Recent Games

So recently I’ve gotten back into playing my Xbox 360 a little bit after picking up Tales of Vesperia, Burnout Paradise, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker during Gamestop’s buy 2 get 1 free promotion last week.  Hopefully that’s the last of the games I’m picking up for a while because I’ve been piling them up over the past year or so.  I’m going to have to bring the Wii back up to my office to finish those games.  Anyway, I’m finding that both the Xbox 360 games are quite good (haven’t gotten to Wind Waker yet).

As for the PC, I’ve been getting back into playing Starcraft and Age of Empires III and putting Left 4 Dead (a bit angry that Valve is releasing Left 4 Dead 2 so soon) and Team Fortress 2 aside.  I’ve forgotten how fun RTS games are and am now very excited for Starcraft II.  So far we’re mostly playing against the computer and getting better very quickly.  I’m probably going to be trying out the Xfire broadcasting feature, so you might see me doing that online in the near future.

I forgot I capped this clip, but it’s from the Magic vs. Cavs series.  I’m really looking for the Magic to pull out game 2 tonight.

Hundred Push-Ups Program

So I decided to follow my brother and CheapyD with starting up this 100 push-ups program.  I think it’s a pretty neat concept and it gradually builds you up so you eventually make it to 100 after 6 weeks or so (emphasis on the “or so” ).  So far I made it to 24 on the initial exhaustion test and completed Day 1 of Week 1.  I think that’s about it for today since you’re only supposed to do what’s on the program.  Maybe they want you to do leg exercises on the side or something because only the pecs are really getting a workout.

I’m also trying out this new Twitter Tools plugin, so some sort of twitter thing should go out when this post goes up.  That should be it.  The Prison Break series finale was yesterday (R.I.P.), the Survivor finale is coming up tomorrow, and 24 ends on Monday.  After that So You Think You Can Dance is starting up on Thursday, then no more good shows after that.  Now I can shift my attention to some these Xbox 360 and Wii games for the rest of the summer when I’ve got free time (looking forward to that Starcraft II beta coming out this summer as well).
