Big weekend of doing nothing

Spent this weekend doing pretty much nothing.After a long break from it, I finally got to the last few levels in Super Mario Sunshine I played Everquest most of the weekend. My character added some cool stuff to his ever growing hoard of items this weekend.

Happy Sequential Number Day! Game News

Sounds Like Halflife2 won't be out till this summer. Arrrgggg - I want to play this game so bad.

Update

Halflife 2 was one of the best games ever released, and we are still waiting for the 3rd installment.

Blah

Should you go see The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King? Only if you want to see the greatest fantasy movie ever. All three of the movies have been wonderfull, but this one is hands down the best of the three. We are going to see it in the theater at least once more.

Started playing Planetside again. They did a funny thing for the holidays. All of the soldiers helmets have been turned into Santa hats. When a player is killed their backpack turns into a stack of presents and some of the trees have Christmas lights. I still like playing this game alot. It provides me with a simpler game than Everquest, which always requires a great deal of attention to play.

'tis the Season

Finished playing Prince of Persia, the Sands of Time on Monday. What a great game.

I simply can't stand waiting for The Lord of the Rings - Return of the King later this month. Early reviews make it sound like the best of the 3 movies. There are also rumours that Peter Jackson may be making The Hobbit when he is done with King Kong.

Looks like someone is having a case of the Mondays.

Played Prince of Persia, The Sands of Time all weekend. Eighty percent thru the game and my hands hurt. Great game, like an advanced version of Ico.

We are both looking forward to the release of The Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers Extended Edition release tommorrow. Sounds like the bonus footage drastically improves an already great movie.

Happy Birthday Jeremy

Sending Happy Birthday wishes to my Brother today. I Love you.

Personally feeling like utter garbage today. Been stuffed up all week, and the Allegra is not helping much. I think I must be fighting a cold. Damn snot why doust thou vex me so?

Been playing Everquest lately. My wizard is now level 64 and has his epic weapon. This information probably means little to anyone that does not play Everquest but to us freaks it means I have been playing too much. Its going to be interesting to see how the MMORPG genre changes with the upcoming releases of Worlds of Warcraft and Everquest II.

Online Games and Hobbies

I canceled Planetside and Starwars Galaxies. Both games got boring after a while. However, I started playing Everquest again. It can get boring also, but I so far I'm having fun with playing. I have invested so much time in EQ that my character is pretty flexible. I can only hope that EQ2 has the same depth as EQ. Galaxies was nice to look at, but it just didn't have that something extra to make me keep playing.

I have also been messing with Polymer Clay again. I have so many hobbies that I feel guilty spending money on this one. I really want to buy a bunch of tools and equipment to make things easier. I just hope I'm able to stay interested in it long enough to justify the cost.

The Babylon 5 Season 3 box set comes out today.

Being Sick Is Not Fun.

I don't know what I had, but it kicked my ass. It was either some sort of Intestinal Flu or possibly Food Poisoning. I'm still weak, but my system is getting back to normal.

Last week I had the pleasure of watching most of the demo movies for HalfLife2. This is going to be an amazing game. Doom3 is going to have a hard time impressing me after I play HalfLife2. I'm starting to get back into Polymer Clay again. It is a real shame that the only local Guild is based in Ashville.

Planetside

I have been playing PlanetSide almost every night since I bought it. What a fun game. Everquest was getting very frustrating as I gained in levels. Planetside does not suffer from that problem as far as I can tell. Its so easy to just jump in and have fun without getting concerned over details. I give it two thumbs up.

It was the dawn of the 3rd age...

We got the second season of Bablyon 5 on DVD yesterday. I know I have said it before but man this is a great Science Fiction Series.

I am now 70 percent complete in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I have completed all the major storyline missions. I have 98 out of 100 packages, and I own all of the properties in the game. Not much of an accomplishment, but one of the things I can do now in the game is too get the Hunter Helicopter from the Military base. Its way too much fun to fly around blowing up cars and pedestrians.

I can't wait for the new X-Men movie this weekend. I was never a follower of the comic books, but all of the cartoons and movies have been great. I think I might have to check out some of the comics.
