A top-down action fighting semi-roleplaying game.

I played quite a bit of it until early 2015. Spiral Knights is an exceptional game, but unfortunately as of the last time I played it, it lacks balance and so it lacks variety.

This is an exception to Java sucks, therefore everything made with Java sucks.

A zombie-survival first person shooter that I played the hell out of until late-2015. It still had a very active player base.

A guy goes mad and has visions, except they’re real people.

Decent, with occasional awesomeness between cringeworthy moments of “let’s see if we can put this shit in a show”. Oh, and it’s no wonder, it’s from “The Wachowskis”. I’m just going to let this die.

Ångström was started by a small group of people who worked on the OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus and OpenSimpad projects to unify their effort to make a stable and user-friendly distribution for embedded devices like handhelds, set top boxes and network-attached storage devices and more.

  • Properly titled Ångström
  • It’s the default Linux distribution for the Pandora.
  • It has/had support for the Zaurus SL-C1000, but I haven’t tested it there.
  • Yocto Project-approved.

TODO – add my notes, and scripts

Git-Logo-1788C.png

Git >

Provides a reasonable environment for working with Git while trapped on Windows. A console window with Bash, various everyday linux console applications, and git.

I loved it, and used it regularly for sane scripting when trapped on Windows, via bash, as well as for git itself.

I replaced it with Cygwin/Babun.

Stuck at a dead-end job, a guy ignores his girlfriend’s nagging until she uses an old high school enemy to push his buttons.

I’m really really happy this series didn’t get approval. This pilot is a steaming pile of shit. It has nothing to do with Clerks – (1994 movie) and so it cannot build on its mystique, and it isn’t even particularly original or interesting on its own.

  • This is the single pilot episode. The full series was never produced.
  • Kevin Smith, the author of Clerks – (1994 movie) was unaware of this proposed TV show until its casting was under way, during his production of Mallrats – (1995 movie)
  • Properly titled Clerks. (with a trailing period) or more sensibly Clerks: The TV Show
