Kupowered: Blah Blah, Storms, but now an idea!

Blah Blah, Storms, but now an idea!

So, it kind of sucks when it storms and I can't, like, get around to post because I have to turn off the computer and such to prevent it getting all screwed up by a surge. Especially when I just can't even post "Hey, will be late" or something of the sort. So I was thinking how I could change that, and the obvious mobile solution came up as, well, so long as the power's not out, we still have internet. It's just that I don't have anything powerful enough to keep on keeping on in the meantime yet. I mean, sure, I could use my PS3, but if I don't have the computer on, I'm sure as hell not going to have the PS3 on.

So, I started messing around on my PSP to see what I could do on it. Blogger doesn't work too well on it; I can write up a post, but it just won't....post. Which is none too helpful. And then I thought, "Hey, I have a Twitter I don't use, and Twitter is a mobile thing." and tried that out. Hey, it works! So, while it may not be an optimal solution, I at least have a fairly reasonable outlet to use if I'll have to be late in posting or such. Which, hey, maybe you don't care that much and maybe I don't, even, but I get bored during thunderstorms. So if you're interested, here is my Twitter. Clearly, you don't have to follow me there (and especially don't -make- one to do so) and I'm not asking that, but just keep the link handy; if there's not a post up here around the midnight time (as I am just above the wire sometimes) I'll likely have a tweet (urgh) about it.

In other news, expect that "A Look Back" article about Rune Factory sometime next week. I know I said 'in the next day or so' and even my 'next week' is flimsy, since you know, E3, but I've also run into a brick wall that I have to hammer through as per the games rules. It is not a good idea by any means, and it's just frustrating in the worst way (trust me, I will elaborate in the article) but it's not bad enough that I have to slam the game for it. Just get....really bitter about it.

Update!: I also got the bright idea to use my Twitter to post about whenever I update a post with new info or fix broken pictures or something. Productivity is rising, folks.

What's all this, then?

This is going to be many things, but first and foremost, it is, quite simply and unsurprisingly, a place for me to write. Sometimes about video games, sometimes about movies, and other times, just to write out mini-stories and the like. As an outlet for me, it will likely reflect how I am; at times it will be entertaining, and other times it will be informative. I just hope that every time it's interesting at the very least.

The current goal is a post every other day to settle myself in; eventually, I will seek to post every day, if just to raise an inquiry that I've found I've tripped over most of that day, or to retell an amusing, or perhaps less so, tale from the day. I find that I can be long-winded at times, so perhaps this will be less of a concern than I imagine!

While it would make sense to change this to grow as "Kupowered" does, I hope to keep this just as it is and, sometime down the road, re-read it with a slight chuckle and mumble to myself, "I did it." So take this as a mission statement, if you will, and we will see how it works out!

Handy Post-Types Guide!

A Look Back: In lieu of reviews (which I might do in the future), these posts will be fond recollections of older games from my past, telling you why I believe them to be good and why you might be interested in playing them.
Giant Robot On: I like Giant Robots. Who doesn't? These posts will always be talking about something with Giant Robots in it, be it video games or anime or movies.
Less-Short Story: On occasion, inspiration will hit me and I'll want to write a short story or, as the name implies, expand on a story from my old Ficly. That will be these posts.
LittleBigThings: In these posts, I will be discussing (read: gushing about) things in the LittleBigPlanet series of games, from the game itself, to user-created levels, to my own adventures in Craftworld.
Music!: Fairly self-Explanatory. In these posts, I will talk (gush) about music I like, and possibly music that I don't care for.
Popcorn On: These posts will revolve around movies that I've seen that are just great in one way or another. The aim is to give you enough to interest you into seeing it without giving too much so that you feel you know what's going to happen.
Quick Note: These will usually be, as can be expected, short posts to keep in touch with the blog and it's readers if I'm not prepared for a full post or if I'm updating on a past post.
Ragequit: Completely opposite of A Look Back, these posts will be about the few games I've had to quit playing because they just weren't fun. (Or that I might have finished, but still hated.)

There will likely be more types of posts added in the future that will be explained here.
