Good Old Games is offering the original Fallout for free download. It's a fairly popular old game so I figured I'd spread the word in case anyone here wanted to play it but never got the chance.
Also the US government is, in all their brilliance, trying to pass another Internet censorship bill that uses broad language to do whatever it wants. Unlike SOPA, which was about copyrights, CISPA is focused more on stopping cyberterrorism, but the language is so broad that it's just another one of those "spy on you" bills. Avaaz is on the case.
Look at that, I managed to blog about stuff that isn't Zoofights. Go me, I guess.

Another Petition and First Thoughts on FFT
Figured I should link this.
http://torrentfreak.com/white-house-petitioned-to-investigate-mpaa-bribery-120122/
I got my PS1 memory card in the mail this morning, and after checking that it worked I started up a file on Final Fantasy Tactics. First impressions:
-I remember Harpy mentioning on Zoofights that she likes woobies (hence Rain X Stella, and why bad things happen so frequently to Alex). The first thing I'm shown upon starting this game up is the statement that Ramza was forgotten by history in a church coverup. That's pretty woobietastic all right.
-Oh jeez you can rename Ramza. No points for guessing what my brilliant name change was.
-"Rad". I love Engrish.
-After playing so much Disgaea and La Pucelle, I am NOT used to the control layout of FFT. Pressing down makes you move southwest instead of southeast, with all the other directions rotated to match. Took me three times as long to play thanks to that. Gah!
Now to get one of these generics made into a White Mage as quickly as possible.

Obligatory SOPA Post
Hey, you know what would be wiped off the internet if the Stop Online Piracy Act passed? Zoofights. Even disregarding all the folks roleplaying as existing characters, you still have Ironichide's mixes to target. Also I linked to Space Invaders once.
Can I get my fellow Americans to take a sec and sign up at whitehouse.gov to sign the petition?
http://wh.gov/DfY
If nothing else, it won't hurt.
Also, here's Hitler reacting to SOPA. Not certain whether to classify this as "SOPA is so terrible even Hitler is disgusted" or "If you're against SOPA you're with Hitler". >_>
And... (taking a page from RedSpy) Funnest fact: This is not the first time Hitler's been mentioned on my blog.
UPDATE: I found another site for anybody - including people from other countries - to sign!
SECOND UPDATE: Apparently there's been an amendment that mostly neuters SOPA, making it much less extreme and dangerous. I'm going to leave the rest of this post up just in case there's any hidden problems and/or to be on the safe side.
