⇒ el diablo: lord of destruction!

picked up the diablo II battlechest--at long last. I've kind of wanted this for about 6-odd years(?). Now I have it. It was goin dirt-cheap and I figured "might as well"...fanatastically addictive game which never lets you go...unless your PC dies or you have life-altering exams coming up.

Down the line I'll setup a mini-network so that me and my bro can roll around kicking ass medieval style! But why does it run so very slow on the MAC? My hardware is way more than adequate. So what's up?

Anyhoo--bring on diablo III!!!

⇒ norita

went to 'norita' today--korean cafe/board game joint. Great service (very friendly--or just curious about my rugged good looks?) and nice atmosphere. A very chill-out kind of place. When I came home, to my surprise, Amazon aced the delivery of my brand-new, factory fresh Converse double uppers!!!!! (And so they bloody-well should--I paid through the nose to get these limited edition bad boys!). Delivery was: 1. early!!! 2. perfect condition 3. correct and exactly as specified. Very happy with the transaction (although decreasing delivery costs wouldn't hurt either) ;)

my thoughts on the industry? games are progressively getting tougher to learn how to play--it's a side effect of having too much control and thus requiring too many buttons--that is until the Wii dropped. Lots of control possibilities and natural learning curve make short work of this problem, but it's up to developers to do something interesting with it.

holy shite--I just placed an additional order at hlj.com: I added a super/strike valkyrie, a FAZZ sentinel gundam and a crossbone full-cloth gundam to the mix! I cannot be stopped!

⇒ 1st anniversary

one year of blogging has just gone by. Normally, I'd lose interest and stop blogging after about 6-7 entries. Something kept me going--I guess it's just a way to rant...or vent.

⇒ wimbledon mens' finals 2007

federer edged out nadal (produced his 'good' level tennis ftw). Nothing against federer (I was rooting for the guy) but nadal was f#cking amazing! He scared the shit out of everyone--not just federer. On federer's stomping ground, he brought it in a big way and took it to 5 sets.

I think this wasn't federer's best performance but he did throwdown 24 aces compared to nadal's 1. Seriously, where was the federer magic? His backhand work was sloppy and he continually hit the ball into the net when the federer we all know would've knocked that shit around the net while running backwards and not looking.

Still, a win is a win. They now stand 8-5 head to head (Nadal's leading) but Nadal's only 21. Looks like this guy is gonna be the one who dominates if federer's not around on any surface. His performance on grass was amazing!
