Acid for Blood

My, my, it’s been a while. Let’s do a brief gaming update.

Have not been playing Guild Wars like I said I would. Am planning on playing for at least a few hours this coming weekend.
Have, however, been playing Mario Kart DS and Guitar Hero III.
Sadly, have not gotten a Rock Band fix since last year.
Got […]

There’s a little rhythm game called Rock Band which has been making the rounds. Whilst I own neither the Xbox 360 nor a PS3, I am lucky enough to have friends/colleagues who do, so I’ve been able to play. Every Monday night several of us tromp over to Xaroth’s and JavaLuv’s place for band practice, […]

Whew. I am back. I have been away doing beach stuff for several days. Also, I’ve been on a break from Messenger, which is why people haven’t seen me online. I’m alive, I assure you. Glancing at my Bloglines is a bit scary. I am afraid that most of those will go unread or […]

Whoever invented this meme, this cultural nugget of information and behaviour patterns, was a genius (probably British as well). The coin holds your place in the queue. […]

I forgot to blog about this yesterday in my excitement and pre-occupation with becoming a writer for Culture.Playgressive.
DDR was on the TV news again this week. A few months ago, it was on the Today show, and the other day it made my local Fox morning news show. Apparently it was a slow news day. […]
