A night of old school

Last night was a blast, I got home and we played Fallout 3 for a while, then I bought Minesweeper from XBLA…. I love that game…it’s simple, mathematical, logical, I started off with a few Expert fields, then ran through the first part of the campaign mode….at least they don’t throw some second rate crap story at you, they just let you jump into a bunch of odd shaped maps of varying difficulties.

Then I pulled out an old one that I havn't played with in a while(not that, ya pervs) …..Geometry Wars…..and that was the rest of my night…I even made it to a new high score(don’t laugh, it took all night) of 200,000 in one life….for a high score total of about 203,000…yeah, they really don’t give you a chance once you die after 100,000 points….
All I have to ask…how do you deal with those tinny little ones that swarm you after 150k….all I can ever do is unload on them until they get close and hit the bomb….I sometimes wonder if I should buy the new Geometry Wars….but what’s the point when I still love the original so much?
 
On another note, I have started back into writing one of my many, many unfinished books. The one I chose, a full chronicle of my video game addiction through my youth….now I’m not saying it will be finished any time in the next few years, but if anyone wants to write up something about your experiences with a game addiction, be it your own(DSmooth, I’m looking at you and your WOW “issues”…), or an addiction by one of your kids, family members…whatever….I would be glad to include it (while giving you full credit for it) assuming I actually finish this one….But feel free to include anything about how you got over that specific situation (if you did), anything your friends or family could have done to help,
 
But my immediate task at hand….I’m going to try to make myself a new sig and banner….since my wife told me that my current sig is a bit too creepy….so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know…

I have gone with a few different people for sigs and banners before, but I think I may be able to make one myself....I think...I just need to find the right picture that expresses my semi-psychotic, antisocial, and rather creepy personality....

Minesweeper is awesome. I've been desperately trying to beat the damn classic easy mode in 15 seconds......I think that achievement is impossible.
