My Blog Posts
so that's why...
Ever since the next gen system wars began, I have been quietly ignoring it. I can't afford any of them right now, and the DS looks soooo appealing. I know, logically, that I will own a PS3 in...
So my girlfriend and I went out to a swanky restaurant last night to celebrate our 4 year anniversary. The food was great ( Barcelona in German Village, Columbus) and so were the drinks. ...
7 years ago to the month, I tore my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the miniscus in my right knee. One year later, I tore the rest of the miniscus in the same knee. And 6 years later, one...
I won't ever get used to the rain in the Midwest. We got more rain by noon than my hometown will get all year. At least it is an excuse to stay indoors and loose my self in pixelated...
Apparently I am to receive a formal prefix. Though it means that school will be prolonged for another 3 years, at least my formal education will be absolutely finished. I fear for the cables...
My lab has some new equipment. Yay, that makes my thesis more solid. Boo, that makes my life more difficult. Although, I must admit, having no real schedule is kind of nice. I may take a...
I need to start keeping receipts longer for used games.
My computer was experiencing the notorious "right-click freeze up" yesterday, a problem experienced once before and remedied only by a hard drive reimaging. Luckily, it mysteriously resolved...
Okay, what happened to my Top Reviewer icon? I had it for a day, and now it is gone.
Dear dark lords, am I really considering going for a PhD? That would mean another half dozen classes and another 3 years of research. Have I lost it? At least I would be done with formal...
There's going to be a veritable racquetball orgy today, and though I enjoy the game immensely, my knee whimpers in anticipation of the strain. Supposedly there's a chemE guy who brings a tough...
I informally submitted my first paper to one who is a formal reviewer, and he said that I have spun gold from straw. A few minor changes, and I should have my first publication in a refereed...
I don't know how it started, but EGM just started sending me mags in the mail a couple of months ago. Then I got a bill for a year's subscription yesterday. I don't know why they started sending...
erg, I need to lay off the late-night FPS games. Makes for very stressful dreams. :?
I finally beat Metroid Prime, and I must say I enjoyed the ride. Anyway, now I am mulling over what to do next. I mean, I do have a manuscript to publish in a few weeks, and gaming is not...
So I have already sung the praise of the file-wire game packs, and I think my own words will do me in. Elaborating, I plan to purchase the NES and Genesis packs as well. I won't purchase the...
So I was comparing my collection to those of others, and was wowed to come accross a guy with over 1,000 games . Shocked, I say. Then I looked closely at his collection, and realized he was...
I am so amazed by how fun Metroid Prime is to play. I see myself clearing it soon, and I won't bother for 100% because I did that with Super Metroid and I didn't feel much satisfaction knowing...
The damned poster is finally done. Now I can get away from that grad school "get yourself ready for life" crap and focus on pixelated pleasures. I have to play Metroid Prime still, and Xmen...
So I have had certain game reviews called out by fellow gamers who disagree with what I have to say. First of all, we are all entitled to our opinions, and unless I have falsely stated some...
