Mini-review: Sega Superstars Tennis

30-Apr-08

Based on the Virtua Tennis 3 engine, SST takes a number of the more popular characters from the Sega Universe. Sonic, Monkey Ball, Space Channel 5, Jet Grind Radio are represented well. Alex Kidd, is there, but sadly no Streets of Rage, House of the Dead nor Shinobi characters (though there’s a HotD map). There [...]

On Sports, On Politics, On Computing, On Cars

The new naming convention means you can skip entries if you find them boring. At the same time, if you try searching for a specific topic it’ll probably be extraordinarily irritating. The Sixers and Flyers are in the post season. I’m cautiously happy; the Flyers beat Ovechkin and the Capitals in seven games; I don’t [...]

On Gaming (pt2), On Politics, On History

22-Apr-08

Goozex has worked out quite nicely for me. I traded away Metroid Prime for the GC and Street Fighter Alpha 3 for the GBA, and in turn I have received Far Cry Instincts for the Xbox and Auto Modellista for the PS2. I should be receiving Kung Fu Chaos and Halo 2 shortly (both Xbox), [...]

On Gaming, On Politics

17-Apr-08

I have to admit, the last few days have been pretty exciting with respect to gaming, so I just want to take a moment to discuss it. For the last few months I’ve been pretty down on the Wii. It seemed that most game publishers were content to make shovelware in the vein of “swing [...]

Weird to think I started this thing five years ago, and consisted mostly of late night ranting. And here we come full circle. — I don’t think I’ve had as dissatisfying a gaming session as I did last night with my gamecube games. There was a reason why I avoided the system like the plague [...]

I need a new cell phone. My sucktastic Motorola Krzr is now doing all sorts of stupid things. Before, it would say it’s fully charged when it wasn’t. Then the battery wouldn’t hold a charge for more than day. Now the phone is turning itself off even if the battery if fully charged (I can [...]

Hey, I’ll admit it – I was wrong. The Flyers are going to the playoffs, as are the Sixers. Things have changed pretty drastically since Sept. 2007 – I’m just hoping this isn’t just a one-and-done situation.

Year of the Rooster

07-Apr-08

I am the year of the rooster. (I learned this when we went for chinese last night) More specifically, I am the ‘metal rooster‘. Lisa and I have had some length discussions on this, and I think it’s important to explain why I’m ‘such a pain/butthead/jerk/so annoying’ about my birthday. Mom: “What are you doing [...]

Friday Opera Christmas etc. etc. etc.

04-Apr-08

It’s Friday. (applause) So if you took a gander at Lisa’s entry, the impetus wasn’t me being a jerk – the same can be said for the email I sent. No, I was just being self congratulatory having gotten her email request at 4.45pm (and I was arguing with a insurance rep), so I felt [...]
