A Small Vacation?

Posted by FredFredrickson on Oct. 29, 2006, 12:57 p.m.

I was originally going to write about all the crazy shenanigans I get away with at work, but I decided against it - most of you are probably working your way through your first or second real jobs, and for me to talk about the TV watching, dart board, music, …

Posted by FredFredrickson on Oct. 12, 2006, 4:27 p.m.

With Wii pre-orders on the horizon (Friday, at Gamestop and EB Games), and rising discontent with my computer's video card, I find myself in a dilemma. Should I pre-order the Wii, by dropping $100 down on it tomorrow, or should I save up for the more expensive CPU upgrade?

I haven't psoted a blog here in a while, and with good reason. Well, the same reason why my blogs are always sparse - I've been busy. One thing that I have managed to squeeze into my hurried schedule is (yet) another game, one which is coming along pretty nicely. …
