Reality Out of Sync

The BBC has an article discusses a company producing a technology that allows people to track others with a cell phone. The short of it, is that the technology uses the motion of the cell phone accelerometers to track even small movements with the built-in GPS of the phone. For those of you not in the know, GPS is used for positional tracking and is pretty accurate down to a couple feet at least. Interestingly, I discovered how accurate the GPS was with my iphone (company purchased, I wouldn’t ever buy one — I prefer the Android platform). I needed to get to a restaurant and I’d forgotten to write down the address, but I remembered the street. With a neato keen application called “Around Me” I was able to track my distance to the door of the restaurant within at least 5 feet. How incredibly useful!

Now imagine that your boss can see with a pretty precise degree where you are, and with this new technology in the mobile phone from KDDI, you’ll be comforted by the fact that your employer (or snooping wife/stalker/private investigator/police/friendly neighborhood government agent) will know if you’re actively moving around or standing still while you’re out of sight and where you might be doing it. I really don’t think I’d be too terribly happy if my employer started micromanaging my time by ensuring that i was being productive based solely on whether my phone is moving about enough for his/her standards.

“Hmm, prata has gone over his 3 minute time limit on bathroom privileges. We’ll have to write him up and remove one of his bathroom breaks to make up for the lost productivity.”

Nevermind I was spending those minutes actually at my desk and working, but I dropped my phone on my way from or to the bathroom. Or what if I leave my phone at my desk, but have done 6 tickets and rectified numerous problems. I sense lots of signing discussions with the higher ups. Yeah. I don’t like this technology at all.

Why is it I know no girls that enjoy wearing skirts like this? Sad.

So, it’s my birthday today. I don’t plan on doing anything, but my mother wants me to go out to lunch with her. We’re going to an Italian place. Maybe I’ll talk her into going to dinner instead of lunch, because I’m not a huge fan of the restaurant’s lunch dishes. What else am I doing for my birthday? Working. Glee for me!

What would be absolutely wonderful is if there were a bunny waiting for me when I get home to blow and screw my brains out. Le sigh. That leaves me with just..playing MAG and Star Ocean. Not bad alternatives, but definitely huge steps down from the whole getting worn out by some really awesome bunny. It’s a sad state of affairs, I gotta tell ya.

And for what you’re really looking for:

Perfect, little further out, I'd had to muss your make up?

A lot of people say they don’t like the silly faces. I rather adore the silly faces. Not everything has to be super sexy or super sensuous. Playful is good! Just like one shouldn’t freak out if there is laughter and play time in the bedroom (or elevator/car/back of theatre/locked bathroom at a party/park bench/err other places you’re screwing).

I was supposed to post this a long time ago, but I couldn’t find a good picture and then I ended up going to bed because I have to work tonight. Yah, on my birthday. Gleeful!

Finished off my first run through of Heavy Rain officially yesterday. That was pretty fantastic. This game has all the elements of a pretty decent movie if one were so inclined to film it. I’m a big fan of Madison Paige in this game. A strong and sexy character, if not sometimes a little overzealous. Maybe that was my playing of her though. I think I may have put too much of my own decision making under the given circumstances to the characters. A lot less caution, more “fear is temporary, the goal is more important and we must reach it no matter the cost”. I’m going to put much more thought into how I view each of the character’s personalities so that the story plays out differently. I enjoyed the ending I got though, which is really the goal of all games right, to enjoy the ending?

I had been looking forward to this game for such a long time that I was almost prepared for a colossal let down, as has happened in the past; however, I was totally surprised. The entire game is freakin’ awesome. I hope QuanticDream puts out a lot more on this franchise through DLC, or creates a few more games in a similar vein.

I think I need to see a doctor. I’ve got this whole motion sickness thing that’s been going on for like two weeks now. Sometimes it’s okay, but most of the time I feel pretty unwell when I track items with my eyes or if I move a little too quickly from one direction to the other. It’s really freakin’ unpleasant. I’m sure it’s something stupid.

I was chastised about my penchant for Asian chicks. In fact, I was told not too long ago that my penchant for Asian chicks was a bad thing. Holy crap whiskey-tango-foxtrot?? Certain phrases were used such as: school boy looking, formless, flat as a board.

Really?

Hmmm...less cloth, more on your hands.

I had carrot juice for breakfast. Fantastic!

I’m a game addict. I buy video games because my heart is an emotional black hole that requires constant sensation. Just to avoid feeling dead inside all the time. So I turn to video games, it’s my way of dealing with the bottomless pit of despair. To help quell this constant emptiness I purchased two games, Heavy Rain and Dante’s Inferno. Dante’s Inferno is basically God of War with a  penchant for the bizarre. It takes you straight into Hell and tries to disturb you more with each moment that you’re there. The further you progress the more one encounters grotesque obstacles to their path. It’s visually beautiful and oh so disturbing at the same time. This is probably why I enjoy it so much! How far will it go? I don’t know — and here’s why!

Heavy Rain was released yesterday. Heavy Rain has been on my radar for a long time and I’d pretty much decided that if the demo was even sort of decent, I was going to get the game and play the hell out of it. Turns out the demo was fucking amazing. I haven’t actually slept since I purchased the game. Partly because I was up all damn day playing it, and also because I had to work in the evening. Now, I’m soon to get off work and guess what I’m going to do? Yep, go play more Heavy Rain. The best way to describe it? Watching a movie you take part in. Not just simple select a dialogue and then watch it play out, but take action within the context of the movie playing out on the screen. It’s fuckin’ fantastic. I’ve played it non-stop save for this whole work thing. I need to figure out how to accomplish PS3 Heavy Rain action at work. =-/ Hrm.

Let’s see what happens when I get home! Will I sleep? Will I play Heavy Rain? How far will I go for the game I love?

Okay so it's not exactly Real World Bunny - It's Game Bunny? Excellent?
