[Gaming] The Last Remnant

A while ago, when The Last Remnant was featured in a Steam sale, I ended up spending a lot of time reading reviews and whatnot seeing as how the game for poor to mediocre reviews on both the Xbox 360 and PC versions. It was only until this week that I actually sat down and installed the game for play.

I was somewhat skeptical at first due to all the (bad) things I've about the game but I've been playing it for the past couple of days and I'd have to say that it's pretty damn fun.
I can't say that I've gotten far in the game, but the story doesn't seem like it'll get good anytime soon; however, the thing that got me addicted would be the battle system.

[Programming] Javascript: Calling 3 Functions Synchronously

Personally, I have no idea why I'm putting programming on this blog. This wouldn't seem like the place to post programming questions and help; however, I feel like when I talk aloud to myself or type down extensive notes and comments, it helps me think and figure out problems I couldn't solve by simply staring at them.

The problem I'm currently having with one of my projects involves 3 functions that are running asynchronously (all at once) while I want them to run synchronously (one after the other).

[Gaming] Pokemon Black & White 2

Being a grown man at the age of 22, I find it somewhat unsettling how excited I am for the upcoming release of Pokemon Black and White 2 especially due to how disappointed I was in the first one.

[Software] Launchy

Launchy would have to be one of my favorite tools on my Windows machine. For those of you who don't know what it is, it's basically like the search bar in the start menu on a Windows machine or like the "spotlight" on a Mac. In addition to your "My Programs" folder (which is included by default), you can add directories for Launchy to scan which increases the range of files and programs you can open through the program.

Although there are many other programs out there that have similar functions, I personally feel that Launchy has the right amount of functionality and visual appeal.

Now, my reason of writing this today isn't to advertise for Launchy but rather to share some of my experiences with it and some fixes for the problems that I've run into.

Intro

Following a conversation that I had with my sister earlier today, I have come to the conclusion that I have made a lot of blogs in the past, all of which were doomed to fail. I tried my best to keep multiple blogs at once in order to keep their subject matters distinct but apparently, that method didn't work out.

That is why I have decided to start this new blog today. By eliminating that niche mindset and simply created a single blog to hold all my interests, I hope to stay committed to this for at least longer than my previous endeavors/
