfather weren't there, I'd have asked her if she'd have liked to grab some coffee.
I wonder how she's doing. She was so pretty, and so smart.
British music videos on YouTube are awesome. No embed failures.

Internal Failure
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
My internet failed last night (insert a "Your Mom" joke here), so that explains that. Internal router error. I'll leave it at that.
I really have no idea what happened. It was down yesterday and fine this morning when I fired up my box.
I believe my mother also thinks I'm depressed and/or crazy. My aunt/grandmother both have some sort of mental disorder in one way or another, so I think that that's made her defensive against the root of all evils, a chemical imbalance. God forbid if I happen to think negatively because she yells at me.
I'm fine. I just don't like getting pushed around every minute because I didn't (or couldn't, as in yesterday) do one little thing. Would you like that?

Working on YouTube
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
I'm starting to hate this box I'm on. It's five years outdated, and slows down games that had relatively low requirements five years ago, when they were launched. It's not a five-year-old budget PC, as far as I can tell.
And it has trouble recording movies for YouTube with ten-year-old games.
This is saddening. I'm working on it.
Maybe not to this level of awesome computing power, but something where I'm able to create a good-looking video that isn't a forty-second, two gig one would be nice.

Waiting and Grandparents
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
I love my grandparents -- who doesn't? They're nice, understanding, loving, wise, generally everything that a grandparent should be.
Except, they're getting up there in years, which saddens me.
I remember when my grandfather was more rosy-cheeked, a little heavier, and always up for some kind of physical activity, or maybe even a quick analysis of the day's political happenings.
But now, he's (my grandmother, too) a little slower. It's really a shame. But I still love them. They are great people, and I hope they'll be with me for many years to come.
Unrelated: UTXMP is 30% done. I'm looking for good vehicular combat. Hopefully the bots will work.

Art Deco in Gaming
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to I/O Nightly News.
Art Deco is a tremendous art style that was popularized during the great depression. I personally think it's my favorite art style, even above contemporary (which is really interior design, but okay, whatever).
BioShock, a game I've never sat for more than a half hour with, is the only game that I know of with this art style incorporated in a big way. The Ship, a GoldSrc and Source modification/game, is heavily reliant on it as well.
We need more of that. It's just that jazzy, classy style. Might look good in a mafia game, or a 30's style game, where everything is in art deco.
That would be completely insane. I would shell out full price for it, which is much more than I would for SCII.
