Flash Game Mania!

I apologize (once again) for the lack of activity in my blog and on the Comment Exchange Boards. I should have nothing to do tomorrow, so I'll catch up on the boards most likely tomorrow. As for the inactivity in the blog, I think I have a solution.

Flash Game Mania is an idea I had after coming across an article naming 150 of the greatest flash games ever created. The plan is to play all 150 games and blog my progress and thoughts on the games. That's right. All 150 games. I have no clue when I'll finish but it may starts as early as tomorrow morning - maybe even tonight.

It's going to be a long 150 games.

My orientation went surprisingly well. Given my choices between this private school and the much larger public school, I think the choice is clear. I plan on going to the private school for a few reasons. The biggest being that most of my friends already go/are going to that school. I don't think I could handle the huge public school with a ton of people I don't even know.

Yeah, the private school is going to be harder, but I think I'm ready. These are the years it really counts. I just hope I can make the best of it.

Cake and Updates

Just wanted to get a few things out before I hit the hay.

1. I saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince the other night, so expect a review of that in the near future.

2. I intended to put up a new Ultimate Warrior post tonight, but I never got around to it and I'm too tired to make one up tonight. I'll hopefully have it written up by tomorrow. Sorry.

3. I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop the whole video game forum thing. Instead, I'll probably make a new blog with my views on the video game industry and such. Let me know what you think about that.

4. Incoming blog about new TV series "The Colony". It's good.

And now for something completely different.

Oh, Good to be Home

The trip was great. I got back late Wednesday night and boy was I tired. Car rides aren't very fun for me. I tend to get butt cramps, but that's another story. Washington was fun, as always. I've seen just about all the sights before (including the Holocaust museum where I swear I talked to the man who was killed not to long ago), but I stayed with my aunt and my 2 year-old cousin Kyle. He's a funny kid who has a liking for green beans and Nirvana and bears a striking resemblance to Joe Pesci. I saw the little guy once not long after he was born and he's grown quite a bit. Washington itself was a blast. It rained a little, but I can't complain. I had a conversation with a homeless Vietnam War vet underneath a bus waiting booth during a rainstorm. Good to know we're treating our vets well, especially in our nation's capital. Through it all, there's no denying the best of going on vacation is that first step you take into your house when you get back home - at least for me. I'm more of a homeboy who's probably going to live the rest of his life in some little town in Pennsylvania.

I was sure to overwork myself the first day I was home. I've begun construction of a video game discussion forum. It's something I've thought about doing for a long time and finally took those first steps to doing it. It's not quite finished yet, but I'll announce when it's ready to be open to the public.

After using my uncle's laptop for a bit, I made the choice to download Firefox 3.5 on my own computer. Great choice. Pages load noticeably faster than on Internet Explorer, it's easier to navigate, and spell check is a lifesaver. I'd recommend it. If you have a slower connection or a generally crappier computer, use Firefox 3.1
