Over the weekend I played Fallout. It's one of those games that I didn't catch when it was new back in '97, and always kind of regretted missing, as it's remembered as a major milestone in the evolution of the western CRPG. The premise is the post-nuclear society of Southern California in the latter half of the 22nd century. Though what has ( Read more... )

E3 has come and gone. Microsoft's Peter Moore continues to demonstrate that Gates knows when to let somebody more engaging and genuine do the talking, and Nintendo finally delivered incontrovertible proof that there is just something wrong with the water in Japan with the unveiling of its new console's name, "Wii". But the big news of the show, ( Read more... )

It's a slow day at the HP campus, so I feel like updating. Not a lot is new, to be honest. I recently corrected the crimes committed when I didn't buy Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Psychonauts when they first came out. Both are highly recommended to anyone who likes fun. I have finished a play-through of Oblivion and started a second ( Read more... )

So there's this game, and it's called Seed. I haven't played it yet because I had to leave the patcher running through the night yesterday. Hopefully when I get home tonight I'll have a chance. So I can't say anything about what it is like to play this game. I can say, though, that as a game design concept this is probably the most intriguing ( Read more... )

I have been playing Oblivion for just shy of a week now, and I think it’s time to talk about it. Not just because I’m obsessed with the game - which I am - but also because the reviews I’ve read never seem to represent the experience I’ve had with it. I think that needs to be corrected, if only in this little space ( Read more... )

Well, I said that I would update this journal when I had a job to report. Time to deliver ( Read more... )

Well, I told myself that my next entry here was going to be an announcement that I had found a job. Hence the long silence ( Read more... )

Well, grades are in and I'm out. I actually failed not one but two classes this time, Career Development (expected) and Web Application Development (baffling). I guess I could talk to the professor of the latter, seeing as how I didn't realize I was in trouble in that class, but there's really not much point. I mean, one failed class is one too ( Read more... )

Senior Project is over. We did very well. We won an award. I even learned a thing or two about working in a competent group (very different from the other groups I've worked with at DeVry). It was a valuable learning experience, but there's not a lot I can think of to say about it here, except that I'm glad it's over ( Read more... )

Wow, it's been a little while since I've updated this. What's new to talk about ( Read more... )
