Quietly Posting

...Shhh...

So a few things going on.

Going to the gym continues, seems to be going well speaking personally. I am having a hard time making gains in lifting more weight with my back. Oh well, on I go.

An interesting little online `sim' has come to our attention called Nation States. I am curious to see how it plays out based on the answers given to the issues presented to my little country. Had a tough question on whether or not to support cloned embryo stem cell research. Tough tough tough issue. Perhaps some people will think that it is clear cut and that I had a tough time with it says things about my moral/religious/etc character; c'est la vie.

Hmm, it seems Jennifer Garner is no longer seeing her co-star. (sigh) Well. Hmm. Anyways, moving on...

On other media related stuff, I am looking forward to seeing Jersey Girl, might go this Friday when it opens. Now there seems to be a lot going for it. Kevin Smith is great IMO, I like Ben Affleck in Smith's stuff, he did a great job in Chasing Amy. Liv Tyler looks to be very good in the role. Basically seems charming. And for those more cynical types you even get to have J. Lo die. Personally I'm going because of the first few reasons. Really!

Saw something at Penny Arcade a little while ago about a family that plays deathmatch unreal tournament. I found the quote funny, "Clint, I think your mother deserves better than to be killed by the translocator." If you don't play, let's just say that it is an ignomious death. Admittedly deathmatch LAN can be fun. I always tend towards team oriented stuff though. But have played deathmatch type stuff with friends and coworkers. I'm trying to see if I can get Munin playing a little UT2004 with the beta, no luck yet though. :)

On that topic, I still like the pace of the original UT best, it was a little slower but good pacing still. I find the newer ones are a bit faster but still enjoyable. I have been playing Onslaught mode and it is interesting nice style of game. And the tank is just fun!!! Played a little Capture the Flag, also enjoyable. I look forward to trying a couple of the others. But I am concerned about the full game, 6 CDs, 5.5GB drive space! That's a whopper!

EOL for now.
