Steve Jobs was big on getting Apple PCs into schools. We had Macs galore in my college computer lab with wopping 20MB external hard drives. Holy cow! The amount of text I could store on that, maybe a whole picture!

A verger is like an assitant to the clergy of an Anglican church. I was in the Episcopal church which is basically what the Anglican church became in America after the revolution. The only differnce is no allegence to the King of England. I would open the church in the morning and then fill in if any acolytes didn't show up. 

I just realized that this show I used to watch Vicar of Dibley, has a verger in it. The character Alice Tinker was the verger and she was depicted as a humerous dimwit. I wonder what that makes me then. 

I was told about the Matrix connection a little while ago, but I just thought about the Halo story connection. Seems Ghost got around in the influence department. 

I kept joking to my friend after watching it that it was so old fashioned: mind melding to technology. Ha! Not so strange anymore. 

Sounds like a game my friend Sean would like. He really got into Wii Sports and Wii Music. I also played the Trival Pursuit and Scene It! games with him on Xbox 360. I kind of wish I had a Switch so I could get him over and the three of us (Mark, I and Sean) could play together again. That's probably not going to happen, though. 

Went on my rental list, for sure. I'm really diggin' rentals right now. I don't have to worry about overspending for something that turns out less than I expected. There are a few titles I must have day-one, though. 

I used to think that way with the Gamecube. If it was a cartoony game, I wanted it on GameCube. Seemed right. I'll play Yookalaylee on XBO, though. Achievements. 

I had a revelation about Ghost in the Shell's story and how similar it is to Halo's. The influence is really clear to me now. 

I liked it a lot because Mark and I would play it co-op. Thing is, he dropped out after Halo 2. So I'm goining solo for the rest. Too bad. Co-op in this game is a blast. 

I tried to trade my PS2 versions in after I got the HD collection on rental, but they wouldn't take KH 1 because it looked damaged. It probably works fine though. But now that I have a copy, I kind of want to play it some more.

Is this what it looked like? 

Montezuma's Castle National Monument is where the Puebloan cliff dwellings are. Montezuma's Revenge: Featuring Panama Joe is your game, I think. 

I played Halo 4 when it came out. I picked up Halo 5 just a few months ago and will play it for the first time in a few weeks, or months. I got Bulletstorm to play this weekend and then Persona 5 on rental after that.
