People hate the smArtist!

I just ran across a website on accident that has a few people ripping on me and my site. It made me laugh, and I wanted to post it here.

Here’s the IndieGamer forums post.

And here are the highlights:

What a shit website. That guy sucks and is full of it.

I just can’t [listen to Jon Jones], because he calls himself the smARTIST. Next!

“smArtist” may be the dumbest name since “Wii”

the term “smArtist” made me cringe. My first thought about what it meant was “Smart A** Artist”. :D

You guys made my day. :)  In all honesty, I am HONORED to be important enough to be criticized! You can’t please everybody, and I’ve been waiting for a while for someone to speak up against me. I’m sending this to all my friends!

It was also nice to see a couple people stick up for me, including good ol’ Gianfranco over at GBGames! Thanks buddy! :)

I love Austin!

Haven’t been posting much because I’m having so much of a blast here. Been hanging out with friends I’d made eons ago online, trying new food, visiting places, and moving into my amazing kick-ass condo.

This is the nicest place I’ve ever lived. 1000 sq ft, 2 bed, 1 bath, 25ft vaulted ceilings with a skylight, a massive kitchen, a huge walk-in closet, and a patio with a view of miles and miles of beautiful rolling green hills. I’m so happy here. The movers just arrived and I’ve moved everything in now and it’s the coolest place I can imagine. Total bachelor pad!

Here are some pictures. I’m so proud, I gotta gush, like a new father:

Living room! The living room is huge and awesome. The bookshelf in the back corner is massive, and it connects to a really great-sized dining room.

Living room \ patio! This is a cool, lamely dramatic shot of the setting sun’s rays blasting into the living room. The kitchen is in the background.

Kitchen! This kitchen is amazing. Beautiful tile floor, tile countertops, more counter and cabinet space than I could EVER know what to do with, and all the appliances were included with the condo. It’s gorgeous, I love my kitchen.

The PATIO with the AMAZING view. My outdoor patio is huge, has an external closet storage area, and *THIS* view. Holy shit. I got this place on the sole basis of having such an amazing view. It faces west, too, so I get to see the sun set over this amazing vista every single night. Can you believe that? My god, I’m in love.

The bathroom! I love this bathroom. The countertops are gorgeous, there’s tons of room, and the shower is one of those cool hand-held shower massager things that you see in hotel rooms a lot. Love it.

Artsy patio shot of the view! I see this every night. Wow.

Another shot of The View. No Star Jones attached! This thing is gorgeous in the rain. All the varied clouds I get to see are amazing, too.

This is the best place on earth. I love the job, too. SO HAPPY. For the 4th, I got to see a fantastic fireworks show with friends during a severe lightning storm with the most INCREDIBLE lightning bolts I’ve ever seen or heard of. What an amazing night. Austin kicks ass. You should come visit.
