Happy March everyone! Happy Soon To Be Spring Equinox! It'll be my birthday in just under three weeks!
An interesting little tid-bit that I found out last week was about the process to determine the day to celebrate Easter. I know a lot about Easter as far as the Catholic holiday is concerned seeing as how I'm a "little heathen" as my mother likes to call me; it's a term of adoration as opposed to one of repulsion. So apparently Easter is determined to be the first Sunday, after the first full moon, after the Spring Equinox. I don't know about you, but that process sounds very pagan to me. I honestly don't know what the wording in the Bible says to make this determination as a floating day as opposed to a permanent day such as Christmas. Anyone?
That aside, how was your February? How is your March looking to be?
Beginning in the end of February and finishing up near the end of yesterday, I participated in another of Bethesda/Zenimax Online's beta tests for The Elder Scrolls Online.

I don't know about you, but I enjoy falling through a flight of stairs only to have my feet embedded in the underlying rock, then typing /stuck in order to kill myself, but only after I have submitted a bug report to the proper authorities. Actually, I am quite enjoying this whole process. Sadly, as has been the case with other ESO betas, but I had work all weekend so I wasn't able to participate as much as I would have liked. I was able to invite Conklederp to join in on this beta test as well, but she was having a harder time with the download to play part. I'm trying to figure out what is going on on her side before the early access launches later this month.
A few weeks back, I purchased an A/V Cable to HDMI converter with the hope that I would be able to play both my SNES and N64 on our super HD LED 1080p TV. Without the converter, the TV cannot completely translate the signal that is coming from a 24 and 19 year old video gaming console. This inability to correctly translate the console signal comes out as flashing colors on the screen as well as colored bars that move from top to bottom while the game is being played. The converter was an attempt to fix this issue. Sadly though, the converter I purchased, possibly through no fault of its own, did not fix this issue. I am still on the lookout for a fix to this that does not include buying an older non HD TV, although that may end up being the final solution.
And now for some reason, the second half of this article decided that it didn't want to exist anymore. After saving then closing down and coming back here to publish, everything that followed after the HDMI article is no longer here. I guess it must not have been very good and knew it for it to want to off itself and I can respect that, even though I don't particularly like it. So with that done then, I will go play a bit of FEZ as that was how I concluded the article after I talked a bit about free to play games that I had recently downloaded as well as noticing that Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is now available through Nintendo's eShop.
