Well, as is often the case, even though I had lots of free time, I didn’t get to do everything I had hoped to do during my “free time.” There never seems to be enough hours in the day.
One thing I did accomplish was playing a lot of golf. I got in 45 holes in [...]

Back from the dead
May 16th, 2006 · 1 Comment · Gaming
I have returned from my long weekend of family visits and no internet. As I’m sure you’ve heard before, disconnecting for a while feels great. I didn’t completely disconnect, though. I took my Xbox to the in-laws since the brother-in-law loves NCAA Football and his wife loves Burnout 3. He also had never experienced the [...]

On the TV: Halo 2, playing some Action Sack on Live.
On the laptop: EVE-Online, making mining runs in between rounds of Halo 2.
On the brain: Blogging about how much of a geek I am.

Flickr is fun, because you find things like this that make you laugh.
Some of the people I play Halo 2 would definitely medal in “CryBabying”. (Zing!)
(Update: After reading AFKGamer’s Flickr post, I decided to setup a Buttonmashing Flickr account so I don’t have to clutter my personal Flickr account with my gaming detritus)
Huh?

Can someone tell me what a seven-year old is doing playing Halo 2? And while you’re at it, can you tell me why he’s probably a trillion times better at it than me? Lil Poison, indeed.

Halo 2, New and Improved
May 4th, 2005 · No Comments · Gaming
By now, just about everybody knows that Halo 2 has been updated with new maps, playlists, and cheat fixes. I haven’t tried them out yet (but will after the greatest TV show ever is over). I did talk to a clanmate this afternoon about it and he gave it the thumbs up. But he likes [...]
It could be nice to be aLIVE
April 28th, 2005 · No Comments · Gaming
Just a couple thoughts about playing games on Live.
First, there was the recent update/tweak to Halo 2’s gameplay. In a previous life, I was a Halo boxer. It was how I played – I’d rush with the Assault Rifle business end to take down the shields and then I’d use the other business end for [...]
Master Chief <3’s Jesus

So I read about kids testifying of their Lord and Savior during Live Halo 2 games last month over at Popular Culture Gaming but really didn’t pay much attention to it. Until, that is, this evening. I played a head to head with a nice enough guy (a rarity on Live), he beat me [...]

… and not a drop to drink.
I am a confessed stat junkie. I noticed a few weeks ago that bapenguin (an editor at Evil Avatar) was linking to something called a “TPS report”. I followed the link and wanted my own Halo 2 TPS report, immediately. So I downloaded Query Spree, downloaded all my games [...]

Bungie has dropped their latest update regarding Halo 2 and Xbox Live and it is a doosie. If you haven’t read it already, you can read it here: Bungie.net : Top Story
I’ve got mixed feelings about this “patch” business. Up until now, console games have been “what you see is what you get,” and if [...]
