Playing Catch Up

I've been meaning to write about my trip to Portland, and I swear I'll get around to it when I get back from camping. I've just been incredibly busy with a job promotion, story work, and sleeping.

I wanted to shout out a few things though that were pressing on my mind. I know not many of you here are gamers, but if you have ever heard of Diablo (or Diablo 2) and you liked it, there is a game out called Sacred 2 that has become my newest digital crack addiction. I rarely plug product without reviews, but trust me when I say just go buy it. Everyone who has followed my sage advice so far has not been disappointed.

Also on the game news front, there is a new video out for Halo 3 ODST. As I heard the narrator, I couldn't help but feel as if I had been there before. Everything felt so comfortable. It was as the squad leader pulled his helmet off, that I recognized a very familiar (if not digitized) face. My friends, you get to play as a rookie in a squad with Captain Malcom Reynolds, Jayne, and Wash from Firefly fame.

It was pure genius to me, of course sci-fi nuts already loved the series so why not go cuckoo for coco-puffs bringing the legendary talents back together? It's reasons like these why I'm glad Bungie and all other game-developers are true nerds at heart.

Lately people have been asking me where I get all my crazy T-shirts. Truth be told it depends. A lot of websites offer extremely cheap shirts, usually just for 24 hours and then that's that. I troll through them daily as new prints come up rather quickly. Just don't wear a shirt I'm wearing on the same day. Or else. :)

shirt.woot.com $10 flat rate for a shirt. (wait for Random Woot Days where shirts are only $6 but you don't know what you'll get)
www.threadless.com pricier shirts, but pretty much one of the companies to pave the way lots of great stuff if they actually have it in stock.
www.teextile.com A great layout with lots of premise letting you know the spread for the week with cheaper purchasing on the day it falls on. Sometimes great sometimes not so great.
www.teefury.com A lot like shirt.woot.com however once the day is over the shirt is gone forever.

I promise I'll bring my wit back with the next posting.

OH! Speaking of comedy, just in case you guys have never heard that the bird is the word, there is local comedy club in Santa Clarita. Get this, it's been here for over a decade. I went last week and was thoroughly impressed by the main act. Plus it's only $12 bucks. It's called JR's Comedy Club and it's held at Marie Calendars every weekend. The website is www.comedyinvalencia.com

You won't be disappointed. If you are, you don't know how to find the funniness in life and should live under a bridge.
