games and finals

Published: 15 December 2008
I’ve been playing American McGee’s Alice recently and seeing all the environments and their beautifully detailed textures again, especially with my new video card, has made me want them as wallpaper and flooring in The Sims 2. I remember for the original Sims game, I found a huge collection of Alice walls and floors [...]

Zelda, work, and school

Published: 29 June 2008
I’m hanging out at Todd’s parents’ house, where I’ve been since Friday. I took a three-day weekend this week to spend more time with Todd, since he’s leaving for an eleven-day trip to Ireland this weekend. He and Brent are going just for a vacation, and I’m so jealous because they’re going to [...]

Nintendo DS Lite

Published: 25 June 2008
Just a short note to say that I bought a Nintendo DS Lite on Monday and have been enjoying the heck out of it since. I’ve bought two games so far: Mario and Luigi Partners in Time, and Super Princess Peach. Partners in Time has been my favorite because it’s like the [...]

I beat the Amazee Dayzee!

Published: 8 April 2008
In Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64, which I’ve been playing on my Wii, there’s this creature called an Amazee Dayzee. It’s dead tricky to beat because it has 20 Heart Points, which isn’t much, but it usually runs away as soon as it gets the chance. I’ve been trying to beat the [...]

my slugification

Published: 22 December 2007
I’ve been doing nothing but sleeping, eating, and playing different video games so far during my winter break, and it’s fabulous. I feel like such a slug! I get up a little before noon, eat a bit while playing the Sims, go visit my dad out at my brother’s house construction site, come [...]

SVU and Mario

Published: 10 December 2007
I just watched the best episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit ever! Or should I say, “evar!!!1″. It was the new one, ‘Paternity’, and so as not to ruin any surprises for those of you who watch the show, I’ll just hint at its goings-ons: Jaws of Life, baby, and [...]

Paper Mario and Ruby programming

Published: 29 November 2007
So I’m obviously not doing NaBloPoMo since I haven’t posted anything in about a week, but I do have kind of an excuse: I’ve been doing homework and saving Princess Peach, or trying to. I’ve got a calculus test tomorrow and I’ve been working like mad on my databases project, which is coming [...]

finals and Mario

Published: 19 November 2007
I’m starting to feel the stress of encroaching finals, so that any time I’m relaxing in front of the TV or idly surfing the ‘net, I have in the back of my mind a worry that I should be doing something productive. I think all my classes this semester have finals, which is new [...]

Paper Mario

Published: 7 October 2007
5 / 5 stars By Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 This was an incredibly fun game for me. You play as Mario, that lovable Italian plumber, and you have to rescue Princess Peach, whom Bowser has kidnapped away to his castle in the sky. In order to do so, you have to recover the stolen [...]

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door

Published: 7 October 2007
3.5 / 5 stars By Nintendo for the GameCube This is the second game in the Paper Mario series and, while not as good as the first, it’s still an excellent game. It’s very akin to the first Paper Mario in that its fights are turn-based, so they rely on your strategical skills as opposed to [...]
