Ataxia – a new word that means I can’t play Halo?
So, I found this bit of research today..... I'm finding plenty of pages that document that existence of simulator sickness, but haven't yet found anything that talks about how to combat it. =:/
Heeeere, Covenant, Covenant
Woot! So, I managed to last a half-hour with halo tonight! I think it might be because I was talking with my kiddos while I was playing it. Maybe that kept my stomach distracted....
WordPress Style Switcher
OOOH--almost forgot! I spent a bit of time playing around with WordPress today--feeling bored/non-challenged/whatever and all. My first thought was to go with the Kubrick template for WordPress. It looks pretty sweet and all, but it looked like it would be difficult to add easy on-the-fly style changing, and that bothered me a smidge.
Fahrenheit 9/11
So, now I'm just depressed. Having never paid much attention to things political before a month ago, I was hoping to spend a solid month investigating said things, get a healthy bit of knowledge, and be well-armed with all the information necessary to vote responsibly in less than a month.
on the war on simulator sickness
So, I played halo for a bit the other day. =:)
the war on simulator sickness
I am determined to figure out how to beat simulator sickness. There has to be some tricks or something to get my body to not be confused/sickened/making me feel like puking.
the war on boredom
So, here's the thing. I get bored VERY easily (like you care...). And, to make matters worse, I have a love/hate relationship with both Mozilla Firefox and Opera. I run Linux, of course, and as such, don't have the option of using Internet Explorer (Bill of the Gateses hasn't seen fit to provide a version for Linux yet, and oddly enough, I'd not use it even if he had). So, my options for the browsing of all things webbish are limited to Konqueror, Mozilla and its derivatives (Firefox, Galeon, Epiphany, etc.), and Opera.
mark knopfler - shangri-la
I really dig Mark Knopfler's music. Maybe I'm getting old and sedentary. *shrug* At any rate, his new CD is very good, if you're into this kind of music, imho. And I always have been. Loved Brothers in Arms.
halo and motion sickness
So, I got Halo for the PC, got all excited about it, figured I'd spend a few days learning it, then take my game online and trounce any unsuspecting fellow halo-ers soundly. I cleaned off the hard drive *excitement building*, made room for halo *excitement building*, installed halo *excitement building*, all the while listening to the awesome sounds and looking at the incredible graphics *excitement building*, rebooted *excitement waning*, and started the game. WOW. Amazing!! The graphics and sounds and interface are absolutely amazing. I love how they help you learn by making it part of the story. The motion-configuration (look at these 5 places on the screen, now tell me, does that look good or do you want to change it?) was REALLY well-thought-out.
what on earth am I here for?
"The Purpose Driven Life" is the book that I'm currently reading through. It is REALLY good!! I struggle greatly with reading through books in general. I have no problem starting them, but being consistent and reading them through to end is not my bag, baybee. That is, unless it's a good action/adventure/spy/geek book. Then that's a different story.
