Apple did a thing yesterday. I want an Watch.

You know what they announced already. It’s news. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. The Apple Watch. The Apple Pay system.

Yeah. All of that is fine and dandy. But oh boy, Apple has a way making things. And I want to sign up for one of these immediately:

I know the battery life not being disclosed at this point is a huge deal, but I DON’T REALLY CARE, I JUST WANT ONE. PLEASE. IT LOOKS SO NICE AND IT MEANS I DON’T HAVE TO UPGRADE TO AN IPHONE 6, AND I WOULD REALLY LIKE ONE, APPLE. PLEASE.

The new laptop is working out awesomely.

In other news, I ranked into Silver III on CS:GO!

Then I promptly starting complaining about other players being bad:

But getting back to the reason this post exists at all:

I might have over-estimated the frame rate of the game, but I’m amazed that the machine can handle the game at all, much less render the game playable at native resolution. I have the graphics turned down to a lower level than the game’s auto-detect suggested and I’m using the MacBook Air’s built-in keyboard and an ancient Logitech RF laptop mouse, and it’s still an awesome little machine.

I’m glad that I made the purchase, even if I put it off for months because I felt like it might have been an irresponsible purchase. I’m looking forward to playing games on a PC again, since the good ship Xbox One still isn’t worthy enough of laying down money on, in my opinion.

Here’s what I learned from CheckPoint S3E26.

  • Cue the Playstation kids that are angry they have to finally get their parent’s credit card out for another thing besides the M-rated game they recently fell on their face begging for.
  • I imagine that “You shut your filthy, seasonal mouth” is a tasteful way of saying “GET ON WITH IT!”
  • Obvious report about service subscription sales going up tremendously when an updated service requires aforementioned subscription.
  • Vlambeer releases a parody of the parodies generally being released about their own games? “We Must Clone Deeper” indeed. My head hurts after trying to suss that one out.
  • Even CheckPoint caught onto to Apple picking up PrimeSense, the manufacturers of the first generation Kinect for Xbox 360 and SDK for PC. Guessing from how long it took the biometrics company’s product to the integrated into Apple products in a very Apple manner, these sensors probably be expected no earlier than the 2015-2016 models of upcoming Apple products.
  • Skylanders? PASS.
  • Barcode Battlers sounds like a mobile game property that can be made awesome right now.
  • Typing of the Dead mention is awesome. Plus… an expansion pack to add Shakespeare quotes as lines to type? Man, I think I need to get on this train and fast.
