Falling back into work mode

Posted by FredFredrickson on Jan. 16, 2007, 12:13 a.m.

After the blur of the holidays, I’m left with a pile of video games to play, and a pile of work that I really want to get done… And oh, how the two conflict with each other! I’ve still got paintings to paint, games to make, and a bunch of …

Reflecting on 2006

Posted by FredFredrickson on Dec. 31, 2006, 9:08 p.m.

With 2006 only a few hours away from being complete history, I look back on what was truly a remarkable year. Games, websites, work, and horrible puns (see the title?). Sure, there are a few events of 2006 that I do not look back fondly upon (personal stuff), but I …

Kudos to Apple

Posted by FredFredrickson on Dec. 17, 2006, 4:12 p.m.

Let me get this out right from the start – I don’t really care for Apple Computer Company. I don’t like their marketing campaigns, I think their computers are gimmicky, and their form-over-function design principle is terrible. Yes, I have an iPod, but were it not the best deal out …

Why I don't like fan-created mods

Posted by FredFredrickson on Dec. 12, 2006, 12:10 p.m.

This morning I just didn't feel like turning on the TV to watch the usual droll of morning news people acting bright and cheery, so instead, I pulled up an old copy of PC Gamer to read while I munched on my Capn'n Crunch. After flipping through the rag a …

HT3D2? Shopping? Egads!

Posted by FredFredrickson on Dec. 11, 2006, 4:45 p.m.

Well, I am happy to report that I am done with my Christmas shopping. Well, almost done, anyway. I've still got one last thing to get for my girlfriend before I am finished… and possibly a gift for her family… but other than that, I am done, and it feels …

Aces High - Another Demo Soon

Posted by FredFredrickson on Dec. 1, 2006, 11:11 a.m.

Man do I love Fridays. Saturdays are fun, and Thursdays are kinda sweet, but Friday… there is no other day of the week that offers as much promise and excitement. Friday tells you not to look back at the work you did that week, and promises that you've got two …

Where the Hedgehogs Go

Posted by FredFredrickson on Nov. 26, 2006, 10:48 p.m.

Oh, Sonic Team, what have you done? There used to be a time when I looked forward to seeing a certain little blue hedgehog racing across my TV screen. My ears were fond of that little “blingâ€? noise for every ring picked up. And my hands twitched at the thought …

Fred joins the COG

Posted by FredFredrickson on Nov. 21, 2006, 1:51 p.m.

Yeah, it's been a while since my last blog… I've been pretty busy with a lot of different things, and I haven't been at my apartment as much during the last couple of weekends! I am back now though, with no more huge trips are on the horizon, so I'll …

Torn between Wii and 360

Posted by FredFredrickson on Nov. 7, 2006, 10:23 p.m.

Being into games as much as we all are, I think most of you will understand what a sad, sad situation it is when one is torn between two games that look completely and utterly awesome. Especially when the purchase of aforementioned games means that one will have to choose …
