And now we wait.

Back in Toronto, at my desk, at work.

It'll take a few days for the arbitrator to get a response, so I assume at least a week for a result on the arbitration hearing. The experience was rather low key and quick.

I took some photos of Philadelphia and all its Americana regalia. (e.g. Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin's grave, various buildings and monuments, etc.) Might've been because it was July 4th last week, but I got a BioShock/BioShock Infinite vibe. Loads of great craft beers. More than Toronto I think. And bacon fat popcorn. These people love sandwiches. I'll post some shots later tonight.

(I suddenly realize I need to travel more.)

P.S. 7-1 Germany-Brazil game? Thought that was an American football score.

EDIT (7/11/2014):Just have to pay the arbitrator for his services, and we'll get the result. My check's in the mail, so hopefully sometime early next week.
EDIT (7/21/2014): My check's been cashed. Now awaiting Julian to pay for the arbitrators services, and we can finally lay this to rest.
EDIT (7/24/2014): Results are coming today. Stay tuned.
EDIT (7/24/2014): I have lost the arbitration. According to the arbitrator, Mr. Kluk did not make knowing misrepresentations in violation of 17 U.S.C. Section 512(f).

Philly Cheese Steak, minus the cheese. Cute place called Sonny's.

One of numerous Washington statues.

The Liberty Bell. From the outside.

Another Washington tribute. In front of him was a coffin of one of his soldiers who "fought to give you Liberty."

All set to go

Good morning, Pennsylvania.

Hours away from the arbitration with Mr. Julian Kluk. All set with my lawyer, and just killing time.

Thank you all for your support. Regardless of the outcome, I'll be quite satisfied when my personal fight for free speech is finished today.

My interview at Enthusiacs.com

http://www.enthusiacs.com/smudboy-interview-the-analysis-avenger/

Here you'll read about my juicy, succulent, non-gaming, adjectivally delicious related details. And those scrumptious cupcakes.

Enthusiacs.com are a small bunch of media aficionados, who churn out several news stories a day on a variety of media (games, movies, etc), in a variety of media (posts, video, tweets, etc.) They're a relatively young group, with only a month under their DNS, but they produce some decent content. If the world needs good media critics, who produce content on a schedule, this is a good place to start.

Check em out on youtube, too.

OMG google where did you get that photo?

Going to IdeaCity 2014 Today

www.ideacityonline.com

(It's like TED talks, but in Toronto.)

Check out the live stream:

http://www.ideacityonline.com/ideacity-2014/webcast/

EDIT:
IdeaCity is a bit different than TED talks. There's no question period. Instead, there are breaks where you can talk directly with the presenters, and schmooze to your hearts content.
-I got to talk one on one with Lord Christopher Monckton before he got to present, which was later in the day (apparently, no one recognized him, even after he was talking to musical prodigy Jack Forestier and his parents.) We talked for a good 20 minutes about climate change, and some of the events he's been involved in over the years (apparently trying to debate Canada's David Suzuki on Corus Entertainment's radio program, and having Suzuki send a surrogate instead.) He had to rush to lunch, unfortunately, as this was our break time. His 15 minute presentation was verbosely entertaining.
-There was also the mentalist Haim Goldenberg I got to chat with. His presentation was definitely the most charming, and probably surprised everyone in the audience of where he was going with it. He's been in Toronto for about 9 years. He also amazed some of our break-speakers with some more art tricks.
-And Janette Murray, the 60+ year old grandmother who was diagnosed with cancer, and then decided to go on a raw food diet (85% fruit, 10% something, 5% nuts), and ran 365 marathons in 365 days with her partner Allan Murray. They did a 366th on January 1st 2014 for the heck of it. Interesting presentation, and a good way to top off the panel on longevity (especially when we were talking about telomerase therapy with Michael Fossel, amazing work by Andrew Hessel in creating cancer targeted treatment with synthetic viruses & 3D printing, and Tanya Jones wanting to create an organ bank or at least an established system for preserving organs throughout the world.

Help me fight censorship

About a year in the making, I can finally talk about what's been going on, and holding me back all this time.

In this video, I formally make requests for donations on my arbitration hearing in Pennsylvania on July 8th.

If you have any more complicated questions about the case, feel free to ask them here.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Plot Analysis Part 11

I think they forgot the man parts. And the epidermis. And the art of sneaking up on someone. Just what was this guy doing before? Did he jump into position as soon as Adam entered the room? For that matter, what was Zhao doing, prancing around in this room with a pad? She couldn't do that from her ivory tower made of evil medical money? Why did she come to Singapore?

Finally getting around to finishing this series up.

Vote: What should I analyze next?

Yes, yes, I'll be finishing up Deus Ex:HR. But I need to get going on another analysis.
