Gaming has been fun lately.  Very, excessively, almost illegally fun.  At the same time as Chains of Promathia is released, so is Burnout 3, WarHammer 40K: Dawn of War a new Dance Dance Revolution and some other stuff.  It's a very confusing time for me, now.  I mean, Chains of Promathia looks like it adds some pretty new locales to FFXI, ( Read more... )

    I had intended to write something more substantial today, but it seems mental block arises as soon as I take pen to hand (fingers to keys?) and all I could get out was ... well...

I'm a girly man.  My desktop, I think, is the epitome of what I mean.  Observe.  Brownie points go to anyone who can identify the "Mystery Music".  Triple ( Read more... )

    Today's tale begins with the forging of new lens.  Two pairs, actually, since Lenscrafters didn't quite get the first set right.  But, like all great things, art cannot be rushed..  And so art was forged, twice, and placed within the graceful, yet protective encasings of a frame..  Or something..  The net result is I was an hour late in ( Read more... )
