Summer Anime Review (Part 3, Final)...
Since summer is most definitely over this'll be the last of my summer animes to review. The last two are Baccano! (a series I've become very fond of) and Higurashi (season 2).
Baccano! -
This series was the biggest surprise of the whole summer. I'd heard relatively little of it and to my knowledge only one (maybe 2) subbing group has taken the ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes ya just hafta Geek out (MTG)...
From time to time it's nice to just geek it out old school. I hadn't played any Magic The Gathering in quite a long time (thanks Sara). Brings back a lotta memories of playing back at Bakersfield College and even before that in High School. MTG is one of those few table top games that has amazingly transcended time. It's not quite as popular as ( Read more... ) -
Bioshock, Easily Game of the Year Despite Release Issues
If I could say nothing else, I'd say "Bioshock is the best damn game ever, buy it!"
It's been a rocky launch for Bioshock this week, especially considering the big mistakes made earlier this August even before the official release. It's not really 2K's (the company producing the game) fault, but rather it seems to be just a ton of bad luck in rapid ( Read more... ) -
Thanks for comin' out... (Blues Fest)
Thanks for coming out to the blues fest and volunteering again this year (I'll assume you know who you are). It's not our preferred music genre, takes up almost an entire day, and all we end up doing is working to exhaustion and not really enjoying the event... but somehow we get roped into it every year so the ol' folks can enjoy themselves.

Bioshock, No multiplayer (yet), sorry no Shodan either...
I'm very excited that Irrational is making games, even if it's not a System Shock sequel. It's a bit of a bummer that they've had to be assimilated into another company just to squeeze out what could be their last "original" game, but worse things have happened to smaller game developers. Like when EA took hold of Virgin and canceled the hell out ( Read more... ) -
Accidentally Aquired 5.1 Audio is Awesome...
When I say I accidentally purchased a 5.1 surround system, I really didn't intend to end up with one. Buy.com had limited stock as well as a great deal so I impulsively ordered the product with the intention of canceling later on. In fact I had put in a request to cancel that same evening, however the system had already shipped the very same day ( Read more... ) -
Summer Anime Review (Part 2)...
Well I've had a few weeks to check out some more of the Summer Anime series I have taking up mad space on my hard drive. There were a few unexpectedly good titles sitting around unbeknowst to me. Just a reminder on how I rate them: must see (+) maybe (?) or meh (-).
New Series:
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya -
This series kind of came as a ( Read more... ) -
An awesome summer starts to fizzle...
Summer is winding down and soon things will be picking up for the schoolies and I'm no longer among them. It's a transition that's a little different than the other keystones of growing up. Each stage of education leads to the next and keeps you busy in the non-summer hours. When you graduate High School and start college there's a feeling of ( Read more... ) -
Summer Anime Review...
Summer may be coming rapidly to a close, but it was certainly a very enjoyable one. Between the nice trips I was able to go on, new games I got to play, and awesome meals I was able to eat I was also able to get in a fair ammount of anime watching this summer. In addition to catching a glimpse of some new series I was also able to catch up on ( Read more... ) -
The joys of providing Technical Support...
Though it's not the primary function of my job, nor what I went to school for, providing tech support for an agency that uses computers is unavoidable. There's not too much praise or fun to be had in that portion of the job. I mean sure there are the couple divisions that may or may not throw down a holiday bonus if they feel you treated them ( Read more... )
