Knighthood uprising calculation
Jotting this down for my own reference. The true calculation is undocumented, and this formula is a guess based on a previous occurrence. Uprising was listed as 11% and increased to 12% when one seized vassal increased from 55 to 56 power. After a subsequent rebellion, uprising fell to 0%.
% uprising = ([vassal TAS] + [vassal power]) / (total power of non-squire/serf vassals)
(40 + 56) / 812 = 12%

Picked up Guitar Hero 2 with wired guitar controller from Fry's today for $60, which was a lucky find. Yes, I am so behind as GH2 came out over a year ago, but I played it for the first time over the Thanksgiving holiday. The sales guy that chatted us up about GH3 probably thought we were college kids as we were shopping at 2pm on a weekday. I feel better about not being able to buy the dual-guitar setup directly from the Red Octane web store for $110 (back-ordered until Feb 2008?!). The addiction begins again...
The attention to detail in Grand Theft Auto 3 is simply incredible. Last night, I knocked a woman onto the tracks, watched her get crushed by a train as she scrambled to get off the tracks, and laughed hysterically as I witnessed my handiwork through the gap between the car and the platform. "You're a subway pusher!" Hoo boy. Well, it sure beats watching reality TV.
Tempted to grab State of Emergency (PS2) on sale at Circuit City for $40. Must maintain some semblance of discipline...
The bribery scandal surrounding the SLC bid to host the Olympics was bad enough, but after watching the pairs skating results last night, I say, "Screw the Olympics."
So now that I have been playing MGS2 so much, I am HOOKED on the MGS (original) soundtrack. Waaaah!
The MGS2 intro is so stunning that I feel like my heart is going to burst every time I watch it. Beautiful.
MGS2 is pretty bad-ass. Too bad I don't have a stinkin' PS2 memory card so I can save...
So cold here. It'll be nice to be back in Houston.
It's been so long since I played any PSX that I failed to notice what a cool game Resident Evil 2 is... Scared the crap out of me last night.
