Back to School

It’s that time of year again. The Fall semester of school is starting up in only a few days. My joy for this is only over shadowed by the sheer terror I have for the class I have set myself up for. I’m sure everything will be fine once the classes actually start, but for now I’m content to pace back and forth wondering what the Hell I got myself into.

The plus side is the purchase of new notebooks. Over the years I became a fan of the Mead Five Star Quad Ruled spiral notebook. So much so, that I use the quad rule or graph paper for every class. I just wish Mead made a Five Star 3 Subject Quad rule notebook.

Not as I do

I tend to preach a bit when it comes to backing up and organizing ones personal computer. When people ask me what the best why to back stuff up I usually tell them to copy their files over to another storage device every so often. I’ve never trusted software to do this for me and never the stuff that come bundled with most external HDD these days. I have no good reason for this bias, I just have it.

Recently though, I have been working from 3 different laptops and in my haste I have managed to have three different versions of an article I have been working on. Along with many other things as well. And guess what! It would appear that I have managed to not havethe right versions with me! So rather then work on something of actual value, I’m writing this post about my own incompetence.

The funny thing is I have things like flash drives and a Dropbox account. Yet here I am not using them. So lesson here folks, do as I say not as I do.

10 Random Songs

Often wonder how I developed my taste in music over the last 20 years.  I placed my iPod on random and these are 10 random songs that came up:

1) Bad Touch by Bloodhound Gang

2) American Gigolo by Weezer

3) 24′s by T.I.

4) Walk Like an Egyptian by The Bangals

5) Everybody Got Their Something by Nikka Costa

6) You Won’t Make a Fool Out of Me by Flogging Molly

7) Get Over It by OK Go

8) Broken Glass by Buckcherry

9) Barroom Hero by Dropkick Murphy’s

10) You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’ by The Righteous Brothers

The thing is, this is just a small sample. It get’s better and worse (depending on your taste).

Nobody Likes a Cheater

When it comes to free time, school has a good way of giving you none.  The semester is coming to a close so all teachers are making one last push for assignments and tests.  Which is fine, I like points.  They make my grades better.  However this leaves little to no time for games.

Every time I play Modern Warfare 2 I can feel myself getting sucked in.  I can see myself losing a great deal of time in the Multiplayer once the semester is over.  So when I hear about the glitches that people have been exploiting I can’t help but feel better I have so much work.  I hate cheaters and I mean HATE!  It sucks enough getting beat by that one guy who’s really good, but to get beat by a guy who cheats his way to a win is even worse.

Games have glitches and exploiting them IS CHEATING.  You can’t convince me otherwise.  The Javelin glitch is one of those that you can’t argue is a legit on any level.  That’s why when ever I see someone “glitch” in a game I report them as should you.  Come on people, you know better.

The Frogurt is cursed

Welcome Back

I have been neglectful of this page and for that I am sorry.

In an effort to help make the internet a better place I have pledged to make more effort to provide somewhat inteligent content.  I say “somewhat” due to my nature of immaturity and sense of humor.  That is not a promise that I will be funny.  Oh no.  I just can’t say that I won’t digress into complete idiocy from time to time.

Need to Know:

• School continues.  Lots of homework is what keeps me from you.  Being that I was never a “smart kid”, classes like Calculus kick my butt.
• I write for Sidequesting.com now and that is where more and more of my game related news will go.  Please take the time to check it out.   The guys who write there have a real passion for games and do what they do for nothing but a love a gaming.
• I’m going to try a few new things in the name of Learning, so if the site looks weird (or goes down) in the future…it’s all my fault.

Thanks again.

where’s the “any” key?
