Almost five years ago I was sucked into the Battlefield universe with Battlefield 2142. Late nights of battling with 3 other friends and the ability to revive fallen squadmates had me hooked. Little did I know the kool-aid would launch me into Battlefield 1943, Bad Company 2 and now Battlefield 3. Having received my beta invite on Xbox (and already played the alpha on PC) my anticipation is beginning to peak. How long until I get bored of the Beta map? Will I be as totally awesome at BF3 as I have been at the other BF games? (of course, silly question). Be still my heart, only 31 more days until release!

Where's the Diablo 3, Forza4, & Minecraft love? Sorry I couldn't resist! Stavos
In what has become possibly the fastest turnaround on a game for me, I completed 4-player co-op campaign in Gears of War 3 and already have it listed on eBay. We also slammed through the 50 levels of horde mode and 12 levels of the new beast mode. If it wasn't for 20 other games I want to play coming out shortly I might hold on to it and finish some more leveling and multiplayer. I credit Lila for my speed play, she was able to take over for bathroom and food breaks.

Do you enjoy the gaming or just the cheevos? You sound like a slave to the cheevo gods. Stavos
After years of anticipation, it finally happened. Tigerbomb Theatre is fully functional, sans an anamorphic lens that does some hiddley hoo to the aspect ratio. Despite not fully understanding the advantage of the anamorphic lense, I made a point to constantly remind Tigerbomb of it's absence, keeping him locked in a loop of sadness while I marveled at the final product. Joined by Whineyho and Gina, we witnessed 3D Tron Legacy, some other movie, and Back to the Future. Breaks were held between movies to allow the awesomeness to soak in, as well as consume hot dogs and chips. I'm proud to say I was one of the first to experience Tigerbomb Theatre, but I refuse to return until the fancy lens is in place.

Awww I wanted to witness the taking of the theatre virginity! And he completely skipped 2D and went straight for 3D eh? Stavos
Windows 8 Preview is out today for consumption. If you ever wondered what Windows 7, Windows Phone 7 and Xbox would look like bundled into a 4GB download wonder no more. It takes a while to get used to the fact that the Windows key now toggles you between "past" desktop and "future" metro style interface, but once you're on board you feel awesome. I'm happy my adoption of Windows Phone 7 has prepared me for the future, and no doubt Bill Gates will reward me handsomly. Judging by the overwhelming success of the sidebar for Windows 7, this new Metro shell should be another whiz-bang success.

So wait they made the desktop look like the phone interface? Sounds like something very simular.... Can't put my Apple errr finger on it. Stavos
Shortly after Google Power gave me the finger, my electric utility decided to blow some sunshine up my butt and give me a new advanced electric meter. Now both the government/secret nefarious agencies and myself will soon have access to my energy usage thanks to the upcoming SmartCurrent program. While so far I've only used the information to make kickass LAN party power usage graphs, I like to think that one day I'll actually use it in a more productive manner.
Not satisfied with just benchmarking my computer, I discovered a new way to compare mobile devices with my friends across platforms and operating systems. Enter Browsermark, which runs a group of performance tests that determine how fast you can run javascript. Clearly the speed of javascript parsing is enough to determine the worth of a device (and therefore the person who owns the device) so I proudly display my 22201 result and await confirmation I'm not as skilled in javascript parsing as my peers.
With my looming office location change approaching fast (Oct 7th) I decided to have a math party and find out the financial damage. This doesn't take into
account the additional hours of my life spent in a car, but the increase isn't as bad as I thought. Hopefully a carpool kicks in and minimizes this even further.
My commute is 57 miles, one way. Quit yer bitchin. You get used to it. Duane
I just ignore anything Duane says about his drive. I'm convinced he has a helicopter or something. Only a sadist would make a drive like he claims to. MorlockPrime
With the Senator birthing a baby soon, his fear of pending isolation has become strong enough to prompt an out-of-cycle LAN party in his honor. Aside from occuring in August, the other notable event is that every attendee brought an Xbox 360 and we successfully supported 8 simultaneous players of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. This means the upcoming November LAN, which will of course be Battlefield 3 centered, can potentially take place on PC or Xbox. As I'm sure most of us will own copies on both systems it will be a tossup. The epic neighbor battle royale did not materialize, as the Senators neighbor and Robbie were not confrontational enough. Excelcier was disappointingly devoid of belches this time around, and the Morlock only made a brief teaser appearance. The 32" LCD Televisions also showed their toll on my electric consumption but made for an interesting size competition that allowed for several sexual innuendos.

It was a glorious end of a non-parent life. Stavos
