New Games
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Warning this game is very addictive. Think single player warcraft, but with better quests. I've been playing for 30 hours and I have barily touched the main storyline. I have been spending my time with side quests that I found interesting.
Kingdom Hearts II Much better than the first game. I think the ability and players system is a little too complicated. But how fun is it to run around in Disney movies. I can't wait for the Tron section.
Katamari Damacy A very strange and addictive game. I can't do it justice. You just have to try it.
Welcome to the Metaverse
That little green guy is me in the online world of Second Life. I'm hoping to open a store in SL soon. More to come.
Just one more quest before I return to the real world
Our current gaming addiction is none other than World of Warcraft. Arguably the best MMORPG yet. L and I have been playing almost every night and our gnomes are developing at a rapid pace. If your into this kind of game you should give it try.
I have played through Halflife 2, and all I can say is Amazing, simply Amazing.

Shall we play a game?
I have been playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas just about every night this last week. It's amazing how much you can do in this game. Best in the GTA series yet.
It's official, World Of Warcraft release date is November 23rd. I need to get all the new code and site redesign that I started done before that date or it might never get done.
HalfLife 2 is available on the 16th of November. Another game that should be totally amazing.

For Gnomeregan!!!
L and I both got to spend a little over one week playing in the World of Warcraft stress test Beta. I was thoroughly addicted to it by the end of the first day. It has that, hard to explain, quality I felt when I first played Everquest. Its easy to get attached to this strange land and to get deeply involved in the stories unfolding before you.
Everytime we found some new town or hidden place we were both awe struck by how much detail and care has been taken in constructing this world. I can't wait for World of Warcraft to be release so I can experience even more.

It was a pleasant stay, but now I'm back from temporary sanity
I finished Doom 3 this weekend. I'm glad I took my time with it. It was a really fun game. Now I'm looking forward to playing Halflife 2.
I'm working with the Doom 3 editor now, for me this is almost more fun than playing the game. I think I'm going to make my own multiplayer map.
I spent some time working with Polyclay this weekend. I worked on a couple of covered eggs, some beads, and a sculpted relief from some images of Mayan rulers in their elaborate head dresses. I want to do more of this kind of work. I have always been fascinated with Mayan and Aztec art.
I need to do some more sanding, and then I'll put a few pictures up.
Update: Here is a picture of the Mayan inspired piece I did.

Did you hear something?
We have been spending our nights playing Doom 3. This is the scariest game I have ever played. I'm talking about having nightmares here. I was walking down the hall last night and had to stop for a second, cause there might be a monster around the corner. Id Software has really done a great job with this one. The graphics are amazingly realistic and the game does a great job of pulling you into its little fantasy world. I highly recommend it to anyone into these kinds of games. Oh, and don't let your little kids play this game, they will be scarred for life.

Freaky cool game
Check out this weird game... it's harder than it looks
Never Fear! I'll save you.
L and I have been playing alot of City of Heroes lately. In this game you play the part of a Comic Book Super Hero. You pick the costume and the Super Powers. As you gain more experience you get more powers. It's really a fun game.
