The best place in Second Life

Things that I've been up to:

- No good.
- Finished reading Pippin Barr's book
- This poopy educational gaming class
- working four jobs
- being sick three times in a row
- moving
- going to the abandoned amusement park known as Second Life

Redbull Battlegrounds Austin

Grats to MC.

I had a really awesome screen from the tournament saved,
but I fucked it up and this is all that is left.

._.

It will do.


I actually haven't watched the end of the final game. The live stream died from too many people watching.

I haven't watched a tournament or even played Starcraft since the semester started, but I think I'm going to have to get really sick of Diablo 3 first.

How 90% of My Conversations About Gaming Feel

I ran into an old friend that I haven't seen in maybe three years. I tried to explain what sort of stuff I've been doing and researching lately, but it was awkward.

Diablo 3 (or My Life at the Immeadiate End of Spring Semester)

My Diablo 3 characters so far. There's a story to the name BoulderSmash.

I think I've spent a sufficient enough amount of time playing Diablo 3 to actually talk about it now. However, my brain is completely fried from playing so much D3. All I think about is D3. My roommate, who has never played a Blizzard game in her life, references D3 when we talk. I've reconnected with old friends and enemies alike to fight the forces of evil in Sanctuary. My diet went out the window, my sunlight time was cut by probably 75%, and my brain is just fried. People thought I left town. (And I sort of did)

I forced myself to take a long enough break from D3 to realize that I'm behind on everything.
I used Pippin's book as a mousepad without even thinking about it.

D3 is awesome,

in an evil sort of way.

Response: "She Tried To Make Good Video Games For Girls, Whatever That Meant"

This is my personal response to the Kotaku article posted today about girl-centric games
and the failure of Purple Moon.

They're probably enjoying Wolfenstein 3D, like I once did.

Fine Print

Well, this is troubling.

In other news, I got Pippin Barr's book in the mail today.
It's dedicated to all the pigeons in Wellington.
I went to Wellington once, but I don't remember the pigeons.

7DFPS

Sometimes, when I stalk Notch, I see things like this. 7 days to make an FPS? Challenge accepted.

I'm really interested in seeing where this goes…I wonder if I'd be able to throw together something sort of like an FPS before the 9th…
