Mount And Blade:Warband is awesome, especially for $10 bucks. The first M&B doesn't have multiplayer, so just get Warband if you're interested. Warband is basically the original game with improvements and the addition multiplayer. It's a bit janky on the controls side, but it's a medieval 3rd person combat game that going for realism. So it's pretty friggen hard. But, it's addictive and the multiplayer is insane because there are servers with like over 100 people in them and there's times when the chaos of the mounted combat is just overwhelming. Makes you think "fuck, people really fought this way.." - Look it up on YouTube - it's no AAA-title, so it might not be your thing. I think it's a blast though. $10 bucks this weekend, but remember, just get Warband and not the original.
What's the deal with Mount & Blade?

Been looking around at previews for the new WoW stuff, and the way they've reworked all the zones looks really cool. I'm kinda fired up!

Booty on the girl at 3:15 I think would've had Sir Mix-A-Lot's stamp of approval.

Ended up having a mini game day. Played the new Dungeonquest (really fun, and not at all impacted by the fact that we were totally drunk -- by the way, we started playing at about 11:30), got in a game of Small World, and a game Aeryk picked up called Claustrophobia -- basically a fantasy version of Space Hulk. Fun game.
Check out this video on the new Vlaada game Sneaks & Snitches - looks fun!

Happy belated Herr Dork.

Google.com is a great resource on the world-wide web that enables you to 'search' for pages on the internet! I found some great information about computers using it, try it out!
Google Maps is a robust location finder and has some great features like Satellite view and customized travel instructions by car, on foot, or using public transportation.

Google phone seems like it has some nice features and potential, will have to figure out some good uses for it.

Strategicon! Sept 3rd weekend!
I'll be attending for all of us. Thinking about chiming in on the Axis and Allies tourny parade for old times sake.
Google Voice looks pretty interesting. You can easily record a call between 2 people (you just click a button) and they also do conference calls (which you can't record YET!) Elrick, we should test it out, see how it feels with some mini podcast or something.

One last selling point for the sketchy lodge:















They spray paint their name on all the towels and linen, hahaha. I like to think of that as a selling point. The Yelp reviews are pretty funny but they're mostly for the little rooms, not the "house", but I'm okay with a proper hotel or whatever. The idea of something in the woods though is kinda rad and I wish it can happen someday.

Happy BDAY Elricide! And Congrats Jael!
Accepted the Bus Development Manager offer! I know it wasn't exactly the title I wanted but i'm still looking forward to it and excited, but indirectly I was told I will also be doing part Product manager roles in developing products, so, wearing hats.

So many topics on the table:

1 - Gencon 2011 - am inz!!!! would like to sell some games but that's probably better done at Kubla, as hauling a bunch of games would be tough on the plane.

2 - Haunted Cabin vs Embassy Suite - Hands down Embassy suites. (not keen on getting murdered anywhere)
I would also like to demo my newly designed war game - S u n T z u - Artz of Warz Chinaz
(remove the z's)

Happy bday elric
