Twitter: A Micro Blog or a Social Network?

Hey all ye none existent readers? I have a question for you. Do you think Twitter is a micro blogging service or a social network. I have heard many people call twitter a social network, but I don't see much socializing. Yes, there is some, but twitter isn't built that way. Unlike Facebook (which I think is the purest form of social networking,) it is very hard to comment on other people's "posts" Yes it can be done, but I think the feature is still somewhat clumsy; You can leave a comment for a specific person, but you can't comment directly on another post. I personnel think Twitter mostly a hybrid, but in essence it is built as a micro blog.

Wot I’m Playing

Before any of you non-existent readers say that I stole the title idea from RPS, (An awesome blog by the way. I would recommend reading it if you like PC games) I know I stole it. So, back to the subject, I like lists so I’m going to make a list.

Games I have been playing.

• Dwarf Fortress What can I say, this game is amazing, To all of you who don’t want to play because it looks too complicated, It’s more complicated than it looks. Now do you want to play? I was looking for something interesting to play on my old 1 Ghz laptop and I had previously heard of this. It played beautifully on my laptop. I booted the game and was met with the “Generate a World” menu. I was immediately confused to say the least. I then proceeded to search the web for, as I like to call them, “Tuts.” I clicked on the first result that appeared and met this site. After reading a bit I printed out the Tut on my non recyclable paper. [Following has been censored because it may upset ecologists] The Tut proved to be immensely helpful. If you are looking into DF I recommend checking it out. (thanks!) After following the rather extensive tutorial, I began work on a fortress of my own design. It was a lovely (and very addicting) experience. I’ll post more on DF later, I just touched the surface with this post)
• Defcon (Spoiler: Everyone dies) Thanks to T-Bag-T (What a weird user name) I now own a copy of this interesting game. For a game whose color scheme is green and black it is surprisingly sad. I felt a ping of sadness every time one of my devastating nukes hit a city. You want to cry as the message “Leningrad Hit, 2.2 Million dead” flashes onto the screen. I haven’t got around to playing online yet, I played a game or two against the AI and was completely decimated. Knowing from past experiences that, “If you suck against AI, don’t show your face online,” I decided to stay away a little longer. I might post a few short battle summaries/screen shots later if you beg me.

I’ve been playing a bit more but can't talk about it now. First person to comment gets a copy of Crayon Physics Deluxe.

Essential (sorta) list of mods for Star Wars Battlefront 2

My friend wanted this list, so, here we go.

Essential (sorta) list of mods for Star Wars Battlefront 2

1. Unofficial Star Wars Battlefront II v1.3 Patch If you are getting ANY other mods you will most likely need this patch. The full version includes a Kotor faction, but it is not entirely necessary. If you want the BF2 conversion pack or the Dark Times , install the lite version.
2. Battlefront Extreme (2.2) This mod is NEEDED it adds a whole slew of ships, maps, and units. This mods is worth it. You must have the v1.3 patch to install.
3. Star Wars Battlefront Conversion Pack Patch (2.2) If you liked the original Battlefront you will love this patch. It adds almost all the units and maps from the original game, yes, you read that right, Spaceships on land maps!
4. The Dark Times Last (and least) the Dark Times Mod. This mod adds a new faction and a few (I think) new maps. The strong point in this are the heroes. If you like playing with heroes this mod is for you. It expands upon the original force powers and adds quite a few new force powers. It also greatly improves the hand to hand combat.
