I had MSNBC on all day yesterday, from the time that I woke up until - well, I'll get to that in a second. I got a call from a friend around 7 wanting to go out to a bar, so I had quite the quandary on my hands. I could go out and have fun with other humans or I could stay home and watch the Super Tuesday coverage that I had been waiting for since early January.
I decided to indeed go out around 10, an hour before the California polls closed. While out, I tried to keep up with the news through my iPhone, but it was just too loud and crowded at the bar to really concentrate on what I was doing and also be sociable.
On my first trip to heed the call of nature, I heard the fleeting end of a conversation as I walked by: "......... California...... delegates...... Clinton, too close to call." I turned around and there was a small group of people huddled around the one TV at the bar that was tuned to something other than ESPN. They had it on MSNBC! I could have my cake and eat it too!
So, for the rest of the night I occasionally checked in with my new news-hungry friends for updates and was generally pleased with the
outcome.
No, I'm not referring to my skill as a writer - Zero Punctuation is a weekly video game review column over at the Escapist. It uses simple animation in order to heap praise on or totally eviscerate the latest and greatest games. The catch? The creator uses no punctuation (hence the name) in his reviews, and plows through each one with reckless abandon.
