This isn't a blog post, its an intervention

I have a gambling problem. I picked up the special edition version of Fable 2 and got the Fable pub games

I'm starting to get good at the gambling mini games, if i keep going on this route I'll have plenty of good weapons and items before fable 2 comes out.

Aside from that my friends and I have been making back and forth sends on music lately. I'll send you a mini list of whats on my top 3 right now.

I'm digging frankmusik the most right now. He's incredible.

We went to the burton sale this weekend with my friends Cyrilla, Mike and Ken, it was like a carnival of consumerism

Cyrilla is silly. I actually got some wicked good deals. I bought a 160 dollar back pack for 30, 90 dollar shoes for 15 bucks, and snow pants for 40 dollars. Awesome. Yeah, we e-gamers shop and go snow boarding and such. Pretty awesome.

Anyway, thats pretty much the jist of last week. Join in next week, same blog time, same blog network.

Family Values

So, I saw the new batman movie. Pretty awesome. I have to say it was just about everything I'm looking for. But the question stands: who is gonna be the next batman villian? Some people say it'll be two face and someone else, My brother thinks its the Riddler, and I've got another friend who thinks its Catwoman. Personally, I'd love a film featuring Harlequinn, the joker and Robin, based on "A Death in the Family". BTW don't check the wiki, may contain spoilers!

So my brother visited this weekend. He's...similar to me:

When asked "What super power would you want?" His response was "Liquid Pants".

My brother's pretty special ^.^

That friday I had spent in the game lab with my buddy Keith. Keith's one of the best artist in the grade below me. He's an awesome guy, and tons of fun to hang out with:

He's also a pretty big Naruto fan. Speaking of which, I've been trying to catch up on Naruto lately. I'm waaay behind, but I found a good website to catch up on it. I'm reaching the 100's in episodes now.

Keith and I spent the night working in Maya and ordering fast food. I like working in Maya with friends. When you do it by yourself its so slow and boring, but if you have a good friend to talk to its a lot easier. I recommend to any E-gamers reading this that you pick up a copy and start practicing! Its really important you start modding, scripting, coding and modeling as early as humanly possible. The more practice you get the better!

Speaking of which, here's a heads up for all you E-gamers: Check out some indy games! If you've never played an indy game before i suggest you start looking around at this website:

http://www.indiegames.com/

Its the best place to get started, and if you have an Xbox 360, pick up Braid. It's coming out this Wednesday, and its tottally worth the live points. When you get a chance try your hand at playing an indy game or two. And if you really like them, try making one yourself.

Anyway, I gotta be off. I'm working on an indy game myself!
