Bonnaroo Destroyed by the Sword

Sun, 22 Jun 2008 09:44:03 -0700

So I'm back from Bonnaroo, and it was magnificent the entire time.

I fully expected to have a huge write-up covering the entire festival, or better, from when I left my house to when I got back, since I was gone for eight days total. But I really don't feel like it, so I won't.

But I will say that the Sword was far and away the best ...

Bonnaroo Bound

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:22:42 -0700

I'm at Bonnaroo, hopefully, and probably, having the best time of my life. I'll be back the evening of the 18th. Expect a post following shortly after.

Gnomes and Their Wicked Magicks

Tue, 03 Jun 2008 19:00:31 -0700

Since it's summer I've been playing a lot more Xbox than usual. I rented the Orange Box, as I've said before, so I've been plowing through the Half-Life 2 episodes so I can stop paying 99 cents a day for it (Blockbuster). Episode One was the most boring shooter I've ever played, and Portal was lame until the end ...

M. Night Shyamalan is Badass Now

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 23:18:06 -0700

M. Night Shyamalan knows that he sucks. He has always sucked (I can say always because I'm positive that he stole the script for the Sixth Sense from someone and then killed them in a shocking twist that nobody saw coming). He knows that he sucks because when I was counting change and watching TV (I'm bringing a giant thing of change to the bank) a com ...

Gordon Freeman Wishes he was Turok

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:22:21 -0700

I rented The Orange Box today, since I absolutely loved Half-Life 2 and have heard nothing but praise for Portal. I am not enjoying it at all.

I started with Portal, since it's the main reason I rented the game to begin with, and it's not really doing anything for me. I usually like puzzle games, but ...

Jack is Out of Breath

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 22:06:22 -0700

So I finally watched the season finale of Lost tonight. Overall it was pretty good. I made a prediction a looong time ago that actually came true. First time for everything, I guess. I'm sure there will be some spoilers in here, so if you're not caught up through the end of Season 4, stop reading.

I've been underwhelmed with Lost ...

Ikaruga or: The Hardest Goddamn Game Ever Made

Mon, 26 May 2008 20:55:53 -0700

I beat GTA IV and it was good. It was good for 30+ hours, which is a real accomplishment. With only two little hiccups in the story, I dug it the whole time. The end was very good, and the ending cutscene was better. It's a shame it can't sink in.
It can't sink in because I bought Ikaruga on the Xbox Live Marketplace ...

A Bum, GTA, and a Hobbit

Mon, 19 May 2008 17:02:34 -0700

My time spent playing Grand Theft Auto IV has been steadly rising since I've been home, and on one level, I feel like a complete bum, but on another level, there's not a whole lot else for me to do.
I haven't started work yet, although they did call me this morning at 9 to see if I wanted to come in, but I was asleep and didn't get ...

Summer Starts and the Whole World is Stealing Cars

Sat, 17 May 2008 00:06:22 -0700

So classes are over until mid-August and I, like most of the world, am spending most of my time playing Grand Theft Auto IV. I will reserve final judgment until I finish the single player game, but so far it's pretty spectacular. I was never huge into the other GTA games, but this one has a good story, and that makes all the difference in the worl ...

Of Hobbits, Spenser, and Quarters

Mon, 12 May 2008 21:47:38 -0700

I need to pack, and I need to learn the entire Spanish language by Wednesday evening, but I'm here instead.
I'm doing a load of laundry that consists of three pairs of underwear and two t-shirts because I'm going home for the summer in three days and I wan ...
