Remembering Sept 11th

I was in Manhattan working, and saw the whole thing from my bosses window. I did'nt leave until the first tower fell, only to discover that all transportation was shut down and I had to walk over the 59th street bridge (I'm on 18th st btw). It was scary, sad, and devistating. It was also really hard for my brother and his friends, he had just become a NYC cop. Our twins first birthday was the next day 9/12, and I spent the day at home wondering what kind of future they might have. Here's a link to my Battlestar Fan Club site, where I still keep a memorial, and the photos I took that day from my building window.

My Losing Playstation GAP Contest Entry

Thought you may get a kick out of my contest entry for Sony's Playstation GAP contest. It lost last year, but I still think it's pretty funny. I thought it would be more relevant, now more then ever, with all the articles lately about Parental Supervision of kids gaming habits.

G.R.A.W. Still the best for 360!

Still playing GRAW, tried to go back to COD2 once they released the fixes and new levels, but no dice. Then GRAW released new content, that was worth the wait. Burnout 3 is great single player, and so is Amped. Full Auto was horrible, and Avoid Chrome Hounds at all costs. Maybe it's just me, a bunch of folks from both 2old2play and 2old2pwn (Who shall remain nameless) recommeded Chrome Hounds to me. I am not usually big on Mech games, and now I remeber why. Too slow, too hard to kill anyone, and too much customization and tinkering. I just want to play dammit, not spend 2hrs in a Virtual Garage constructing a Mech, then 30 mins waiting for a battle, only to get wiped out by folks that constructed far superior Mechs. I just don't have the time, nor the energy. I may try to finish the Single Player, but even that looked kinda bland. The only game coming out soon that shows some promise is Saints Row. The demo was pretty good, and apart from being a COMPLETE GTA RIPOFF, its actually pretty good. It will have to hold me until the real GTA for the 360 comes out in November 06.

Knaabi

Very sorry to hear about Knaabis wife. I just got back from my brothers wedding and his wife is 26. I could not image someone that young dying suddenly of heart failure. I feel for Knaabi and his children, I have two 5 year old girls, I dont know what I would even say to them if my wife passed away. Please check out the notice today on the main page, and donate what you can to help the family.

G.R.A.W. Is my new Favorite!

G.R.A.W. has taken over my gaming life. I was playing COD2 and Q4, but there is no comparison to this game. Much better graphics, gameplay, single player, and multi-player than any othet Xbox360 game I have played. My only complaint is no Clan support. Ill see you there....
