My friend from work just left for Oaxaca in Mexico. He'll live there for at least a year. I don't really want to go south. I'm looking north at the moment: Maine, Canada, Alaska, points in northern Europe. That's where I want to go.
It's really hard to see these old games clearly now. When I first went back to Wolfenstein 3d about a year or so ago, I couldn't play it because every room looked the same. Star Wars Dark Forces was equally dull and boring to me when I replayed it on PSN, and Marathon 2: Durandal was so lacking in detail, I got lost constantly. I replayed Wolfenstein 3d recently, though, and got used to the lack of visuals and enjoyed it.
I loved Quake but didn't play much multiplayer. I was thrilled with Duke Nukem 64's multiplayer though. I have vivid memories of that. I never did try Goldeneye back then, for some strange reason.
I've played some Super Mario 64. I still have the original N64 cart for it. I want to try it again. I don't think I've even tried DKC3.
I'm really tempted to get the new King's Quest. I had bad luck playing Grim Fandango earlier this year though. I'm thinking the genre is not for me. I did play the Tales from the Borderlands game this year and liked it though. Come to think of it. I wonder if I've missed episode 4?
Cool. Hey! Did you know Canada has one tenth the population of the U.S.? I read that on wiki. I was surprised and want to move there right now.
I don't get it either. I heard that somewhere. So many people have copied Stevie though. As they say, if you're going to steal, steal from the best.
I have Aenima in my collection. I'd like to get their first EP though. It's probably the one thing of theirs I don't have.
I've been to a few places but mostly east coast USA. I went to Arizona and the grand canyon in my teens and Scotland too. I've been feeling the travel itch lately pretty stongly; been in this darn PA town too long now.
I took a lot of car shots with my zoom all the way down at 36mm. It doesn't distort much, but a little. I really wanted a wide view with some crazy distortion. I did work on a type of shot where the car of interest is in the foreground and the rest of the show is shown behind it. It was an interesting compositional exercise. I have the unedited shots on Flickr. I should edit them, but it's time consuming and I'm not finding time for it right now. Cars reflect a lot of light that throws the camera's sensors off kilter.
I probably played it co-op with Mark on Monday 11 hours straight and didn't want to stop when it was time to. It did crash a few times, but there was no lost saves and we got it back and running right away.
