I've been here for years? Well, no, but you get 10 Points if you got that reference...
Hmm...Some of you may have noticed my 5 month abscence...however, that only concerns the three of you that even read this crap. I'm blaming it on a combination of laziness and a willingness to help others. I've been maintaining the page for the web comic by a good friend of mine, called Demockracy (which I would recommend reading by the way). I've also been busy with...um...school...and...um...videogames...

And uh, there's a new comic, because I would look like a damn fool if I updated without one...

Changing subject...

I have been forever spoiled after the madness I experienced yesterday after I hosted a wonderful 10-person Halo LAN party. We had 4 Xboxes hooked up (to 4 TV's) and played hours upon hours of Team Slayer goodness...The LAN went so well in fact, that it will most likely become a regular event, despite the lengthy setup necessary (lugging TV's and wiring everything took about an hour). If you'd like, you can take a look at some pictures of the setup.

While Halo made up the bulk (it was about 90% Halo, 8% Pizza/Soda and 2% Other Games) we still squeezed in a little Dead or Alive 3, Deathrow and Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee. During the heated matches of Halo we played mostly Team Slayer (on a variety of maps) and a little CTF (Sidewinder). We also tried our luck at a little 2 vs. 2 tourney but the teams were mad unbalanced (did I just say "mad unbalanced"?).

Oh yeah, before I forget, Panzer Dragoon Orta has been rocking my mind for a good 2 hours now and I must say that I'm mighty impressed with Smilebit's work. I've also been playing some Shinobi and once again, I'm impressed. Impressed with OverWorks and with the sheer amount of risky games that Sega has given us "genre-breaking-game-hungry" gamers something to chew on.

And speaking of good games, there are (once again) too many good ones to list (but I'll still try). Here's some of the games I'm looking to get soon:

Automodellista
Midnight Club 2
Enter The Matrix (if Shiny doesn't screw it up)
Final Fantasy Origins
.Hack // Infection (and that other one that comes out soon)
Dark Cloud 2
NBA Street Vol. 2
Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner
Xenosaga

Well, it looks like I've got plenty of gaming to do and not much time to do it...er...VOTE FOR INSERT COIN!!
