There's Too Much M in UMD

It's March. I guess I'm supposed to be mad or something. Let's see, is there anything I can be mad about? Technically, this March celebrates my one year anniversery of ceasing to be the Do Nothing Man. I can't really complain about that; even though I'm employed, I still do plenty of nothing.

The fact that the PS Vita isn't getting the UMD transfer passport program in the states kind of pisses me off. I mean, makes me mad, march mad. Too much M.

Anyway, I have a decent UMD library. And I bought what will probably be my last UMD PSP game this week from Amazon. That makes the count twenty games with three UMD Resident Evil movies for a total twenty-three part collection.

What about another type of madness? What if the UMD had actually succeeded? Knocking off DVDs and CDs as perfered media, there would be packs of ten blank UMDs and a special drive for computers (or you could take the stupid plastic shell off the disc). Car UMD players and special visor sleeves. Out there, occupying the infinite space between the atoms of our universe, exists another universe where the UMD dominated. Think about that. That's madness.

Eventually the physical disc format will completely die, but I wish the UMD had caught fire and lived until the age of the Blu-ray. Blu-UMD? Think of all the crazy data we could've squeezed onto those cute little discs.
