Through the power of radio!!
Bought some podcasting equipment today. Provided I can actually set it up, I might have a show ready to live this week!! EXCITEMENT!!
Uncharted
Just finished Uncharted. I'm pretty happy with the experience, despite the unbeleivably aggravating end sequence. Going to plug away a little more at bully before jumping into inFAMOUS.

Terminator
We went and saw terminator last night, J3nn, Kevin and I. I really enjoyed it, kevin thought it was entertaining but cheesey and J3nn really wasn't into it. There were quite a few nods to the previous movies which were amusing, and some nods to other movies, either intentional or un, but all in all i really dug it.
The FUTURE
So, i've been trying to explore my artistic side, as well as establish some sort of goal/dreams for myself. Maybe its because i'm a dad, or maybe because I've always had a real job and responsibilities, but being artistic, or chasing dreams has never been me. That is going to change today. My life is at a very stable point right now, I have a good job, i'm in the most stable relationship of my life, i'm close to being debt free, etc. Now's the time to start exploring what I want out of life to make me happy.
First, I want to write more. I have a story I want to tell, and i'm going to start putting it together. The blog was originally supposed to be a tool to help me develop writing habits, and its been a good resource, but now I need to step up.
Second, I want to share my passion, video games, and podcasts. The blog has gone a long way in doing that, and i'm gonna commit to more of it, especially now that i'm more used to mobile blogging, but i'm also going to move into the world of podcasting. I'm going to hopefully have the equipment by tomorrow, and a website and hosting service live by next week. The plan is to have a rotation of guests, with me as the only fixed host, but that may change if the podcast grows.
Third, though this is more of an extension of the second one, I want to start a gaming store. I want it to be a blend of video games, board games, etc. This is more of a long term goal, as although my financial security is decent, I still need to be cognizant of responsibilities to my family. This is something i'm going to pursue over the next few years.
That's it for now. I'm excited about the potential for everything, but cautiously pessimistic.

Game update, June 6
I'm in a renaissance of gaming right now. I went through a dark ages period in which my Xbox, Ps3, Ds and PSP had been stolen, but they have been replaced, and I've been going whole hog on gaming since then. I'll break it down by system.
DS: My tried and true friend. Its been a lot of GTA Chinatown Wars, and I've been hot and cold on it. Its been lauded as perhaps the best GTA to date, but I don't know that I'm ready to agree. I think the usage of the touch screen controls are the best I've seen on the ds to date, with the exception of using it to throw grenades, and the narcotics trading system is an excellent addition, but the birds eye view can be challenging and the controls and aiming aren't always intuitive. I'm struggling a bit with length, but will likely stick to it.
PSP: When I first replaced the PSP, I was all about D&D Tactics. I'm a d&d fan from way back, and the way the stick to the mechanics sang to me like a siren song, but there were some camera and pacing issues that made it difficult to enjoy. I'm still going to go back to it, but for now the PSP is all about puzzle quest.
Xbox 360:
Bully, which is a Rockstar game. Similar in play and mechanic to the GTA games, but more of a cruel intentions type theme. You play Jimmy Hopkins, a roustabout whose mom and stepdad ship him out to Bulworth academy while they go on an extended honeymoon. Everything is exaggerated of course, but its a fun game with some new ideas and some aggravating achievements.
PS3:
Uncharted: Drakes Fortune. A sort of tomb raider meets gears of war with incredible visual design and powerful graphics. I'm late to the party on this one, but definitely a great game. Should be finished up by the end of the weekend, then on to inFAMOUS.
Wii:
The Wii hasn't got much love from me lately as a game machine. Primarily I've been using it as a workout system, but I had to take a break because of the ills of working out on concrete floors in bare feet. Threw in Super Mario Galaxy the other day and finished a few levels. I also remembered how frustrating it is and why I quit in the first place
PC:
WHAT?!?! PC GAMES?!?!
That's right, I'm back into PC games. Bought Sims 3 for j3nn and got surprisingly into it. Also, the Klondike Kid bought me a copy of Lord of the rings online, so I'll be rocking that.
