Heuristic Non-Sequitors

If you haven't already checked out | insert credit |, you really should. It is arguably the best written site on gaming on the Internet.

If you've been living under a rock, check out Netflix. I seriously haven't rented from Blockbuster or any of that crap in years. I have 156 movies queued up. Yeah. I like to watch movies.

Well, still not posting regularly and I don't have the inclination to do any kind of fancy-schmancy scripts or anything because frankly, I doubt anyone has ever even read this. Still, for me it does serve as a sort of digital time capsule. I hope to use the wayback machine to take a peek at this years from now. Doing lots of research on animals right now for my current video game I am designing. Learning all kinds of crazy, useless facts about animals. Well, maybe not entirely useless. Maybe if I get lost in the woods, I'll have an 'edge'. Well, this is the weekend, so I gotta go read and play more video games. There are only so many hours in the day and I can realistically only really use up about 80% of them.

Reading: The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown, Real Bout High School (Manga)
Listening: #1 by Fischerspooner
Watching: 28 Days Later, Pirates of the Carribean, Barbershop, Band of Brothers
Playing: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (GBA), Super Puzzle Fighter II (GBA, PS), Warcraft III (PC), Planetside (PC), Dynomite (PC), Battlefield: 1942 (PC)

Yeah. Not that fast on the updates. It's um . . . March now. February's a short month. Well, I'm not going to GDC this year, but I am taking a company-paid trip down to Orlando and Tampa to go to Disney's Animal Kingdom and Busch Gardens. I finished Metroid Prime. Now I feel like I have to finish Metroid Fusion so that I can play the original (yet again). I'm at the end in Metroid Fusion, but the last bosses (yes, bosses) are pretty tough. Next, I'll be playing the Zelda: Master Quest (Ura) and Eternal Darkness until The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker comes out. I've been playing Age of Mythology again. I just ordered up Unreal Tournament 2003 and a new videocard (ATi Radeon 9500Pro DVI, if you must know). It'll be nice to get back to fraggin' at 120 fps. Fella from work let me borrow Unreal II, but he said that there's 0 replay value and that he finished it in like 10 hours. That's a bummer, but I'll probably finish that one. Once my video card is installed, I can finally play Morrowind. If you haven't seen it yet, you should check out NewType USA magazine. $9.00 an issue, but it's really nice and it comes with a DVD with trailers and a full episode of a new series not yet out in each issue. Well, I'll update again later. Someday.

So, obviously, I didn't get those links up yet. That's because a patch came out for Freedom Force and I'm tracking down all the cool custom content that I've missed. Maybe this weekend I'll put up the links. I'll have to remember to also put up a current quote. Todays is:
So now you'd better stop, and rebuild all your ruins, for peace and trust can win the day, despite of all your losing.
Funny, but I can't stop thinking about that song (and of course, the Viking Kittens) whenever I play Age of Mythology as the Norse.

Coming next (probably tomorrow). I'll add a few links on the sidebar (right):
Now Listening to (Audio)
Now Reading (Paper)
Current Favorite Link (Link)
Current Anime (Anime)
I'll also put a link to my DVD Profiler collection on the left, just above the archive section.

Here's what my current desktop is looking like:

Yes, you do see correctly. I have no games installed. My current configuration is the result of wanting to start over, but I forgot to format. I sorta have a double Windows install. Quite odd. Until I get my new motherboard (and contingent processor and RAM), I can't use my brand new 40 gig hard drive. May not sound like much to you, but after making due with 6.4 gigs for 3 years, it'll be a welcome relief. Most games these days are over a full gig install!

Well, looks like I will have to work within the confines of Blog*Spot. Seems okay though. I'll try mucking with their template, perhaps.

I liked Coldplay's Parachutes so much that I went out and bought their more recent album, A Sudden Rush of Blood to the Head. So far, so good.

My home page will go up some time this coming weekend (fingers crossed). Man, the Daily Show with John Stewart really is funny! After trying to run a city as safely as I could in Sim City 4, I've found that I just suck at running a city. Well, maybe I'll try to read some strategies. I sure do need 'em.

2003-01-21T13:44:00.000-05:00

Listening to: Coldplay's Parachutes. Good stuff.

I'm hoping this will show up correctly. I plan on setting up my home page soon, with some moderate graphics and animation, along with a more up-to-date blog.
