I finally got up the courage to volunteer for the Dallas 48Hr Film Project. Everyone tells me I’m so dramatic so I figure I’d prove them right or wrong! Its something I’ve always wanted to try and do so its about time I put my name in the hat. Not a lot of experience doing this kind of thing but I’m passionate about entertainment and have really been inspired by some of the short game flicks that have come out like the Half-Life 2 shorts and such.

On other news I’ve been working on about 3 articles but am waiting on a potential freelance deal to pan out to publish, lol. I’ve got two interviews that I am trying to put together on top of it as well so I’ve not been slacking (too much). You find out how tough it is to try and finish a game a week when one of those games in Fallout 3, and another is Infinite Undiscovery. Talk about a weighty combo.

Quake Live! review is coming within the next day or so. I’ve sat on it too long now and want to start getting the QuakeCon hype going again. Let me know if you’re going to be there! Also, I’m toying with the idea of going to ScrewAttack’s Gaming Convention. Its the same weekend I was supposed to go visit my grandparents but with some of the guests they’re having that I can’t talk about, its going to be epic.

Check back soon for the reviews to start up again.

Five years of programming, four seasons of shows that never stepped back from the edge, and a finale that does the series justice not only logically, but theologically and morally as well?

Absolutely amazing. Something words cannot capture and time will only make memory grow fonder happened tonight. I feel sorry for those who do not understand or appreciate the significance of the show and/or its passing.

Tonight, a giant fell among us.

Time for a second (of many) viewing!

Packing my bags and cameras for All-Con. I’ll be volunteering most of the weekend, working the Celeb table. I’ll be with Ken Lally (Resident Evil, Heroes) and my beautiful wife will be with (the also beautiful) Candace Kita (Two and a Half Men, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry). Hottie table indeed, lol.

Saturday we’ll be doing lunch around 11:30am-1pm at Spring Creek barbeque. Any and all are welcome to join us. We go dutch, so bring money for your own food but we’ll provide the great conversation. Isn’t that just awesome?

Looking forward to an awesome weekend. Let me know you read the blog if you come by!

World of Goo shows us that you don’t need an overly complicated story or special powers or any other staple of current-gen gaming to have an extremely enjoyable experience. 2D Boy has taken a visually pleasing, simple 2-d look and technically simple game play and created a game that should be held up as an example to all of the struggling game developers out there. What is the message?

A game doesn’t have to break the bank or be a sequel to be fun.

Just FYI, folks – those going to one of the most badass game conventions of the year in the Dallas area opens registration tonight. If you want to get in on the Bring Your Own Computer (BYOC) farm, you gotta get in early, otherwise you’ll be on the dreaded waiting list. I’ll be attending – you can find me under the user name LRavenwolf. Get your hotels NOW – I’m booking mine tonight when I get home. Not at the Annatole, but down the street at the (I think) Comfort Inn - $60 per night will go quick. See you online folks!

Interestingly enough, I dumped some cash into points the past weekend to purchase Street Fighter II: HD Remix at the recommendation of three different friends who wanted to pwn me old-school. So, being an avid SF:II player back in the day I acquiesced. Ten minutes later I was jumping in to something that made me question my experience from over ten years ago.

Okay so I’m a big nerd and spend waaaay too much time doing big nerd things sometimes. One of my very favorite websites for cool stuff is ThinkGeek I bought things from them in the past, but lately I’ve been addicted to the site. I actually bought my wife’s birthday/valentine’s day presents from there as well as some cool desk stuff to make my day not nearly as boring as it normally is. Here’s what I bought:

As you can now see, I have added an Amazon widget to the right sidebar.  I will be adding content to it as I go along and plugging items that I feel will help you on your way to internet greatness or that are just really dang interesting. Please, if you purchase something from Amazon through my affiliate program, you help keep this site running and alive!

Show the love – you know you want to.

Just a heads up, sometime Saturday night or Sunday the site will be down while I perform some maintenance on the site and my other domains. Essentially I’m having trouble getting good stats with my programs because of the way I have it set up. The suggestions I’m getting say that I need to make these changes since this site is now my hub for all others.

Thanks for your patience and I apologize for having to take the site down at all. I will have backups just in case I really screw things up and need to do so.
