PixlBit

Still plenty of time to wager a guess at this week's Trivia Thusday, if you so choose to.

     There were a few years where I was too busy to play anything, but about 1995, I reestablished a friendship with one of the old gang, my current gaming pal Mark, from the neighborhood of my high school years. We got right into gaming, of course, starting with the PC. We had several PC’s with P75 processors linked up to play Doom, Doom II, Quake, Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Heretic, WarCraft: Orcs & Humans, and WarCraft II. It was all about FPS’s and network play mostly.

At least, that is what we were taught in Catholic school. Despite no longer being Catholic (which I don't want to dwell on), I still think some of the stories about the saints were pretty cool. 

Hello fellow Pixlbit folks! It’s Friday, I’m running on a couple of hours of sleep, and for many of you good folks, you’re going to be celebrating Valentine’s Day with your special people. I’m single so I’m going to be spending money on myself and I will probably be hitting the local mom & pop music store today along with a couple of thrift stores. Since it is Friday it is time for another Quick Hits with Chris. Today I thought I would go over my thoughts about the Olympics, Another game is knocked off Mount Backlog, and of course pickups, so let’s get this party started!

Funny, just as the same time as i'm expanding my gaming horizons and i'm trying to discover many more music, i'm seem to have mostly left movies behind. Don't get me wrong, I still love cinema as a medium, but because of not paying much attention to it since the 2013 Oscars, I still have many movies i'm eager to see, but still haven't gotten the oportunity to do so. It's also because of this, and other factors as time and lazyness, that 2013 was a very light year with movies. Still, I managed to catch some of the bigger releases and to keep track of a list of the few ones I saw, so without anything else to say, here's the movies of 2013 (from my personal best to worst):

... I've been down since I began to crawl

Thanks to my street not being paved today, I am home once again instead of risking life and limb to be in the office.  And that's just fine with me!  I will need to dig my car out from the surround bank of snow, but I'll wait until the sun really heats things up this afternoon.  Otherwise, I'm all set for the weekend.  Also, it's mid-February, which means that I made it through half the month on the Blog A Day challenge!  Woo Hoo!

Welp, we got some US sales figures last night. Here's my take:
