Bowlcut’s little piece of the world

Why do I have to set rules like “no more xbox till you clean the apartment”?  I am going to be 30 years old this year, you would think I could do what I want when I want it in my own dang apartment.   But noooo, I do that and this place becomes a pig sty.  Man it was nasty in here and is still halfway that way.  I really do wish I could just throw everything away and start again.  Like my old beat up couches and rug.  Just throw it away and get a new couch.  I also am a pack rat and refuse to throw anything away it seems.  I have old computers just laying around…anyone want some old computers?  Need a router or something out of a linux machine…we can do it.  Meh…ok back to doing something.

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.
