Old games are cool

8/13/2005

I was cleaning out a few boxes full of computer crap and I discovered my old Diablo II CD’s with the Expansion Set. For the past two days I’ve been playing it. You totally lose track of time playing D2, let me tell ya.

D2 is great. It runs perfectly on my laptop, the graphics still really hold up well and it’s just a great game. Blizzard nailed this game right on the money as far as entertainment value goes. My only extremely tiny complaint is that I wish it did a resolution higher than 800×600. If the game ran at 1024×768 resolution it’d be perfect - but that’s okay. I can live with the 800 res.

I was really happy to find these discs. Thankfully I kept all the CD’s in the box which had the sleeves with the original reg codes on them. The discs are still in really good shape, too!

Right now I’m on Act III using a Necromancer character. :D

LOL WHITE AMERICAN

This is the label on a 1/2 lb. package of cheese from the supermarket. I think it’s amusing because it screams “double entendre”.

On the offensive

8/16/2005

Pop and I were going to go look at three houses up North, but today the real estate sales agent called us and said two of the three houses were sold already.

That pissed me off because it all happened in less than two weeks.

I went on the internet and picked out five houses.

I called the realtor office who was selling them. I was forceful in the way I spoke, purposely railroading my words. I told her that we’ve been calling real estate sales agents who have promised us we could look at houses only to have them sold out from under our feet before we even got a chance to look at them. I told her about the five houses and that I wanted to set up a showing.

I got a lot of um, ah, er verbal stumbling from her.

Yeah, I’m from Connecticut, and I want everything done yesterday. Get used to it.

Finally she said “Well, I’ll have to call several agents, you’ve picked a wide spectrum of homes.” That’s right, I did, and I want to see them. I’m sick of getting the runaround.

She took my number and said I will receive a call either tonight or early tomorrow.

If I don’t get a call by noon tomorrow I’m calling and hollering - bank on it.

Chickened out

8/16/2005

People who know me know I despise useless Flash intros, a.k.a. “Flashturbation” as it’s said on Web Pages That Suck from time to time. I wanted to play a joke on that and made a Flash intro of my own, but just as I was about to put it on the site, I said “Nah…”

Still came out pretty cool even though I’m not going to use it. Take a look.

I should really stop reading other people’s blogs

8/17/2005

I saw this on another blog and it looked interesting. I decided to take the quiz just to shut Kat up about meme’s. Since I’ve officially posted one on my site, now she can shut up about it (said with love). ;-)

By the way, the green target looking thing on the graph is where I rank.

 

Much More Scientific

You have:
77% SCIENTIFIC INTUITION and
55% EMOTIONAL INTUITION
The graph on the right represents your place in Intuition 2-Space. As you can see, you scored about average on emotional intuition and well above average on scientific intuition.Keep
in mind that very few people score high on both! In effect, you can
compare your two intuition scores with each other to learn what kind of
intuition you’re best at. Your scientific intuition is stronger than
your emotional intuition.
Your Emotional Intuition
score is a measure of how well you understand people, especially their
unspoken needs and sympathies. A high score score usually indicates
social grace and persuasiveness. A low score usually means you’re good
at Quake.

Your Scientific Intuition
score tells you how in tune you are with the world around you; how well
you understand your physical and intellectual environment. People with
high scores here are apt to succeed in business and, of course, the
sciences.


My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 99% on Scientific
free online dating free online dating
You scored higher than 99% on Interpersonal

Have SQ-1+ 32 Voice, will travel…

8/18/2005

I’m listening to Club977 right now. 80’s tunes 24 hours a day. Gotta love that. I normally listen to it most when treadmill’ing. Call it cheesy, call it what you will, 80’s music is cool. I wish some synth pop would come back in style. Those who know the musician side of me know I’m a HUGE synth freak. This is part of the reason I love video game music a lot, too. Synths rule, ’nuff said.

It’s ironic most know me as a guitar player, because I’ve been playing synths twice as long.

Presto Change-o!

8/18/2005

After working for a few hours (off and on) I got this new template done. Man, it was tough getting IE to play nice with this new CSS structure, but, I did get it to work. Yay. :-)

Content is the same and nothing has moved anywhere, not to worry.

Dripping Yellow Madness

8/18/2005

The latest H*R cartoon Cool Things was cool (heh). There’s this part where Homestar mentions “Dripping Yellow Madness”, a guy that left town after the 5th grade. Afterwards, Homestar falls into the Death Hole. Later on you hear the only rock song in history to have the lyric “A bag of four grapes.”

Best H*R cartoon I’ve seen in a while. Watch it.

(Small note: If they happen to make a “Cool Tapes” t-shirt in black, I would definitely buy it.)
