Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma.


MMO Players as Cool as Ever
January 19, 2008

Just saw this on gamespot. Read the whole thing.

Massively multiplayer online gamers have developed an unsavory reputation in the eyes of many over the years due to their fanatical devotion and often rabid fan base. That untoward perception was enhanced this week, when Russia Today reported a Moscow man was murdered after a real-life confrontation between two rival Lineage II guilds went sour.

After the man's guild reportedly killed a rival's character in-game, the two guilds agreed to have it out in real life. The ensuing brawl left one so badly injured he subsequently died from his injuries in route to a local hospital. The Russia Today report did not indicate whether official charges had been filed, though it did indicate that a 22-year-old man has confessed to the beating.

Forums
January 18, 2008

There are some good topics up on the forums that have gotten less than 10 responses. I want to see some damn input.

To be a little more specific I'm talking about the games discussion section. There are new topics like best and worst all-time game and favorite and least favorite boss fights that I'm sure everyone has a pretty strong opinion on.

I'm excited and pissed off right now.
January 17, 2008

I'm pretty pumped because a good friend of mine is flying up to Green Bay from Dallas tomorrow and we are going to the Packers Giants game on Sunday. This is going to be a really fun weekend and if the pack wins I'm going to try and find Superpowl tickets.

I'm pissed off because Cloverfield isn't being shown in Green Bay. Marcus Theaters think they are being charged to much to show the movie so they aren't showing it. The same thing happened with Sweeney Todd. There is a theater about a half hour away that will be showing the movie, so I'll be able to see it one way or another. Maybe I should open a movie theater in Green Bay that doesn't suck, shows more independent films, and has better popcorn.

I'll be damned
January 16, 2008

My blog has over 1300 hits so far. That seems pretty good considering I don't really contribute anything to this site and I'm not the greatest at putting my thoughts into words. But hey, I must be doing something sort of right once in a while.

On another topic I want to go see Cloverfield this weekend. I remember seeing the first trailer this past summer where it didn't even tell you the name of the movie. Some kind of monster or something is kicking New Yorks ass and I want to know what this thing is.

Go Packers!!!
January 12, 2008

My brother and I are going to the Packer Seahawk game in a few hours. If they win it will be a great day, if they lose I'll be 10 times more pissed off than if I'd just watched on TV. I have a bit of a quandary thought. I started a diet(I'm trying to lose about 20lbs) and I'm not supposed to have more than a few drinks(beers) a week. I don't know if this is possible at Lambeau Field.

(Untitled Post)
January 05, 2008

I transferred my gamertag to my younger brother's 360 a day or 2 before Christmas. I was finally able to recover it on my 360 today thanks to the Xbox live problems over the last week or so.

I don't know when I'm going to start this, but I'm going to pump up my gamerscore by beating King Kong, TMNT, and hitting some easy achievements on a bunch of sports games. I don't really care about my gamerscore, but for some reason this idea sounds fun.


Orange Box Goodness
January 04, 2008

I got a deal on The Orange Box a few weeks ago at my local video store(29.99). So far I've finished portal, played a round or 2 or team fortress, and started half life 2. Everything about Portal was great, Team Fortress seems really fun so far, and everyone knows how good half life 2 is.

I think The Orange Box is my game of the 2007 with Rock band, Mario Galaxy, and CoD4 up there as well. I still have to play Mass Effect witch could alter my previous statement.
