I love my turntable. IT's nothing fancy, like a $100 one my brother bought me for xmas. I'm in the process of upgrading my stereo, bought a new center channel. I like listening in 5.1 "stereo". I order a lot of used and new classical records.
Well, hello again.

So, looks like my workplace stopped blocking game sites. I don't know if this was intentional or not, but its been like this for about a week. Might as well take the opportunity to post a quick blog.
I finally dove in to Diablo III, its on sale right now on battle.net for $20. Thats the sweet spot price for me. So far I really like it, better than I thought I would. I really liked the music that would play in Tristram in the older Diablo games, it was a little touch that really set the mood for the rest of the game. I was worried if they couldn't match that feeling I wouldn't be as in to the game. But there is similar music (if not the same), so I'm happy. :)
I'm also almost finished with Shovel Knight. Man, such a good game. There isn't more I can say about it that hasn't been said. Some people say they got the feel of NES games perfectly, which is what makes the game great. I disagree, the NES element is done great, but what they got perfect was integrating modern elements seamlessly. I play on 3DS and the 3D effect fits so well.
I was really excited for Destiny, I loved the beta and was ready to dedicate as much time as I could. Thankfully I didn't pick it up day one and waited to hear on other peoples reactions. One thing that turned me off is the long missions and inability to pause. Sorry, I got a newborn, that just aint gonna work. I barely have time to bop around Diablo as it is.
So, I have other hobbies besides games, believe it or not. Right now I'm working on getting a sweet vintage stereo setup. I scored a sweet receiver at savers and now looking for an equally sweet turntable to spin some vinyl. Gotta love that soft analog sound. Also, now that its getting darker earlier, its prime starwatching season. I have a decent telescope of my own and I also visit an observatory regularly.
Lastly, if all goes acording to plan we'll have our Pixlbit Dungeons & Dragons game tonight. So far I'm liking 5th edition. I'll post more thoughts about after we play.
Cheers!
