I'm working my way through the campaign mode, again, and saved once in the middle of Terran Mission 9. After realizing that my previous strategy wasn't working out (Hooray running out of minerals), I re-loaded from the save and tried a different tactic: Mass Battlecruisers. I managed to have ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/07/02/i-am-terrible-at-starcraft/ While The Six Day Exile work is stalled--first by my laziness, then by some equipment compatibilities as outlined here--I figured I'd throw this idea out and see what anyone thinks of it. I don't have a lot for it yet, but what is here is Copyright ©2008 by me, Marc J. ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/30/another-grandiose-idea-i-will-probably-never-finish/ Well, no I don't. But I'm not particularly happy right now. This week was pretty much an idle one in terms of the site. I do have ideas for writings which I should really get up and running sometime soon, because I certainly haven't been doing much lately as far as ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/29/emptyeyecom-week-36-i-hate-my-life/ This actually came to me yesterday sometime, but oh well. Essentially, I was thinking about the absurdity of the fact that the U.S.'s top basketball players make hundreds of times the salary of the top high school teachers, and suddenly realized that, quite frankly, the fact that Korea has Professional StarCraft ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/27/random-friday-night-thought/ That's right, in the singular. Similar to this post, it comes from an observation about work (Speaking of which, I should be grateful I even still have a job that I can make amusing observations about, thanks to the job climate, the state of the banking industry, and the cost-cutting ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/24/random-tuesday-thought/ This past week, a lot of the issues I had with the apartment got fixed, specifically the toilet and cable (The latter of which involved a simple reboot of the system on Cox's end). As a result, the place actually feels something like a home now, and to celebrate, ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/22/emptyeyecom-week-35-the-apartment-is-better/ A bit of background to the title of this post: I despise the so-called "fair-weather fan". This hatred culminated in an angry away message the morning after the New England Patriots won Super Bowl XXXVI, essentially asking everyone at my alma mater (Then called Franklin Pierce College) where their support ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/19/hypocrite-pride/ Not to be all super-mopey-depressed or anything, but between our newly installed digital cable not working (It's a very bizarre problem..everything seems to work okay except for the channels themselves. Like, I can clearly see that I'm changing the channels, and I can even access information about the program I'm ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/17/when-it-all-goes-slightly-downhill/ This week, I've been mainly busy settling into the new apartment. The main issue thus far is a broken toilet and an unresponsive son-of-landlord (If you're curious, it's one sort of family-owned business that my landlord is a part of, and the son actually lives in the same complex. It's ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/15/emptyeyecom-week-34-not-really-an-update/ One of the more interesting things I've seen in my trek to work from my apartment (Which I'm probably only going to walk a couple days a week, at least at first--apparently my ankles didn't really like going from almost no walking to suddenly walking two miles a day two ... http://emptyeye.com/2008/06/12/whats-a-ray-mac/
