Total Annihilation

I tried to think up a good title for this, but “Total Annihilation” is just so freakin’ cool anyway. :D It arrived today, my TA Gold boxed kit. Better late than never, right? :) There’s a few glitches running it in Classic, but luckily none that interfere with the gameplay once you get into it.… Read more

Halo 3

So today was all about Halo 3. I went and grabbed breakfast/lunch with Ross (Chipolte’s on De Anza), and he finally decided then that he was going to get the 360 and Halo 3. I offered to buy the game itself and a second controller, to sweeten the deal. It’s funny that we went to… Read more

Potatoes don’t last

The doctor is just being calibrated, be with you shortly

The Chaser’s War on International Repute

I’ve been watching with much interest the drabs of news that come my way on the recent Chaser antics around the APEC (APIC? ASIC? meh, whatever) thing in Sydney. It’s hard to say if their antics were actually successfully funny until I see the video, but the sadly predictable responses from a few of the… Read more
