Why the PSP is still awesome (rant)
May 10th, 2007 by Erik Benerdal
I’ve been playing my PSP a lot more ever since I bought DJMAX. Either I play a song now and then or I lie down in my bed and waste a couple of hours trying to beat some of the harder songs. I’ve been thinking about buying the new sequel, but I’m afraid I’ll stop playing the first one and not unlock all the songs. Maybe in a few more weeks.
I mentioned I got Disgaea and it’s just as awesome as the original. It’s all in japanese (couldn’t wait for the US release), but I can still play it with the only exception that I can’t read what the geo symbols do. If you’ve played it you’ll know what I’m talking about.
Raymond just hooked me up with the most recent custom firmware so now I can play PS1 games too. I downloaded Final Fantasy Tactics yesterday and it worked like a charm! Pretty damn cool.
Raymond’s solemnization
May 10th, 2007 by Erik Benerdal
Here are some pictures from Raymond’s solemnization ceremony last week.
When I received the invitation I wasn’t really sure what a solemnization ceremony was so I should probably explain it for the rest of you who are as clueless as me. It basically the legal part of their marriage. They both get to sign the marriage certificate and exchange rings but it’s a more casual ceremony. They will have a more traditional wedding later next year.
It was really sweet and I wish Raymond and June a long and happy future together!
About f-ing time

My copy of Disgaea Portable for the PSP finally arrived today. Between when I clicked ‘order’ to the point where I was holding it in my hands it took 35 days!
This was my first ever order from play-asia.com and sadly enough, probably not my last (as the local stores are less than ideal). I hate to give them beef over this because they’ve been very quick to respond to all my e-mails with apologies and according to them the blame lies entirely with their own suppliers.
Still, I hate it when people just pass the blame, and come the fuck on! 35 days!? Must be some sort of online retail record.
At least I get to finally play it.
We re-furnitured the office
May 4th, 2007 by Erik Benerdal
Ever since Steve arrived we’ve been making a lot of small but important changes to how we work. Today we rearranged all the desks in the office. The new philosophy is to put people who are working on similar things closer together, as well as to easily be able to see anyone’s monitor with just the turn of a head. I thought I’d share a few pictures from the pandemonium.
Disconnected

My internet at home was disconnected yesterday. The bills have been neglected yet again. I’ll be back online as soon as someone pays the bills.
