Rapid Fire Ramblings: Spants, Steam Chat, Zetsubou, Coins, Gum.

Rapid Fire Ramblings returns! For some reason!

This is the essence of Justin Spaeth: Right here, in this tweet. That just sums the man up so perfectly, I think.

I really wish I could figure out why Steam’s voice chat works so weird. I love it: it works like Xbox Live when it’s working, and bringing that kind of functionality to the PC is so sweet. But every time I plug in my headset it’s a crapshoot whether or not I’m going to have to restart Steam in order for it to recognize it and let me talk in a call. It’s actually probably some sort of issue with the audio drivers of my headset, but oh well.

So awhile back, I noticed they had apparently translated the Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei manga. As someone who had enjoyed the show, I picked it up. The show did so many weird things, I was expecting the manga to be different, but not so! It’s almost shot for shot the same thing. This means it’s still quite entertaining, but I have issues reading it, as I’ve watched all the episodes covered in the first volume at least twice. Oh well, at least the creator got a little money from me for making something I enjoy.

I cashed in my bucket of pennies over the weekend. I had 2400 pennies! I also cashed in 121 quarters, 242 dimes, and 130 nickels at the CoinStar machine to end up with an $84.95 Amazon Gift Certificate, which is basically paying for the next couple games I’m being mailed. So that’s cool. Time to fill the bucket up again!

I’ve had two packs of Maui Melon Mint gum on my desk, and every day I think about taking them to work and then every day I don’t take them to work. It’s not a bad gum. I should take it to work tonight. I won’t, though.

Yep.
