Portal: The Flash Version Map Pack

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

I’ve downloaded the Portal Flash Version Map Pack this morning and I’m stoked to try it out. It apparently contains all 40 levels from Portal: The Flash Version, which was bad ass in its own right.

I’m not quite expecting the superb, iterated-to-hell, damn-near-perfect levels of the original, but I’ll write up what I think [...]

Mo’ Preacher fo’ me (or is it “Preachah”?)

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Just got vols. 6, 7, and 8 of Preacher in the mail. Eff Tee Double-U.

As I’ve been getting into these graphic novel series, the cost of buying each trade is kind of ridiculous. A 10-part series would cost at least $120, and that’s if you get a good deal. I suppose I [...]

Assassin’s Half-assery

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

So lately I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed, well, trying to play Assassin’s Creed. No matter what I do, I simply can’t get into this game. Ostensibly, it’s an action-ey, platform-ey, exploration-based stealth game. All pluses for the way I game and what I’m looking for in a title. But ultimately, it’s [...]

Wall•E

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Colette and I went down to Baywalk to watch Wall•E last night. It’s become sort of a tradition that we do date nights to go watch Pixar movies. We did that with Cars, Ratatouille, and now this one. We both thoroughly enjoyed it, even though we almost missed the short at the [...]

The sweep is complete

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

The Rays swept the BoSox last night here at the Trop, though Kazmir wasn’t responsible for pullin’ it down (as Zac had suspected) near as much as Evan Longoria with his rally-starting 2 RBI double in the seventh. What a blast of a game, even with an insane running time of 4 hours. [...]

Weekend cookout

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

We cooked out on our new grill again this past weekend while watching Spain take out Germany in the Euro 2008 tournament. Here’s the rundown of what we threw on there:

Barbecue-basted chicken drumsticks (one dozen) Marinated pork chops (8 or 9 of them) Bell [...]

Rock Band notes, #2

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Rock Band is owning me.

I haven’t even touched another game since I got it a couple weeks ago, and I’m completely okay with that.

So far in the Band World Tour mode, Colette and I have been playing in our band called Pommes Frites; her on guitar, me on drums, both of us decked out in [...]

Tampa Bay is going for a sweep

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

We’re about to see a good showdown game: Tampa Bay going for a sweep, BoSox trying to fend one off. It’s shaping up to be quite a showdown. I’m thinking something along the lines of a Florida-Tennessee SEC championship game, or a Michigan-Ohio State match. Blood might be spilled and people might [...]
