Some neat software and games stuff today. Politics are stupid and boring.
Wired has a great article about what really makes GTA IV a great game. I have been staving off my temptations to get the game because of the many freelance jobs I picked up earlier in the year that I must focus on and finish by the summer. Also, I’m planning a wedding, and that always trumps video games. Besides, Bully is still really entertaining to me. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to the day that I can play GTA IV uninterrupted and explore the sprawling landscape of Liberty City. …sigh… Though I’m not sure how long sandbox genre games can survive without being MMO in scope. Just a predictive tidbit.
Freeware genius just put out a little ditty on a piece of software I’m planning on trying out called Xneat. I’ll let you, my faithful reader know how it goes. Its supposed to help manage your windows. We’ll see about that.
Finally, a web2.0 grammar checking site called gramlee. I’m gonna put this post through its engine to see what kind of filth it spits out. I’ll get back to you on that as well.
*edit* BUT WHOA! for gramlee it appears that you have to pay per word. Apparently real people are editing these. To that I say:
- That’s not web2.0
- People are so out, computer programs are so in. Get with it.
- Also, pay-for services are lame.
***Here’s what gramlee thinks of my first 100 words***
There’s some news about neat software and games today. Politics are stupid
and boring.
Wired Magazine has a great article about what really makes GTA IV a great
game. I have been staving off my temptations to get the game because of the
many freelance jobs I picked up earlier in the year. My deadline for the
deliverables for these various jobs is this summer. Also, I’m planning a
wedding, and that always trumps video games. Besides, Bully still entertains
me. Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to the day I can play GTA IV
uninterrupted and explore the sprawling landscape of Liberty City.
***Funny right? I think so***

I just tried out Gramlee, and I’m very impressed!
Grammar depends on context, which only a human can interpret and read.

Point noted, though I’m confused as to what you took as “serious” in my previous post? If you have a sense of humor, you could’ve overlooked my use of a “serious” tone.
Cheers!
