Time to Purge (“The List”)

March 4th, 2008 · 5 Comments · Gaming

In light of all I’ve gone through and with giving up (actually, changing perspective) on “The List,” it’s now time for me to get rid of all the games I no longer want or need. What does that mean for you, oh, inquisitive reader? Simply put, you get first dibs.
Here’s how it works. I’m going [...]

What I’m playing

July 21st, 2006 · 13 Comments · Gaming, Sports

I haven’t done this for a while, so I thought it’d be fun to do a “what I’m playing” post. After I stopped playing EVE I had a lull in gaming overall but recently I’ve been getting back into it. I’ve been busy with other endeavors but when I do have a chance, here’s what [...]

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 [...]

Some thoughts…

March 21st, 2006 · 3 Comments · Gaming

I know blogging has been light lately, but RL keeps getting in the way. I’d like to say gaming has kept me away but sadly that isn’t the case. Gaming has been limited to EVE lately, with an occasional Animal Crossing break.
Even with the lack of blogging, I wanted to post a few thoughts I’ve [...]

Halolympics

February 24th, 2006 · No Comments · Gaming

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)

Xbox Live

August 8th, 2005 · No Comments · Gaming

n0wak has noticed an interesting trend on Xbox Live.
Except for an occasional Halo 2 game, I haven’t been on Live for months. I’ve heard that NCAA 2006 is fun online but I have yet to give it a try.

Sports Gamer on NCAA 2006

July 5th, 2005 · No Comments · Gaming, Sports

The Blog for the Sports Gamer is quickly becoming one of my favorite blog stops. Moreso right now because one of the contributors, bill, is filling us in on his experiences with NCAA 2006. I’ve cooled on the NCAA series due to 2005’s lacklusterness (is that a word?). Bill (who is a Buckeye like me) [...]

Bungie.net : Top Story

April 17th, 2005 · 2 Comments · Gaming

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 [...]

The Games we Play

April 3rd, 2005 · 2 Comments · Gaming

I have pulled myself away from Halo 2 this weekend long enough to give some new games a try. I’ve got games I picked up on sale at Toys R Us in a pile, which are being neglected, I traded some of my games with a friend and got a handful of games from him, [...]

Halo 2 Expands

March 26th, 2005 · 1 Comment · Gaming

I posted this submitted this earlier today to Evil Avatar but I haven’t posted here since I’ve been watching March Madness all evening. So I’ll just quote myself from EA’s site:
Bungie.net’s weekly update gives us the lowdown on the upcoming “expansion” pack. From the update:

We’re releasing a total of nine new multiplayer maps.
All nine maps [...]
