GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Oct 23, 2009

1. My name is Paul Urbach. Like Bach the composer. It's not that hard people. Call me Ur-back and you're likely to get slapped.

2. I live in Orlando, FL (USA for those not in the know) right near all the attractions. Disney is as fun as expected. Universal gets boring. Sea World is amazingly underrated.

3. I am currently house shopping with my girlfriend, and hoping to find something in the next month in order to get that $8000 tax credit.

4. I have two dogs, yet they can hardly be referred to as such. They look more like rats and act like spoiled, needy children.

5. I've been gaming all my life. The first game I can remember playing is River Raid on my dad's Atari 65XE, which was basically a keyboard and joystick plugged into a disk drive plugged into a TV, but they still called it a computer.

6. I thought RPGs were boring and too complicated until I played Diablo. Then I tried TES: Daggerfall and was hooked. Now its my favorite genre.

7. I helped my friend start the gaming website, gamefury.net, but it doesn't have as much traffic as we would like because four times now he randomly decided he doesn't like the look of it, deletes it, then started over from scratch.

8. I was born in Ohio. We moved to Florida when I was 10 because, well, it was Ohio.

9. I work for the Department of Transportation watching traffic cameras on the interstates and toll roads in the Orlando area.

10. I am currently hooked on Borderlands, after which I will go back to Oblivion and finish it up, then give Fallout 3 another playthrough. I'll be busy for a while.

That's all I got for ya. I'll tag hank 101 since he has been neglecting his blog for the past couple weeks.

Interesting facts, and darn it I was hoping to escape this tagging thing! Oh well though, I have been tagged by about three people in the past day or so.

My sister and her bf just got a house, so good luck with that. (I *so* can't wait for my sis to leave! ) And I don't blame your family for leaving Ohio. I've been through it lots of times and it's easily THE most boring state you could ever have the misfortune of driving through. Though I haven't been to Iowa yet. I bet that's pretty bad cuz it's all corn. And Borderlands looks awesome! Too bad I have WAY too many other games to play right now.

Are you working with a realtor? The reason I ask is in regards to the $8000 credit. Unless the government extends or improves the program, buyers must close on the house by November 30. Putting in an offer or going under contract by Nov 30 is not good enough. The bank close must take place, and you take ownership of the house before December. Up here in Massacusetts, it is taking about 5-6 weeks to close on a house. So some buyers may lose out if they waited too long and can't get the closing done in time. Do you know how long closings are taking down there?

When I was around 7 or 8, we lived in Illinois for a little over a year, but drove to visit family back in Ohio all the time. Eastern Illinois, all of Indiana and western Ohio is literally all the same corn field.

@PixelHunter
Yeah, we have a realtor. We actually just put an offer in on a house today. They know we were shooting for the $8000 so both sides are working to make it happen, but we're prepared if we miss it.
