Rant

Okay. Her' goes.

Is it just me, or shouldn't "music industry" be an oxymoron? I like music. I hate the stupid music industry. I caught the last three minutes of American Idol the other night (I am here using "caught" in the same way people use it when they say they "caught" a severely compromising sexually transmitted disease) because it comes on right before House (which is actually good). And what I saw made me retch. Who ever decided that Justin Timberlake clones crooning their mindlessness into microphones while prancing around onstage could possibly qualify as art? And what's possibly even more disturbing is that people (lots of people) are entertained by this crap. These morons can't (or don't) even write songs, and yet they recieve recognition as artists. Even if they are good at what they do, there's a big difference between being a musician (skilled) and an artist (creative). Creativity in music has always been extremely important to me, and I don't understand why it isn't to everyone else. Don't they realize that without song writers, there are no songs?

And whose idea was it to turn music into an industry? Industry is like where they make cars and stuff. You can't manufacture art. And I've seen greed turn good artists into crappy ones, all because the industry part overwhelms the music. It makes me sick.

Mekanos

No screenshots or anything. I just wanted to say that it's turning out awesome. Like when it's done, you'll all wish I was your friend. Normally I'm a harsh critic of my own work, but this game is turning out pretty awesome. I still have no idea when it'll be finished, though.

Modding

I'm not gonna be able to do much moderation for at least a couple weeks. Things are really buckling down at school at the moment- I'm writing a term paper and preparing for an AP test at the moment. I believe it's the same with most, if not all, of the other mods, so just be a little patient if game acceptance is slow for a while.

Thank you and goodbye.
