I’m up and considering playing games all the way up to 4PM.
finished the bachelor party, just finished Lost (awesome), now for some mid-sunrise sleep time.
at smokey row, spending time with friends, probably going to get ready for Andrew’s bachelor party.
Not going to be around a whole lot
Alright, I thought that tonight would be a great night to write a column or do something interesting with either the new games I got for Dreamcast (Grandia 2, Soul Calibur) or write about how Metal Gear Solid still holds up after it’s release on the PlayStation.
But I don’t have time for that right now.
I want to play a few more hours before the weekend starts. Tomorrow night is...
Preparing for the night ahead, I am still surpised that people want to visit me.
Sorry, I have been off the grid for the entire day. It looks like it is going to happen tomorrow also. So, be prepared.
Sorry about yesterday
I didn’t have time to write anything. I went right after work to see Indiana Jones and then I was with family.
I promise I will put the WiiFit video up tomorrow.
Human Joystick, Day 1
Here is the first entry of all my Wii Fit information, not only did my little avatar balloon up like he just went to the Sizzler after a few weeks at Camp Hope, but I found out that I was in good shape. And it has been saying that I am incredibly strong. Wow, how did it know that I can squeeze Dan till his lungs collapse? The Wii is really smart.
Today’s total time: 1 hour, 11 minutes

I turned into that guy
I was thinking about LostWinds, and I went into a frenzy about how great the game is. So I decided to become a troll and praise the Frontier guys that made LostWinds. Here is the damage: http://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?p=6231#post6231
Honestly, I kind of want to move my forums over there and just take them over. I think it would be awesome to claim it for myself. Anyway, go make a...
Writing a blog entry, then more GTA4 grinding. It is a sad time.
Wii need Fit
Today, I had a little downtime so I did a little reading online at work. But what I was looking for was some different takes on Wii Fit. There was a few blogs about it being a “rehashed” DDR or another gimmick that Nintendo shits out. It does sound like a very expensive piece of plastic, pricing at $90. But I was crazy enough to buy a Wii wheel at $15.
So I stumbled on Leigh...
I just wrote a little on Mario Kart Wii, going to finish a few things on GTA4, just watched some news on Wii Fit, I’m excited.
Why GTA4 just got blue shelled
Alright, we all know that it has been three weeks since GTA4 dropped. After beating the game on the second weekend I had it, I was ready to never shoot hookers and get drunk with Irish friends. In comes Mario Kart Wii. There really shouldn’t be a review for the game, take it for face value. You are getting exactly what you are paying for.
But there is something that they forgot to...
Okami, Okami, Okami… and food.
Why Penny Arcade on XBLA is going to be awesome
First off, I am going to say that this will be the “GTA4” of the XLBA space. When you are addressing the Penny Arcade audience, even people that hate it, still read the comics. Let’s just say, all of their eyes will be on this title and ready to judge their efforts with pinpoint accuracy. As much as I enjoy reading it, the same amount of people love to hate the comic NEED to...
Just showered from playing 9 holes of disc golf, now for more Okami.
WatchI frickin’ woke up to a trailer for The Conduit, which is slated to be a Wii exclusive, and it is looking pretty hot. Framerates look great and the lighting took a huge bump. I am really looking forward to this title, I hope that High Voltage can snag all the 3rd party sales that they can, but if Okami can’t do it… who knows?
Also, there was some news at IGN (I just noticed...
More games, Lost Winds is on the docket.
Going to start keeping the blog current
Which is a huge undertaking for me. I rarely keep content rolling but I have a lot of motivation behind this idea of mine, so I hope I can put as much information up as I can. So far, I just built some concepts in Dreamweaver and made a couple layouts of what I am looking for. This summer is going to be one where Chris helps me code everything.
The outcome of the project will yield really...
