My new solo band for Rock Band 2 is Leviathanathon. This delights me to no end.
Apparently I've been gone long enough that SG felt like giving me three free months. So I'm back. How has everyone been? I've been busy as hell with school and work but its been good.

As part of my continuing quest to increase my overall nerd knowledge and nerd appeal I've started what I feel like is a rather ambitious but rewarding project. I am reading all of the Nebula award winning novels in order. I've read a lot of Science Fiction but a significant portion of what I read is from newer authors so along the way...

If I come by, I won't be stifling a yawn, I'll be begging to borrow books.
I really liked Dune as well, but the sequels don't live up to the first book. They sort of descend into a....very confusing place...perhaps it's meant to be reflective of the role of spice in the community, but I'm not sure. I loved the first book, but couldn't even follow what was going in the sequels.
Are any of asimov's books on the list? The whole connected narrative from I, robot through the Foundation trilogy and its sequels is a masterpiece in my opinion.

I played Portal, this is my review of it.
This review will contain some spoilers.
Portal is basically perfect in every way. I loved absolutely everything about this game. The puzzles were all very innovative and they succeeded in a way that puzzles rarely do for me at least. They were challenging without being too frustrating. Every time I beat a level I felt good...

I just finished playing through American McGee's Alice as part of my continuing quest to increase my overall nerd appeal and to reduce the number of times people say What really? You never played that? Any other games that would cause you to say those very words please let me know so we can avoid future awkwardness. Overall I enjoyed the game quite a bit....

hi there
Now that I'm playing less WoW I have a ton of video gaming time that has been suddenly freed up. I'm looking to "legally acquire" a few games that I missed the first time around. I just finished up American McGee's Alice and I'll be writing up a review of sorts of it soon. Next up is Portal and after that is Demigod. I'm looking...

Super long WoW related post cross posted from my other blog.

Warning this blog entry is going to be very WoW intensive.
Note: Upon reading through a lot of this sounds really bitter and frankly thats sort of how I feel. I have put a lot of time, effort and money into this game so I'm very disappointed that my enjoyment...

well - you can fix some of that by joining a guild.
ok - guilds are an f'n pita - they're either run by hitler or by crying loons because "nobody helps" because they don't let anybody help. Anyway. But atleast you can control the moron count alittle anyway. I've been in both sorts of raiding guilds and since I'm a mostly easy to get along with person that does my job competently I do OK - I left the last one because the moron count got to to large and now I"m in one that doesn't really raid enough but whatcha gonna do.
I haven't been in Ulduar at all really - apparently I'm "under geared" on my mage - but whatever - only been in the Eye twice - it doesn't look all that hard but it does require alot of coordination - which is always the hard part when Naxx is pretty easy from a coordinatiion PoV (stay out of <whatever color> stuff on the floor and group up <here>
, and of course the coordination is mostly required by DKs since they've got the uber-grab-thingie.
I still say if you want to make money in wow you just take herbing and either mining or leather gathering and screw making stuff - nobody likes to farm and everybody's always needing pots and jewels and you get the pots and jewels from herbs and mining.
.
There's one or two flying mounts I'd like but I've already got the alliance raptor mount and there just isn't that many of them so - that's prety cool.
I'm cancelling my wow account too - it's more of a funds issue than anything else - but the next time it renews (about 4 months) i don't have enough money then I'll probably let it go.

I'm gonna try to blog. I've never been any good at it (mostly because I find my own life intolerably dull for the most part) but I'm gonna try to write up some of the stories and viewpoints I hear myself telling others the most often (or keeping to myself). I try very hard not to talk about politics until I know people well because...

Other than that I'm busy as hell working two jobs to make ends meet. Time to poke around and see whats new around here.
