Happy Birthday to me
I turn 23 today...a rather uneventful mark in the timeline of my life, but eventful enough otherwise to warrant two parties. One tomorrow night (er...tonight, later) with some of my relatives, and... Oh Goody, More Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
Interesting timing , given the border was to be (finally) re-opened. It's more interesting to me, perhaps, as I've worked summer jobs with the Ministry of Agriculture here in BC for the past... A [Modest] Canadian Christmas Haul
The break went okay - it was a little less vacation than I had hoped, but I also get from now until January 4th to do absolutely nothing, so I can't complain there. My cousin is down for the week... Merry Chris...wait, I mean 'Happy Holidays'
This will probably be my last post of any sort on Gamespot until after Christmas. I have my last exam tonight in two hours - don't ask me whose bright idea it was to schedule an exam at 7pm on a... Cooking with DJ_Lae: Volume One
I don't pretend to be a particularly good cook, although I suppose at the same time my idea of 'cooking' doesn't revolve around ramen and/or Kraft dinner. And with all due respect to Tim's cooking... Revisiting Baldur's Gate II
I still have my Collector's Edition box tucked away in the closet somewhere and all the other stuff, from the gold-coloured discs to the bonus disc and cards, is tucked safely away too. It's a... Quite possibly the most beautiful CD player ever designed
And my girlfriend rocks. See my previous entry regarding my gift, which arrived today in time to drown out the silly people at the university and leaving me to study in my own little world. It's... Importing things to Canada
If there's one remarkably annoying thing about living in this country (okay, it's the only annoying thing) it's with regards to import taxes and duties and processing fees. Now, it wouldn't be... Somewhat shameful music admissions
I suppose we all have little habits or just things we like that we've somewhat ashamed of - music is something that certain people like to obsess over, and if anyone (god help them) doesn't listen... 'So I beat Halo 2 tonight,' in lieu of a creative title
Going in I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the experience - to be perfectly honest, I didn't care for the first Halo's single-player, from the ho-hum level design (and in the case of the library, the... Greatest game of the year (so far...)
This year has seen some fairly big games come out - though I realize, of course, that the three biggest don't come out for up to a few weeks. Though to be truthful, I'm not particularly looking... Vivid visualization
I might as well start with a cliche given that it's floating around in my head and at the moment I don't much agree with it: a picture is worth a thousand words. I don't disagree that the thousand... Burnout 3 and my beloved .223 pistol
Burnout 3 is a rather interesting game to sit back and think about. It's an adrenaline rush, certainly, but not to any significant extent over the previous entry in the series. The addition of... Zelda would be horrified with me
Everyone has guilty admissions, I suppose, so I shouldn't feel any different. Yet due to the nature of my gaming over the course of my life, I have missed a lot of the so-called classics. So... Playing in the Sandbox
Not that little sandbox your dad built for you in the backyard when you were two or three, filling it with a mix of sand and dirt that you quickly turned into a muddy obstacle course for all your... Smashing heads into brick walls
Erik the Swift is one of the few (if not the only) videogame heroes that shares my name. I just wish I could run as fast as him and jump as high, and be able to do that cool ramming attack to... Fable Owns Me, and Mummies
I mean really owns me. The highest compliment I can give a game isn't a verbal one - if a game is really good, it'll hold its place in whatever console it happens to be for until I beat it, and... Penny Arcade Board
A throw-back to residence, partially because about 3/4 of the comics I just put up were printed out then. I had them up on my walls there, sort of haphazardly. They attracted attention, much like... Setting conditions and Gamespot teases
The first resulted from the second - sometimes there is just so much attention paid to new releases and so much praise for them that I'm unable to sit still without getting a little ancy in my... New apartment, new classes, fewer games
My girlfriend and I have finally settled into our apartment, a full week after getting back to Victoria and hauling boxes all over the place. Telus fudged our internet as well, which put us out of...
