Online Obsessions (No, not porn. Sorry.)

Hi., I'm James Homme and my online life is more exciting than my real one. Ok, not really. But lately I've been very active trying new things in the interwebs.


First, there's ooVoo which I use to talk with friends back home and abroad. It's so much better than Skype and YM so I love, love, love it. You can even record videos and take snapshots. I like to play around with it using YouCam. It cracks up my friends.


Ventrilo is like the geekier version of Skype that looks like mIRC (remember that?). It offers a good surround sound voice chat platform. I honestly don't know how it exactly works because you would need the server information, IP address and port number before connecting. This one I've only tried once last night upon the orders and recommendation of my favorite geek. Hahah..


Then of course there's World of Warcraft. Last night, I had fun killing boars, completing quests and just exploring different realms. The experience is enhanced by high definition visuals. Plus it helps to have a nice tour guide to show you the ropes. The world of night elves is awesome!


Last, but gawd, definitely not the least, Mariah's wet dream, the fagulous, Robot Unicorn Attack! The game is simple; don't hit any walls, edges or rocks nor fall over the cliffs so you can "make your dreams come true". This game is sick. It's deceptively sweet and childish when it's really morbid. It's like the gayer, sparkly version of Happy Tree Friends minus the gore. A warning though; the song is evil. Universal Motion Dancers isdatchu? It's like crack for the ears. I can hear each brain cell fizzling out while playing. (Yup, he's responsible for this too.)

Now excuse me while I chase my dreams go back to work.

  1. You make me wanna try that Robot Unicorn... It will give Mariah a run for her money - based on your description...

    There is a geek in me but not to the World of Warcraft... I am still feasting on Plants vs. Zombies... =)) I am a late-blooming geek... HAHAHA!!! =))

    There was this Chat with Strangers site... I forgot its name... My friends and I tried it... And most of the people who chat there are indians... I met an Indian doctor there... Too bad... Coz he's straight... =)

  2. Robot Unicorn Attack, which I also like to refer to as Rainbow Unicorn Jump, is insane! Nangalay yung left arm ko yesterday because of it!

    There's another game that's very similar to PvZ that got me hooked! I just can't remember the name.

    Warcraft is also a new way to meet strangers you know! Heheh...
