Short entry tonight…
Thursday the guys and I went to Quarks, got our party on. Had a Warp Core, was tasty. The waitress was rubbish, hopefully I won’t have her the next time I go. Ended up spending money I probably shouldn’t have on a toy of the Enterprise (1701- no bloody A, B, C or D) but I’m happy with my purchase so it’s not a big deal.

Have been kicking around the idea of a Mini for the living room. It’d be nice to have a media center hooked up to the TV, to do double duty as a media server and a torrent work-horse. We’ll see, might end up getting it next week end. Trying to hold off on any Apple purchases until after the 9th though, as I’m expecting some cool shit from Jobs at the WWDC.

Another thing I’ve been thinking about buying, and probably will do, is a guitar. I’ve often wanted to learn to play and I figure now is as good a time as any to actually start trying. I know I want an electric, not some bloody acoustic. I want to learn to play good riffs, the kind of shit that Queen did, the kind of stuff that made Hendrix a god, the only kind of guitar hard enough to make Dios songs of rainbows and magic and shit sound hardcore… That’s what I want to play.

I wanna wail, ya know? Not rock but WAIL.

So, erm, yeah.

Nerd side, added the twitter feed back. Will get around to tweaking the font size shortly – I know it’s rather small, but until I can figure out just how many “tweets’ it’ll show I’ve gotta keep them small for space reasons. I’ll get it all sorted out shortly.

It’s been a while since I’ve linked to LRR – today I fix that.
Their video for this week? EPIC. AWESOMELY EPIC!

Seriously: Go watch it right the hell now. RIGHT NOW! WATCH IT!

Then, I donno… Buy a shirt from them.
Me? I just bought two.

EDIT:
You know what?
HERE!

Was going to write a rather wordy post on some nerdy subject, but as the day has gone by here at The Office, things just didn’t align that way. (more…)

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the

State of the Game Address

Please be seated.

As many (can all four readers be called a “many”?) of you know, I’m an avid gamer. Or, rather, I like to think of myself as an avid gamer, but in reality I’m more of an avid gadget whore who focused his skill points on games.

Either way you split it, I enjoy video games and talking about them, and as such I think it’s time to once again update on what I think of the current System Wars situation. (more…)
