Head long

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

Well I’ve jumped head long into the world of gaming again.  I’ve not played any video games in heavy amount since early years of college.  Back then it was Duke Nukem 3D, Hexen, Quake2, and my favorite StarCraft.  Soon there after I built my own computer power house and it was the days of Counter Strike, Diablo2, and Age of Empires.  It was back when networking was a black art that most people didn’t do.  I remember when we stepped up and got NIC’s in our pc’s.  Then we setup a small LAN there in the dorms between like 30 computers with our cables running though closets and hallways.  Oh the memories.

Well a couple weeks ago I finally bought an Xbox360.  I’m always a few years behind the curve.  I bought a PS2 like years and years after it came out, same now with this 360.  Now I find myself once again enjoying games and playing probably way too much.  Xbox Live and its online system makes it too easy and nice to play online, which is basicly the only way I’ve been playing.  Its even a way some of my friends and myself are able to do stuff on a semi regular basis.  So…I do feel a bit guilty now cause it seems its all I do now that I get home.  I have hours and hours of recorded shows on the DVR I need to watch, but just dont want to.  If its not one of the 4 or 5 shows I really enjoy they just sit there taking up space to be watched in my spare time.

Be it good or bad…Im back into gaming.

Days off

Monday, January 21st, 2008

Well Im off today.  What am I going to do with this precious time?  I doubt anything at all.  As the usual, my body wakes up at 8am every day if I dont wake up earlier.  So that means Ive now been up for an hour and have done nothing with the day.  Been debating a new couch…I could use that more than a Xbox 360 but you know what…the 360 would be more fun :).

Do think Im going to get out and ride around a bit.   Go looking for area’s to move into maybe.   I have a few places Id like to move to if I buy a house, so may go look at those areas and see if I see any for sell signs.  Thats probably the extent of my day…now to shower.
