Paladin 4 Life
Some further thoughts on being 25% lighter. First, it feels great to be out in public and to be a figure of some attention as my handsome features have once again come to the fore. Being the object of some considerable desirability is rather exhilarating. At the same time, I feel much more energetic and even, yes, carefree. I no longer need to worry about looking silly while performing certain activites, such as biking or taking other forms of vigorous exercise. How does that feel? Great!
I also feel more assertive, and have begun to let my coworkers know it in no uncertain terms. I find, as a result, they're more apt to do as I say.
All of the above creates a kind of positive feedback loop that makes me feel bolder, happier, and more free than previously -- and probably ever.
Xbox 360 is a hoot. While "Gears of War" is good and all, I find most of my time being spent in the Xbox Live Arcade, where's I've already dropped a 20 spot on two games and a gamer picture pack. The games I've purchased are "Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved" and "Uno". Yes, that "Uno". "Uno" for XBL is exceedingly slick, with pleasantly funky graphics and lounge-style music redolent of the era in which is was created. It is also, when four humans are playing it over the internet, an exceedingly vicious contest for domination and control -- and one that's a lot of fun. Especially when one of your partners is using a webcam and is a handsome young man with his shirt off, showing his ripped abs for the world to see (I kid you not).
"Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved" harkens back to the vector graphics arcade space shooters of the 80's, and is best described as a cross between "Tempest", "Asteroids", and "Robotron: 2084". The production mimics that old timey vector graphics look but as a series of impossibly brilliant and eye-catching fireworks, thanks to the powerful graphics engine at the game's disposal. I find it exceedingly fast-paced and challenging, and the Achievements for it ("trophies" that are associated meeting specified goals within each game for Xbox 360) are by no means easy to attain.
I cannot discuss "Hexic HD" at this time as I fear it will devour my soul. You need only know that it is brought to us by the pernicious creator of "Tetris".
Today brought the news that Xbox 360 owners with Xbox Live memberships can look forward to a treat this coming spring - free, all-access enjoyment of the "Halo 3" multiplayer beta. This was announced to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the launch of the original "Halo", which premiered alongside the original Xbox. "Halo" was the game that launched a zillion consoles and basicially kepy Microsoft from being laughed out of the market by Sony, Nintendo, and the as-yet-competitive Sega.
In terms of real-life achievements, I got a B+ on my paper on Lolita. Hooray!
