What's on your mind?

If you have some randomness to share that you can't post elsewhere, this is the place to do it.

Yeah but I honestly don't care about game box arts, so I wouldnt put the effort into making a new one.  I am a pretty heavy collector too, but game collecting has never been a big thing for me, I just pop in the cds so the cases don't really strike me
I would like to point you to Bioshock: Infinite, which has this boxart:

which is, objectively, really not that bad, and the developers mentioned they made the boxart to advertise to people who may not otherwise buy the game (kinda what boxart was originally meant for). But then the hardcore fans who would have bought it regardless threw such a fit that now the devs are using a reversible cover with votes on what people want to see as the second cover.

tldr: People really care about boxart, apparently.
Why would they not want reversible cover? If you don't like it, don't reverse it. >_>  Some people are stupid.
no, the game originally didn't have a reversible cover. The reversible cover was only made after people complained so much about the original cover.

Oh, well why didn't people like that cover? It's not even like the Arkham City one that's plastered with advertisements, I really like the cover, and even if you don't like it there's not really enough of a problem with it to complain about it.

Yeah, at least they didn't cover the art with the awards.

I need to find one of those fancy flip covers that you see a lot on Galaxy SIII's and iPads.  The kind that sort of like, roll on to cover, and then can be pulled off, etc., for my Google Galaxy Nexus.  Not Nexus 4, though, unless they're the same size (I don't know if they are).  I cannot find one.  :-\

Every possible thing that could go wrong this last week has done exactly that, and at the worst possible moments.

I'm at the end of my sanity and therefore have been a huge bitch lately.

And right now I just want to curl up in a ball and cry my eyes out for awhile. Or drink myself into a stupor.

Both sound good.

Actually, the latter sounds better. Crying is exhausting.

I've slept most of the past week; headaches have been doing an up-and-down thing. Friday night/Saturday morning I felt fine and thought I'd be able to go to game, until about 9 or 10 in the morning when the headache came back pretty much full-force and I had to take medicine to knock myself out. So no game. Just sleep. Hopefully I'll be on my feet again by Tuesday so I can go somewhere again... haven't left the house since we went to visit my family on the first. ~_~*
I have finally started to actually publish my story! For the moment, expect a new chapter each month.

The Case of the Midnight Channel
"When a strange letter summons the Mouri family to Inaba, Ran is expecting a case. She's not expecting it to involve the TV, though.
If Naoto investigated everyone who came to visit Inaba, she'd have little time for real cases. When Yukiko reports that the Midnight Channel is back, however, she starts to wonder if the visitors are connected. Especially when the image clears, unveiling yet another mystery."

Short version: I'm taking various DC/MK characters to Inaba (where Persona 4 takes place) and dropping them through the TV to face their Shadows!

This made me laugh, thank you <3 (For the record, that mad scientist is Tomoe from Sailor Moon.)
