Posted a new video blog on YouTube a little while ago -- I'm posting all future videos on YouTube only because I'm sick of jumping through all the digital hoops to convert video for GameSpot only to have the quality drastically reduced.

The video can be found here. Make sure to hit that HD button to see it in 720p goodness.

I'm starting to see the value of a portable device that's always connected to intertubes as I use sites like Twitter more and more. I'll keep most of my small daily updates there and leave the treatises for my blogs on GameSpot and Giant Bomb.

Follow me if ya like - I'll follow anyone back as Twitter doesn't have the amazing bug that keeps me from seeing more than 100 different updates at once.

Hooray! iPhone 3G S is on the left, 2nd generation iPod Touch is on the right in the following pictures:

Can't comment on the phone functionality since I rarely make calls, but performance-wise the new 3G S is significantly faster when loading content-heavy web pages (most of the internet), and the overall OS is much snappier than the already fast 2nd Gen iPod Touch. I Love Katamari was rather difficult to play on the iPod due to an inconsistent frame rate, but on the 3G S it is much smoother and easier to play. Loading times are also cut by at least 25% in most cases, and sometimes more! Even the awesome Solitaire app runs smoother! I can tell because according to the stats page on my iPod I've played at least 65 hours of it.

On the health front: the colonoscopy procedure went alright. The absolute worst part was drinking the gallon of solution the night before the procedure. You basically get a gallon jug filled with some powdered stuff in the bottom 10%. You mix it with water and it becomes this slimy goo that has the consistency of watered-down maple syrup, though significantly less tasty than actual maple syrup. The actual procedure was no problem, as I was out like a light within a minute of being sedated.

I'm still waiting on the results of the biopsy from the procedure, but evidence of inflammation was found in my intestines, which isn't good. I am, however, starting to get back to serious work, as my back is now allowing me to sit in my chair and draw for more than 10 minutes at a time. I know for sure that iPhone gaming is serious business when UC San Diego offers a game development course on the SAME EXACT engine and platform I'm working on.
