I've been sickly for the past couple of days. Woke up yesterday with a sore throat and my sinuses horribly congested, and despite consuming large quantities of Vitamin C (thank you, Jamba Juice) during the day, and hot tea spiked with whiskey all last night, I wasn't much better today. I spent the vast majority of today sleeping, waking up ( Read more... )

I just watched Barack Obama's victory speech, and I'm not the least bit ashamed to say that I was moved to tears. Granted, the whiskey I've been consuming for most of the evening probably helped contribute to my emotional state, but this is a cause for celebration ( Read more... )

There's a lot to be said for wandering a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, scavenging for food, medicating radiation sickness, and battling giant mutant ants that breathe fire. Yes, "Fallout 3" has arrived, and it threatens to consume me. The sheer amount of choices you find yourself faced with is staggering, and the massive, seamless gameworld ( Read more... )

Remember that thing I said, about not wanting to talk too much about the new relationship, lest I should jinx it? Maybe I shouldn't have said anything at all. You'll notice my MySpace and Facebook status has changed again. It came as a surprise, and I'm still not entirely sure what went wrong, but hey - these things happen. Anyone who knows me ( Read more... )

Had two relatives pass away recently, but I didn't find out about it until today. That'll bring you down, let me tell you ( Read more... )

Went with Dave to see a sneak preview of "W" last night in Scottsdale. I enjoyed it, he didn't. I thought they did a fairly even-handed portrayal of the man, although the film could certainly have benefited from better editing - parts of it dragged horribly, and if not for the superb performance turned in by Josh Brolin, I would've lost interest ( Read more... )

12 days since my last entry. Shit. So much for staying on top of the updates, yeah ( Read more... )

I'm back from vacation, and it seems like getting away for a few days was exactly what I needed. I feel a lot more relaxed and refreshed, and as we head into the 4th quarter (the busiest time of the year for us folks in the game industry), I'm finding it easier to keep my focus on the tasks ahead ( Read more... )

Wednesday night found me driving to a bar in Glendale (or Avondale... not really sure which) and hanging out with Kristal, who was having a relationship-related crisis. She was pretty upset when I got there, but after a few drinks, a few tears, and a few hours of playing pool and pumping copious amounts of money into the jukebox, she seemed to be ( Read more... )

I'm not exactly the world's biggest "Star Wars" nerd - more like a casual fan. I enjoyed the original trilogy, thought the new trilogy was passable, and have a tremendous love for the "Knights of the Old Republic" video games (and I still believe that if Lucas had hired THOSE cats to write the new movies, they would've been exponentially better ( Read more... )
