Psonar's Blog
Psonar reporting in! Hear my latest thoughts on my website, my speedruns, and current games I'm playing.
First Blog Entry! May 25, 2007

Hello! Welcome to my blog. If you're reading this and you haven't yet visited my new site, then check it out:

The Site

I've currently got the index page, plus pages on speedruns, Star Fox 64 High Scores, and Star Fox 64 Low Scores. I still have a lot of work to do, because right now it's just a bunch of links. I hope to add more strategy info to the High Score and Low Score pages, and add links to all of the segments of my low score run. I also really need to get some pizzazz into the site by adding some more images . Something unifying in the upper corners, then maybe some images relating to the theme of each page to break up the text.

The index page is still a haphazard laundry list of hyperlinks and needs to be organized into a central hub of info that's informative while still being inviting.


One of my biggest immediate roadblocks is that I'm trying to do as much as possible with handwritten HTML. I've yet to use an editor for anything, because I want to figure out as much as I can myself and inject add-in components where needed (like the hit-counters now on each page).


The Games

I've been playing a whole list of games in the last week or so:

  • Jedi Starfighter

  • Rogue Squadron (N64)

  • Descent 2

Just last night I started up Freespace for the first time in a while and played through a dozen or so missions. It's been a while since I've played through this game, and I haven't touched it since I became involved in the internet gaming community. As I play through it again, I can't help but think of it's speedrun potential. Before the summer is out, I may very well cook up an individual level table for the game. Especially if I can get some competition on SDA.

I should also mention that I have a speedrun of Star Wars: Starfighter (PS2) in verification over at Speed Demos Archive. If I have a next run it will probably be something on the list above. I said I would give Rogue Squadron a shot, but when I started playing through it, it proved to have a much steeper learning curve than I had anticipated. I'm not sure at this point. Only time will tell - the summer is yet young.


That wraps up my initial entry!

Ah, I like that you have a website and blog for your stuff now, I should try and make a website one of these days. Anyways, just dropin' a line, I had sent a PM on SDA but I don't know if you had gotten it or not.
