I never really listened to them a lot, but I will check them out more now.

Oh geeze.

That digital look is really getting to me lately, or maybe it's CG graphics, like the Ant-Man trailer or Jurassic World. It just doesn't impress me anymore. 

I'd like to play it as it was when it came out. I know what you mean about the music. It's like the game need to load the next area everytime. Also, I've noticed that the music plays from the spinning UMD on the PSP during gameplay. Maybe it has to shut off to let the processor load the next area. If the game installed from the UMD completely, music included, to internal memory, I guess that fade-out problem wouldn't happen.

I lived in that stuff. My friend Mark and I would make jokes about it all the time. I had a darkroom in my parents house all my teenage years and then lived in one during college as well. I even worked in a lab briefly in the early 90s. Speaking of which, I just saw yet another photo store go under. Are there any left at all now?

To each his own. I was lost for hours in the darkroom and always smelled of the fixer chemical. Ah, glorious fixer. 

I'm ok writing on a computer. It still feels like typing. I still carry a note pad around though and sometimes write freehand on that. 

I really like being hands-on with art. That's why I'm a little bit miffed at digital photography right now. I used to love the dark room and then framing and matting afterwards.

I avoided Minecraft for a long while thinking the graphics were aweful. Then, I don't know, it came to Xbox 360 and I tried the free demo just for the heck of it. Oh did I not know what I was getting into. 

There's not really a story, but when you do the crafting, it does seem to be preparing you to fight the Endor Dragon. You craft all you can craft in the world and then there's an item you need that's in the Netherworld. So you go there. Then you're able to enchant weapons, armor, make potions, and make an eyeball that shows you where a stronghold is, and low and behold, there's the gateway to the world holding the Endor Dragon. What do you do there? There's nothing to do there really except battle the dragon. So you do that. Then you realize you've just completed an old fashioned kill-the-dragon quest.
