The end of the weekend :(

I watched the Tyson documentary last night after being reminded that it was out from a friend's facebook post. It definitely wasn't all that I hoped for, I really wish he would have talked more in depth about things relating to his times with Don King and whatnot. It was heartwarming to finally see him choke up from his mentor, Cus dying and leaving him behind years prior. I had no idea he had 5 kids either, but it still sounds like he doesn't really know how to relate to people very well.

I also finally had a chance to finish Gears of War 2 with kid today. The ending was one of the worst I've ever seen. It was completely boring in every way, and of course it's building up for yet another sequel that feels quite like how the Matrix trilogy panned out. Oh well, all I'm looking forward to now is Broken Steel DLC and I'm still finishing Chronicles of Riddick. Anyway that's all for now. tata

the old days

I saw this video on Romero's site and of course since it's doom related I have to put it up. I really miss playing games like that back in the day at local lan parties where everyone would get together and we'd all try to play everything we could in about 12 hours at a time. I wonder if any other games will ever come close to the amount of fun I had back then or was it just that special, magical time period? :D

games

I've been extra bored today, especially with it being somewhat gloomy outside. I decided to try out a huge range of games today to try to spice it up. Started off with Grim Fandango, as I've never played it, it's definitely different but I really wish it was point and click like other lucasarts games. Played some Peggle as well, the game never gets old (or atleast so far) and it can become quite challenging at times. Rewards you greatly with the different sounds effects in the game though haha. Also been playing Broken Sword and at the moment am trying to get Deus Ex to work in Vista. Too many games, and what's more hilarious is they're mostly all really old. Hopefully will be headed out here shortly and do something fun this evening. If anyone has any plans or anything that sounds like fun as always msg me on here/fb/irc/etc/*!@)*)*$ :D

THE WEEKEND

hooray it's here. i've found quite a few people (or they've found me rather) since joining facebook. i kind of regret waiting this long to join until now haha. i will be out and about tonight most likely but if anyone wants to meet up i may be in op for a bit and then westport later so msg me on my phone or on irc!

new page setup

decided to make things a bit simpler and convert all this over to word press. haven't finished the images, can barely see becasue i took my contacts out hours ago, hungry and have to work in the morning. hopefully i can figure out a few more things with this since ive been up off and on because i've been sick. cough medicine rules though, feels like i saw something fly through the air awhile ago. :D
