Brown chicken brown cow!

So, I now have one of these.



And Moxa is letting me borrow this.






All is right in the world! Also some other great news is that the Dawgs finally put a beat down on the Gators. A very exciting game - even being objective! GO DAWGS!






I finished GUN last night. Overall, it was a pretty fun game! It wasn't too deep, and therefore I could play it every couple of days and not feel like I missed out on much. But the gameplay was fast and fun, and you really do get to feel like a hardcore gunslinger. Shooting a rival cowboy off of his horse at 100 yards with a rifle bullet to the gut, and seeing him drop to the ground and roll across the dirt... sweet.

Ninja Skills

Quick update. Saw this.




It is a Ninja Remote that works with virtually any name brand television. It's just a small universal remote control, but the sheer fact that it is tiny lends it to be devious. Very devious. Imagine strolling past a sports bar while the Super Bowl is being played. Now imagine turning the TV off just as a wide receiver goes up for the big catch just as time expires. Further your imagining as dozens of people suddenly scream out in panic, anger, or pain from heart failure. This device could be incredibly dangerous in the wrong hands.

Luckily, some guy has already gone and taken our imaginations and made them real! Thank you strange foreign man!

Update-a-thon!

Two days in a row. Wow, huh? This is just to add some photos. After I got married in June 2006, my wife and I adopted a puppy in February 2007. He was a Valentine's Day present. A mutt, they told us he was a mix of Husky, Chow-Chow, and terrier. Seeing as how we were in the midst of watching 24, we had to name him Bauer.

He's been an awesome guy so far. Of course, the above picture was taken back when we first got him. 8 weeks old, 5 lbs. He's now over 10 months, and 54 lbs! Here's a more recent picture.

What a beast, huh?

WORK UPDATE!

So, since I last played around with this blog, I got a job with a company called Daktronics working UGA sporting events. Everything I do gets shown up on the Jumbotron at the different games (football, mens and womens basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball). My responsibilities range from running cameras to operating a couple computer systems that handle all the graphics and animations. I am working on a new demo reel for my work, and I am including some highlights of my camera work. Here is a short rendition that I'm pretty proud of.




GAMING UPDATE!

I've been playing some GUN, and I have to say, it's pretty fun. It has some great gunplay and shootouts, some fantastic voice acting, and great music. A very good atmosphere that, while violent and a bit over the top, comes pretty close to what the Wild West was like. At least, as far as I imagine.

Resurrection

Out of seemingly nowhere, I've decided to begin updating this blog again. Over 2 years have passed, and alot has happened. However, I'm going to keep the personal stuff short and brief. I will be taking this blog in a whole new direction. Formerly, it was more of a random thing. I would post about various things I found on the internet, or things going on in my life. The blog will surely still contain some of that. However, I hope to incorporate alot more aspects that tie into gaming. For example, on the right hand side of the blog you will see a running list of games that I'm playing now, as well as a list of games that I've beaten recently. With being married now, I have a lot less time for gaming. But I hope to keep this updated as regularly as possible.

Gaming Update!
Back in September, I took the plunge and signed up for an account at Gamefly. So far, I would rate the experience as a positive one. It sucks that the distribution center that ships to Georgia is all the way in California though. Sometimes it takes a week for a game to make it to me. Most times though, it's only around 4 days or so. So far, I've been able to play Excitetruck, Animal Crossing, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II, Mario Party 8, and a couple others thanks to Gamefly. Right now, I'm awaiting GUN for the PS2 to arrive in my mailbox. I've heard good things. It's nice to be able to keep up with the industry, without having to shell out a bunch of money buying stuff.

I should be picking up an Xbox360 in the very near future. I'm excited. The system supports a large library of great games, but the one I'm looking forward to the most is Mass Effect, set to release November 20, 2007. Everything I've seen about this game just blows me away. I'm also excited about Assassin's Creed and the possibility to play already released games like Bioshock, Halo 3, and Crackdown.

So yeah, I just want to reiterate how I'm hoping to keep this thing going. With the sheer number of quality games coming out in the near future, I'm sure I'll be good to go!
