This Year Is Going Great

Not amazing, but surprisingly well. Things are collapsing all around me, sure, but I was at the doctor's office, and he said I wasn't dying. Yippee!

Also, I wrote 2008 for all the dates on the forms. I usually make it to April without getting the year right. So... bonus.

Joe Donatelli is a friend of mine, and a super funny guy. He made a chain letter personality friends list, and posted it to his website joedonatelli.com. Fill it out and send it my way. I will not make fun of you. Hmm, maybe I should post mine. That'd be good for a blog entry, I guess...

Metroid Prime 3 = Rockin'

I have a review for Metroid Prime 2 in my "incomplete posts" file here. I felt so bad about all the awful things I wanted to say about it. Metroid Prime was soo good. Sooo, even, maybe.

But MP2 was a pile of crap, breaking all the good things in its predecessor with poor poor design choices. Anyway, those days are gone now, because Metroid Prime 3 has come out, and everything is better.

It is great in all the ways that the first was great, it is great in all the ways that the second was bad, heck, it's great in all the ways Halo 3 was bad. It even made me feel better about my Wii purchase, which had not been touched since my grandmother beat me at Wii bowling. Luckily, this one makes her a little motion-sick. Thanks MP3!

Best of all, MP3 starts neat and gets neater all the way through. So, it gets a 5.5 out of 5 on the official Neat-o-Meter. (The extra one is for pretty much picking up where the first game left off. It's as if #2 never even happened! Sorta like Lord of the Rings! Whee!!!)

Buy this book

I was gifted this book by my lovely girlfriend, and after less than 6 pages I was hooked.

St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised By Wolves

You will not regret it. It may be more sad than good, but it is very very good. Karen Russell gets 5.5 out of 5 high-fives. (She gets an extra one for being the same age as me.)

Happy New Year 2K8

So, umm, yes. New year. I may have put off blogging for... 4 months. That may have happened. And all of that despite some cool things happening. Most of which I don't intend to talk about.

What I will say is that I did national novel writing month. That was completely awesome, and I finished book 2 of the eventual 4 or 5 book series. Luckily, book 2 is about 80,000 times better than book 1 was, which makes the next few books much more likely. So woohoo!

New Year's Resolutions:
Blog more.
Write more.
Edit more.
Finish the flash game.
Make 2 million dollars somehow. Possibly through hugs.

New Tongue Twister

Traffic Attractant.

Try it, I dare you.

Holy crap, it's the 3rd of august!

It's been a whole month, I know. Sorry about that. Things have been pretty busy, as I've been looking for new jobs lately. Largely game related and production related. Hopefully it'll work out, and I'll be doing something new in a couple of weeks.

Wish me luck,

Happy 3rd of July!

I've christened today "Last Day of British Stewardship Day".

Stewardship might not be the right word, though, so feel free to replace it with overlordship, controllership, or any other ship-related word.

Also, enjoy it. It's the last day before we have to fend for ourselves for the whole rest of the year.
