Post #100

Pity that it's taken this long. I was on a roll when I first started this blog. Look how many times I'd posted then!

Oh, well.

I've changed my blog theme. Change is good. I like to keep you all guessing. Make you wonder what sort of antics I'll be up to next time.

Got my new computer monitor on Friday. It's beautiful. I played all of my games on it and they all look fantastic. I even picked up Battlefield 2 and played it with some of my old gaming buddies back when I played Battlefield: Vietnam. Good times. I, of course, rocked the server with my awesomeness, prompting the begging of my return to their team. Okay, well, not the last part, but I did rock the server.

That's all! I'm in a particularly good mood.

As I said...

...Metal Gear Solid 4 rocks. I played 4 times in a row. It is/was definitely worth the wait of 3 years and countless release delays.

I think I'll play it again sometime soon. A game that good is hard to put down.

I bought a new computer monitor Friday afternoon. My old one doesn't work anymore. My new one is an HP w2207, 22" Hi-Def capable monitor. Very awesome stuff.

Anyway, that's all!

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots

After 3 years of anticipation and 6 months of pre-order, I picked up my copy of MGS4:GotP yesterday afternoon.

It. Is. Awesome.

No, that's not nearly a good enough word. In fact, mere words cannot express the sheer exhilaration I have gotten through playing for a couple hours last night. The graphics, the sounds, the music, the gameplay, the story, Johnny! The references to the MGS (the first of the series on the PlayStation). It's all simply awe-inspiring and worth the wait. I'm glad they continued to push back the release date. Releasing this game too early could have been devastating to the franchise. It is better to wait and work out the kinks. I'm glad they did.

I'll be pretty much useless for the next few days while I play and re-play this game 24 hours a day. I thought about calling in sick to work today, but... once again, that work ethic and morals thing get in the way. Blasted morals.

Anyway, back to work. I shall see you all in a few days. :D

Hello!

So I'm still alive! How about that? I meant to write up something a while back, but I got sidetracked. TV, internet, video games... those things will do that. It's Tuesday and I'm at work. I'm on lunch, though. I suppose I could type this during work hours, but you know, I have that thing called a work ethic (at least when I'm being paid to do it). Morals and whatnot. You understand, I hope. If you don't, you're probably a rich business man.

Work is uneventful, save for another dreadful project we've been roped into. Why us? Our supervisors seem to think that we have far more "down" time than what we really have and they like to make sure we stay busy. Trust me. We're busy enough. This just complicates things even further. We have people on one side, yelling at us, wondering where there stuff is, and people on the other side yelling and wonder why their project hasn't been completed yet. We're sorry, lieges. We will do better. (Note the bitter sarcasm.)

That is all I have time to write at the moment. Lunch is over.

Hej då.

I hate titles!

So, from May 22 to May 27, my girlfriend was down in Florida, visiting me! Woo! Great times. She always makes everything down here so much better. She makes me happy. We did lots of cool stuff. Went out to eat (Japanese, mmm), played miniature golf, played badminton, went swimming, and a random assortment of other amusing activities! It was great, great fun.
