Goddamn Templates!!

I really don't know which one I should stick with.  I hate myself right now.

New Post Editor...and I'm back!

It's been a while since I've written here, but I missed my little patch of virtual space and decided to cultivate it a little bit further, now with blogger's improved post editor.  Well so much for product placement.

The Start of a New Semester

This time around I am not taking any notebooks or pens. It's a waste of paper, but I do have to take coursework and whatnot. The rest is being kept on my trusty laptop. Oh and installing Windows 7 is a bitch!!

Prolonged Abscence

Exams ended in December, but I've been having a blast in my holidays thus the need to post on this blog has decreased.

Nevertheless I do miss the interwebs and its whacky coolness.

Laters!

Dragon Age Anonymous

They're going to have to create it just for us RPG addicts to go to.

In Through The Gate

Well for the last couple of weeks I've been hooked on one particular TV series and universe. The Stargate Universe. For me, the biggest Sci-Fi geek amongst my friends, it is truly cool and immensely satisfying to watch. The characters are cool and deep, the plots and devices absolutely ludicrous, and the technological gadgetry is absolutely out of this world!

OK, enough fanboyism; bottom line is I'm hooked.

New cast. RDA is not on there.

Monthly Updates

Well, it's been almost a month since I last posted; given that no one actually reads this blog I'll just keep on ranting my usual tirade of bland and mundane topics. Here be no dragons, no opinionated bigotry articles, here be a simple citizen of the world using his little patch of cyberspace to grow a sweet little garden of personal delights.

So far this month has been nothing but mundane. The only cool things have been my best friend's permanence in the country, my rugby club ascending to the top flight of Argentine rugby, and my girlfriend getting top score on her master's thesis.

On my gaming side, I'm itching to try out two games: "The Force Unleashed" and "Dragon Age: Origins".

Another rediscovered delight was finding and replugging my old Nintendo 64, now part of my complex desk/work/entertainment station. I'll be rediscovering my preteen gaming love over the next couple of weeks before I fly off to Europe and cold winter.

Thankfully the N64 game case I bought a couple of years ago (actually 10 years ago!!!) is now a godsend! Now I plan on rediscovering Link's two massive adventures, relive the excitement of being 007 or just frolic around with any of the Mario titles.

Cinematic Gaming

Yep, now with Dead Space as my new gaming acquisition I will immerse myself in the odd and strange world of sci-fi horror. Event Horizon, Aliens and other films give us the overall hierarchic idea behind this.

On an interesting note, the main character is a systems engineer. I find this very amusing because lately there has been a shift from action-star heroes to book-smart everyday joes. I like that.

All It's Cracked Up to Be

Most definitely, the new Batman game is beyond awesome. You get to be the Dark Knight and kick some serious villain ass!

On a side note, I've been watching "From the Earth to the Moon" and I have to say I'm once again hooked and simply enamored with my childhood dream of being an astronaut. Now I know of course that in real life there is no chance for me to obtain this goal, since I know pretty much that in my lifetime astronaut seats will only be saved for those with an engineering degree and a head just filled with numbers and formulae, and unless I'm a bajillionaire, the chances of me hitching a ride either on a Soyuz or Shuttle vehicle are intensely small. I've bookmarked all the important websites, dug into their RSS feed and even subscribed to their official YouTube channel! If I can't be in space I might as well live vicariously through them! Check out the test trials for the new Moon Rovers!! It is truly a sight to behold!!

The Emmys were on tonight so that was a nice fun distraction; which also reminded me that all my favorite shows will be coming back up (I have to wait till January for Lost and 24 to begin their new seasons!), so I've already caught myself up with Supernatural's new episodes. :D

Now with my exams coming up I have to tone down my stuff a little bit more, but all in good faith for now. Now I have to remember to get Buffalo Springfield's Something's Happening Here. That's a good song.

Toning Up

So several things at once:

1. Back to the gym; hopefully in 3 months my body will be back to optimal standards.
2. I have to buy a new printer; the old one is from 2001 and still runs on a parallel port!
3. I'm flexing my gamer muscles till I can get my hands on the new Batman game. Apparently it is the best to come out from the dreaded superhero genre.
