I promised booth babe pics, and Im uploading them to photobucket right now. However, the file sizes are large (damn fancy digital camera), so its taking a while to upload them. Ill post a link when its all done. Sorry for the delay. :)

So the development of Halo 3 wasnt a big shocker, but seeing it in action was heart-warming and drool-inducing. Im absolutely pumped by the trailer, and Im barely able to hear the sound at the moment. Im in the airport in Phoenix (using their free wi-fi, I might add, thank you Phoenix) so Im being as considerate as I can as Im surrounded by retirees being pushed around in wheel chairs and women that look like their skin is made from sun-worn leather. Regardless of my surroundings, the video is sweet.

I was sent an email at work the other day saying that I get to try out the Wii at E3 during private session from 4:00-6:30 PM (PST) on Thursday. Thats pretty sweet. I know a lot of people arent excited about the new controller (or the Wii-mote), but Im definately eager to see how it will work with game play. If done correctly, other future systems my copy what Nintendo does with their new system for this next generation. I think that it has some real potential. I just hope that the movement of the controller isnt used as a gimmick.

With my previous post, I discussed the failure of my marriage. This one will outline what Im taking away from the relationship. Whamolla stated his reservations regarding his upcoming (impending just sounded like doom, so I chose another word) wedding in a comment responding to my post. And because of my recent failure, I find myself in the perfect place to start giving marital advice. My advice to you, Wham, and to myself :

Just an FYI to anyone that might give a rats ass... Im going to get off my ass and get back into being more active on the site when my personal life gets in order here over the next month or two. By that I mean that I plan to contribute content, utilize my mad mod skillz, etc. I promised Codemonkey a story for the 2o2p zine and I completely dropped the ball. My apologies good sir. Id say by June I should be good to go.  Sorry for the absence.  The site still rocks as it did one year ago when Mike James directed my fat ass this way.

Im headed to E3 next week for what will likely be my 1st and last time. Im stoked to be headed to L.A. to check out the Wii, the PS3 (if they have anything playable on it) and snoop around Microsofts booth in hopes of a new video or demo from Bungie. Im excited as Ill get to see some folks from the site as well as a friend of mine from high school. Itll be my first real vacation in a few years, and Ill spend the majority of it drooling over new games and gadgets. Im a geek. Such a geek. Isll be taking both my digital camera and my digital camcorder. Hope to be able to share what I see.

First and foremost, let me state clearly here at the start that this covers a depressing subject matter.  If you're interested in smelling roses and giggling like a school girl, this may not be the blog post for you.  On another day, or another week perhaps you'd be in the right spot.  Not these past few days though...

My grandmother is 85 years old.  Her husband died several years ago of cancer (though her first, she'll remind you, was taken from her in the war), and she's been a lonely woman since.  This is my mom's mother.  She writes (published) poetry, and has a small

With WoW, a 360 and several games begging to be played, Halo 2 and a wife (but not in that order, of course), you offer up blog space? WTF? This site rocks harder everey damn day, Doodi. Looking forward to the growth of the site and the community. Just need more time to write...
