Yo, Stardock! Did you do something to fix the UI to work in FF3? For the first time in a long time, the buttons are all in the correct places. Either way, you did something right!

     In my opinion, being closed-minded is forcing that other people don't shove their opinions on oneself. However, I have been told by others that this is not, in fact, the case. Apparently, being closed-minded is not converting to any idea that is tossed out in front of you. To tell you the truth, as somebody perfectly happy right now, I'd rather not agree with everything. First, I don't believe that everything somebody else says is correct (though, granted, I'll respect t...

    I'm gonna cut back on writing articles, and only write when I feel like it. This means Daily Features will be rare, but normal articles will be rarer. I've got about 150 articles, so I'm definitely averaging at least one a day for a long time, so I'm gonna rest up. Hopefully my writing will improve while I'm slow.

    Politics or Popularity?     I've got complaints about the2008 election. I haven't heard the slightest on any of the candidate'spolitics. The only candidate I can root for is John McCain, and moredue to the fact that Republicans would be more conservative than theDemocrats, as a general rule (he's surely more conservative than Obamaor Hillary). The problem is that instead of having political debate,we're getting more of an American Idol style popularity contestd...

    Short Story- Shadowrun: Desecration    It all started two months ago. I'd met a mage by the name of ArkadiLev. He seemed like a nice enough guy, for a runner, that is. Maybe inhis thirties, clean shaven, short black hair worn in a simple,attention-defering style, thin, pale. The perfect counterpart to me, aneight-foot-two troll street samurai. I get the attention, he takesadvantage of not having it. Or so I thought.    I've learned my lesson a...

    Is it just my Firefox being borked, or is JU leaving out part of the url on my articles/dashboard link. For example: http://www.erathoniel./article/308240/Why_PC_Gaming_is_Dying Should be: http://www.erathoniel.joeuser.com/article/308240/Why_PC_Gaming_is_Dying     It does this from the homepage and dashboard, and all the My Account, My Dashboard, My Blog, and New Article buttons are borked as well. Anyone else having similar glitches?

    Why Do You Call it Hate?    I've had people complain that I'm a "troll" or too hard on them. Youknow what I say? If you cannot justify your beliefs, must you classifymine as hate? Quite frankly, I'm only capable of hating those who'vewronged me. As far as I know, no major group has hurt me as a generalrule, so therefore I hate no group. Plus, I usually only hold grudgesso long as they can keep on burning. I'm not gonna continue hauntingone issue for eight years...

    War    War is the closest thing to Hell mankind can imagine. So therefore Iwrite a poem on the wonderful perpetual motion machine we've madeourselves into. War ruins life it causes strife But all we can do is cause more it never changes, for it is war but can we change it without making ourselves be hit It seems like we have the ablity to change but we always seem to flange And become the doppleganger and the final destroyer destroy more and mor...

    Spam in the Middle of Nowhere    Ok, some of you know I'm the admin on the GearHead wiki. Now, we don'thave a chronic problem with spam. It's just a small part of maintence.Our problem is this: Why are there spammers on a wiki that sees tenpeople a day? Including spammers, lurkers, and myself (and the fellowadmin), we have a population of about 50, but we have little traffic(or so I estimate) off the main page. So why bother spamming if youdon't have a link to ...

    On Magic In Fiction    Now, I know this isn't the most controversial topic. I also know Iprobably have adressed it before, but I can't remember exactly where orwhen. I believe that all magic in real life comes from Satanic sources,not nature or God (for there will be more prophesies met before Godrestores power to His followers). I do believe, however, that infantastical works of literature, magic is a permissible inclusion. Forinstance, in Shadowrun or Lion...

    Swearing is not a sin. It is, however, an annoyance to some of us who learn more than five adjectives, nouns, verbs, and adverbs. If you don't know a word to use, use a dictionary.     Swearing also devalues your opinion. When I find that someone swears, I view it as a negative mark on their maturity, as they have no real self-control. It's one thing in conversation, but it's entirely different when you can write stuff down. You cannot convince me that you ca...

You know who you are, who I address this to. You say "Libel!". I say fact. I make a statement, you threaten to sue. You just don't get it, do you? When I said you hated me, I may have been wrong, but you've done nothing to prove otherwise. You only know how to attack in my eyes. If someone spreads a lie about you, they may believe it true. But you insisted on making it fact, didn't you? You scrabble and scratch, light a match. You expect to win, but all you do is whine. You'd be a good politi...

    I will start deleting comments, but I will do the following:     I will not blacklist people, merely delete comments, and I will note that the comments were deleted.     Here's how to avoid deletion:     Do not swear.     Do not use explicit language, or more crude innuendo.     Do not just talk, make your comments useful. (For this rule I may not note comment deletion, to prevent landsli...

I don't respond to criticism. I quite frankly, don't care. You can say what you want about my writing, and I don't give. I write how I want, when I want. I don't get paid, I don't ask for your opinions on my writing style, and I really just don't care. You think I write like crap? Well, I couldn't care less.

     I have a number of projects going for this Fall. Two are short stories, another, well, I'll just hint at it and say "daily". That's your clue. The short stories are both planned to be my Shadowrun fare, so don't expect too much. One of the Shadowrun stories is going to be called "Screams of the Undead" (yes, I'm stealing song titles, imitation=flattery). This is also a hint at the plot of this story, since you can guess it will have at least one of the mentioned items in...
