What a fabulously appropriate game for Halloween. Hauntingly moody backdrops frame a strange and perilous back-lit puzzle. It is missing a few pumpkins and there certainly isn’t any candy to be found, but it will evoke quite the appropriate mood. =)
I make it almost impossible for people to post comments! (Maybe its some deep secret need to discourage people from commenting, since having no feedback means less criticism. Plus an affirmation that no one really reads this blog anyway. I have low blog-esteem. ) =P
Each comment must jump through various hoops before it is allowed the privilege of appearing for everyone to see. But most importantly I have final approval over all. Muahahah!
Which means I get to read all the spam comments so everyone else doesn’t have to. What boggles me is that they (the spammers) somehow manage to jump through all those hoops. And its not always the same source. I’ve got spam variety – on my dinky little geek site, I have spam variety.
I would plead for mercy, but I doubt it would register with the spammers. What we need is a national (Webinal?) “do not comment” list, you know like the “do not call” list.
Stupid comment spam.
One of my goals for our move was to sift through all of our stuff, pair down or consolodate what we had. A huge part was sorting through all of our various games, a much needed process.
It turns out that our long standing addiction to MMOGs has resulted in a stack of game CDs to rival the Eiffel Tower. Okay, I exaggerate a bit, but it was quite shocking to find so many completely useless CDs. (EverQuest had by far the most!)
Just throwing them away seems extremely wasteful, but what does one do with these old CDs???
Way back in the day I wrote a review for Geometry Wars.
A little quote from the article:
we couldn’t figure out what to call those thumb stick things on the controller. My favorite was Controller Nipples. Sounds much better then thumb sticks.
Well someone made a shirt!! Controller Nipples Shirt!!
It’s always a pleasant surprise when a sequel manages to exceed its predecessor’s fun value. By retaining the chewy inner nugget of goodness and strengthening the original game’s weak points, Super Mario Galaxy 2 certainly succeeds.
From what I have read it wasn’t actually supposed to be a full-fledged sequel, but more of a continuation – a bit more fun to be had. But I guess the developers were inspired because it ended up as a bit too much more. =)
So the latest World of Warcraft patch (4.01) went live yesterday. After two hours of patch downloading and two hours of patch installing and finishing with another hour of post patch patching, I was finally able to get into the game! This is what greeted me:
So I haven’t been completely slacking on everything. My druid finally made level 80!!
This makes my third level 80 character in World of Warcraft. Can’t decide if that makes me three times as awesome or three times more pathetic. =)
What is great is that I now have a healer. Turns out its a completely different type of game. My druid off spec is still ranged dps, my comfort zone.

Reading ten a month has been a bit of a challenge, nine seems to be more my number. Ah well. Will just plod along and continue my attempt at ten each month.

Inspired by the changing hues of the Fall season, October’s is nicknamed Literary Colors Challenge.
The goal is to read 10 books whose covers match predominantly the colors listed.
One of each: Orange, Red, Brown, Green, Black, Yellow, Purple, Pink, Blue, Silver/Gray
In generally I try to avoid personal stuff on the website, but every now and then a few life bits just have to be shared. Like today; mostly because I feel bad about not having posted in a while.
I’ve been feeling pretty bunk lately, which means I have almost no motivation to write (<– not something that comes naturally to me, it requires many swift kicks in the ass to complete!) So when I’m not feeling great its even harder for me to get my act together. Thus the lack of posting. Anyway I’m dealing with that whole thing and am finally feeling better.
Plus at the beginning of the month we fell into fostering a lovely high school senior for the year. By fell I mean it was not premeditated, but this lovely young lady needed a place to call home and for some crazy reason decided that we were worthy. Its been a whirl wind and I have found myself enchanted, terrified, confused, mortified, and quite amused. She fits into our life well, like she was supposed to be here anyway. =)
The whole experience also reminds me of how happy I am not to be a teenager anymore.
