It’s about time for me to admit to the fact that I’ve had severe Writer’s Block as of lately. But it’s not just in regards to blogs and lists, but I’ve even been struggling to try to come up with a decent comment.
What Happened: After playing DK64 a decent amount of time, screen froze, and there was a noise like someone stomping on crunchy grass.
In today's blog, The Original Ser works through an issue and buys a big-ass stack of games.
In the MIA March Madness thing on the front page.Not much else to say, as I played no games today, just ran and walked in the rain to give myself room for the pizza tonight in my calorie budget.
Well a lot's been going on at the moment, my wife and I have just moved to Australia which is exactly the other side of the world and my dear old ma is not too happy about it, but hey a guy can only take so much bad weather which England has in spades! We decided on Perth (WA) and its absolutely amazing out here. It's fast approaching winter but the temperature is well into the thirties and the sun makes for a ultra relaxed attitude, though the price of stuff will take some getting used too, it works out to be about £10 ($15 Aus dollars) for a pint of beer! Great incentive to cut down though.
I finished the halo 4 campaign this morning. It was one of the most satisfying campaigns that I have played in recent memory. In fact, I may rank it second as far as my favourite halo campaign.
Last Sunday, I watched the season 3 finale of The Walking Dead. It was also the season 3 premier of Game of Thrones. I didn't watch that one until yesterday on Xfinity. Since those are my two favorite shows on right now, I figured that I would do a opinion piece on what I think of them. Not only that, but I also wanted to say how I liked the game versions released in 2012.
No, that's not lolcatz speak, Texas Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish was so close to having a perfect game that my dad called me and woke me up to see ... that the Astros hit his ball with one out left in the bottom of the ninth. Oh well, still a perfect seven to zero, which I think means, or at least meant before, Papa John's pizza deals for Rangers fans.We took advantage of that A LOT in previous seasons (rule is/was, if Rangers win and have at least seven points, you get half off your order; I think Jerry Jones owning a few franchise stores in TX had something to do with it).
Thoughs of you may or may not know there was two patches released today for pc, 360 & ps3 theres a borderlands 2 update and for season pass holders the level cap patch was released and for FarCry 3 a patch was released today and for Forza Horizon a patch and the new car pack was released for season pass holder. so any way thought I would let ya know uncase you missed it.
I wrote a previous blog about pre ordering both of these titles and now its time to do a lil update on them. Defiance released today and for my area, it wasnt a good release day. Not anything personal with the game but we had some bad storms roll through for some of the day and internet + storms is not a good combo. So I actually havent gotten to do much with it, but I like what I had done/seen. im excited to get back to it and continue working on my character.
Hey everyone, just wanted to share the new shift codes good for 5 golden keys. They are supposed to be good for a few days, they didn't give a expiration. Enjoy! Laters.
I finished another Metal Gear game tonight. It was an impulse play. I wasn't planning on even playing the game but once I started i just couldn't stop. And I mean I didn't stop. I never did save, not even once.
Well now, I've done it. I set out today to complete my game collection page here and after a couple of hours it's done. So go ahead everyone: take a look. Let me know what you think. What have I got that you also enjoy, what do I absolutely need to get, what on this list can you not believe someone owns. I await your input with baited breath.
Ranger stuff: As of today, I am once again gainfully employed in my chosen profession. My boss is overjoyed to have me back on from seasonal layoff, I'm overjoyed to be back. Highlights of the first day back: getting one of the projects Andy (my boss) has been feverishly working on (and stressing out over) typed up and ready for him to send out tomorrow AM (thus removing the stress), seeing the male osprey on the nest and having him do a low fly-by about 15 feet away from me, getting the back room at HQ organized and stuff separated out that needs to be gotten rid of. A project that has been on my last for a year now. A not so wonderful thing was having to scrub poo off the outhouse toilet seat. We have no running water in the park until the danger of a hard freeze is completely over and it is a major pain in the ass to clean messes like that up. Andy had gotten the worst of it off, but he ran out of water in his bucket before he could finish. Other than that, it was a good first day back.
I hope everyone is doing well. I was playing a lot of God of War: Ascension which I think is pretty good. It seemed like more of the same but those huge set piece moments continue to impress me. I just beat Bioshock Infinite on hard. The 1999 Mode sounds pretty daunting but with so much else to play. I will finish up on God of War and start on other games (such as XCOM: Enemy Unknown). I will say that Bishock Infinite is an incredible game. I might have to say my favorite of the year next to Tomb Raider. Now besides gaming, I been watching Breaking Bad which I finished up. There is a few things that have been annoying me and to blog, I decided to forgo pictures.
So there it was, I finally got a Jury Duty Summons. This was something I really wasn’t regretting because after all these years of voting this was one I could actually attend. The last time I got Jury Duty it was during Finals Week of my last semester in college. When I called to get it pushed back the lady on the other end was quite rude, and I said in her tone “I MUST GO” I countered with it was right in the middle of my Finals and I MUST GRADUATE. She tried to bully me, and I countered with the same thing, finally she gave up and I got excused. Flash forward to last week when I got my first Jury Duty Summons since that point. You could say I was a little excited (watching Law & Order, and other court dramas can do that to me)
Hey everyone! So this is something I did in the past with our then much smaller fan base, but I figured it would be fun to do it again with everyone that's new here. Straight hi-jacking the text from my last blog entry on this:
I tend to stay away from the internet on April Fools' Day. The lack of conversational inflection confuses me and I can't tell if people are joking or not until long after the joke has been told and I'm actually still wondering if the joke was on me or on everybody. I'd like to think I'm very good conversationally in person, but maybe I just don't hear sarcasm when it's being written out.
