Whoa whoa whoa whoa, where’s the time gone?!
I haven’t blogged in MONTHS! It’s time for a ramble! It’s time for my BIGGEST POST YET!
First on our delectable menu: LittleBigPlanet. Now I’m sure you’ve all seen some of this, but it really comes into its own when other people make videos and use capture devices to record stuff. Because holding a camera to your TV sucks big time.
For example, here’s a couple of comedy clips:
Huggy Time: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=S_NaXx9xEDQ
The WeeGees (a WeeGee is a badly drawn Luigi from the CD-i Mario games) : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=3qOHKfgnVWY
The amazing creations people have made just stuns me. Especially the Azure Palace: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=aBJlkpTIw48
It’s like watching a movie, it’s incredible.
The only problem with LBP is that it is a PS3-Exclusive; which, I suppose, isn’t bad for the what used-to-be ailing PS3 games market. Also, the game was developed in the UK by MediaMolecule, some pretty awesome guys. It’s quite a small team too! So big round of applause for somebody getting this country’s gaming industry off of the ground where it’s been for the past 15 years! Wooohooo!
The next item on our menu (which is indeed delectable) is Old Sonic Games. Sonic DIED in 1997. Literally, there have been no good Sonic games since then. But ah! Why don’t SEGA do this: make a NEW Sonic game that looks like one on the OLD engine? Like what these guys have done with their fan-project Sonic Nexus. That is a beautiful game, and runs very smooth under Wine on Linux.

They originally wrote it in Multimedia Fusion 2, but deemed it too slow for their demands and switched to C++: this could mean a Linux port in the future, once it is done. It only currently exists in short demos, but their devblog is updated every 1-3 weeks or so.
Next up: Santa Hats. Why do we all love them so much? What is it about the brilliant red skirted with white fluff and with a white bobble on the end that makes them seem so awesome? Why?! Must find me some answers.
Oh, it’s time to choose some drinks from the menu; I’ll just have a Cola, but we can get a bottle of Various Linux Stuff I’ve Been Doing (Late 2008)!
Yes, I’ve been dual booting with an External USB HDD, and I must say the PLoP BootManager has been serving me well. Since my PC can’t boot from USB, PLoP saved my skin! Now I can BOOT ANYTHING BUAHAHAHA! NOTHING CAN STOP ME NOW, NOTHING, NOTHING, NOOOOOTHIIIIING GWAH HAH HA HAH AHAAAH!
Ahem, yes. Anyway, what’s next? Of course, the Dessert. Let’s see, Cheesecake, no, Gateaux…..hmm…. no, no, not that either, n- aha, yes, I would like some awesome explosive ramblings! Dessert is the best part!
#Here We Go!
Since when was it legal to have teachers confiscate your mobile should you use it in class? That still counts as theft, and here in the UK we have a law known as “Citizen’s Arrest” where a citizen of age 16 or above can legally arrest and restrain (without force) a person committing a crime before delivering them to the police. So technically, should a teacher take my phone I can arrest them for theft, and they would be liable to pay a fine. Hehe, the fun I could have with that…
“I am sorry, Mr. SoandSo, but you are under CITIZEN’S ARREST. You will remain here silently until the police arrive. Should you fail to co-operate, you will be charged for resisting arrest as well as your current charge for wilful theft. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used as evidence in the courtroom. “
Technically, I could do that, because when you go to school, you don’t sign some Terms of Agreement! You are not legally obliged to do what you are told by any member of staff in the school! Therefore, holding a pupil in detention could class as kidnapping, and would be an even steeper crime than petty theft! Hah!
*In detention class*
“Sir, you are committing a CRIME. I have placed you under citizen’s arrest, and I ask you to accompany me to the police station. If you continue to keep me in this room and do not comply with this command, you are resisting arrest and continuing your crime of kidnapping and hostage-holding. “
Gee hee hee hee! I would so love to do that. Thing is, I’m perfectly within my rights to do that!
I’m not sure if I could pull it off though. Maybe on my last day at school. 
So, my future plans, eh? Well, I’m thinking about going to College before leaping into University; after all, the more degrees, the better chance of a job to support me when I’m in Uni. Food ain’t free, y’know. As for a job at the moment, my options are rather limited: I can’t drive, and I’m still in school. So my job would just about pay for the fuel costs, let alone road tax and car repairs and so on.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas… everywhere you gooooo!
Hmm, here’s a fun thing to try. Hold up an object to the light: then play some of the Also Sprach Zarathustra for dramatic effect.
FracturedPsyche, signing out, roger roger!
