Blah!

Forgot I had this lol.

Had my kid this past weekend. As much as I love him dearly. He's definitely in that terrible two's stage, and he can be overwhelming sometimes. BUT at the end of the day he's just the sweetest guy, and when he tells me he loves me it washes all the frustration away.

In the process of starting a webcomic. It's hard if you don't know where to look. I started to do it on Blogger..but it didn't feel right. So I found ComicFury. A site designated to host webcomics. It's simple, it's free and the community is in the same interest as I am. Hope to be putting stuff up soon!

The main reason of not really getting any work done, is video games. I finished StarCraft II it was pretty epic! My friends convinced me to return to wow, and I did. It was fun for a little while..but I find myself in the same spot...BORING! So I'll be stopping that until the expansion comes out. So all in all taking another break from gaming. Focusing more on my health more than anything. Start to eat better, go for a walk or jog. I need to run at the track at the local high school, because they use padding. I can't run on cement at the weigh I'm at because I'll bust my knees!

I'll start to track my progress as I go.

Heres the site I put up an intro of sorts for the Webcomic CHECK IT! HERE

Getting My A**! handed to me

The multiplayer is kicking my ASS! Especially on the 1 vs 1!




I was placed in the lowest of the lows. Pretty much with the other people who suck at the SC II MP. LOL

Weekend Roundup

I know its Wednesday morning. But I forgot to do my weekend roundup on Sunday night.

Friday I helped my sister move from her apartment to her new house. It's across the street from a HUGE mall that has everything. It's  a nice gated community.  I went home and my Dad and kid where there waiting for me. We all went to have dinner at our local Chinese joint. It was delicious as usual. We went to the local park in our neighborhood and Liam ran around and played the playground for a good 45 minutes.The rest of the night we just chilled at the house.

Liam at Dinner

Saturday spent a chunk of the day at the house with Liam. My mom was out helping my sister do stuff. Liam and I watched so cartoons. We tried to go out but it was so damn HOT! I napped with Liam till about 5ish. Was trying to figure out what i wanted to do for the night. We went over to my sisters apartment, so i could take Liam swimming and my mom could help my sis finish cleaning the apartment. I hadn't really gone swimming with Liam. Maybe once when he was almost a year old. It was a lot of fun. I got him a floaty thing that he wears, and it did it's job kind of. I made sure I held him the entire time. At one point it rained, only for about 5 minutes or so, it was soooo nice! My sisters made some oven pizza. Then we moved some more smaller things over to her new place.

Ready to SWIM!
Sunday took Liam to the park for like 3 hours. We came home and he passed out right away. We went to applebee's for some unlimited soup and salad, Liam had the macaroni
.
Passed out...PINK COVERS!
I say it was a pretty solid weekend.

StarCraft II has consumed me these past few days. The story is getting REALLY good, and the multiplayer is too much fun.

Forest Whitaker from Battlefield Earth??

PC

Finally picked up my full copy of StarCraft II. This game has so many things to do..its crazy! Played a few matches online. I still have a lot to learn. I also hooked it up to my HDTV and it looks fantastic! All I really need is a better graphics card with double the ram and I should be good to go.

They finally have Star Gate Atlantis on Netflix st reaming. Been meaning to watch it for the longest time.

That's about it.

Some more StarCraft II

Played some multiplayer for the first time on StarCraft II. Didn't really know what to expect. They give you the option to do 50 practice round against the computer or actual players. This gets you use to jist of the game and sets you against new players, so the game battle is fair. The first battle was against a player named DAN. I told him to take it easy on me, he told me he sucks at this game. I was able to drop a nuke (pictured bellow) roughly 10 minutes into the match. It took out a wide area of his structures, and the match was looking to go my way.

Nuking some noob
20 something minutes later he was crashing trough my base with a shit load of Mechs, battle cruisers, riflemen, and heavy armor mercenaries. He ended me. I figured out the problem. I wasn't utilizing all the resources that I had. The second battle I tried something different focusing on gathering minerals and resources first, the focusing on building structures and manpower. It worked and I was able to construct a huge army and take out the other player's base, with little resistance. The third and final round I applied the same tactic with the same results. I'm loving this damn game!

Benihana's

soooo gooood!
It was my Nieces 16th birthday yesterday. So we surprised her with a birthday dinner at Benihana's, an upscale Japanese restaurant, where they cook the food in front of you. I have to say that this was the best food I've had in a looong time! The cook was funny, and the environment was fun. After we where stuffed, the cake was brought out, the employees sang happy birthday in English and Japanese Also sat next to a cool couple who bought us a couple of rounds of California rolls.

Mad Men

Man...what can I say about this show that hasn't been said already? Besides "Lost" I can't say that a show has kept me glued to the TV like Mad Men. Every single episode up to date, has been so intriguing. KEEP IT UP!

Random StarCraft II

Finally figured out how to take an in game picture.

The Terminator...of BP


This cracked me up

Star Craft II first impressions


I got a computer that isn't necessarily made to handle gaming. I mean I have a decent graphics card that's outdated. It can handle World of Warcraft with no problems and older games. But when it comes to newer games it tends to fall short. So that's why I didn't run out and pick up StarCraft II. I knew it was meant for beefed up computers. I heard that the game came with a guest pass, that allowed a friend to download the full game and play for 7 in game hours. Luckily i had a friend who got the special edition and got like 3 guest passes so he gave me one.

After about a 4 hour download and a 15 minute install i fired up the game. I was surprised on how well it handled the game. I didn't really have any issues playing the campaign. But I'm really liking it so far. It has a lot of variety in each missions, and the in between stuff you can do, like go around the ship interact with people, upgrade your units. I also like how a little bit into the game you can chose how to branch out on the missions. I haven't even tried the online portion yet. Seriously thinking of getting this game.
