It's 3AM and I am at work.  I have been pretty much out of it most of the shift.  Everything is annoying me and I am sick of working on this animation project for school.  I think I went too big and now I think it sucks.  I am contemplating redoing the characters in a much simpler manner.  I am really am really struggling with using the bone system in 3D Max.  I can set them up and pose them.  I am having trouble with making them move fluidly.  No matter what I do with the key frames they seem to be just a little off.  I was hoping to do just touch ups for the last week of the term but this pr

I was at the game store today and got my hands on a Wii Wheel for preparation for the great Mario Kart marathon at my place Saturday night and I have to say that I am impressed.  It is sturdy and feels like a steering wheel should.  There is some weight to it and the extended button on the back is very responsive.  I was concerned about this after that craptastic gun thing Nintendo forced down our throats.  All of my fears are gone....GAME ON!!!! While at the game store I was able to procure a Wii for the in-laws.  They are very excited.

Well the results are in and I am officially bi polar.  I am sure how to handle the whole thing but after reading up on it I can say that it certainly fits.  I am on a mood stabilizer and will continue my therapy.  Like I said before, I am still trying to get my head around this.  I found this out on Thursday and it took me until now to actually blog it.  There are a great deal of things that I have to wrap my head around all of aspects that are affected by this.

I know it is not like last week early but I got the show a day early and that is exciting since this is a game that I have been waiting for.  Just thought I would share.  I am going to play it now.

Now that I have had the PS3 for a week, I would like to put some thoughts out there.  I really like the PS3 interface.  It is not as friendly as the blades on the 360 but I am used to since I have been using a PSP since the start of December.  I was able to download two games off of the PSN (Calling All Cars and flOw).  I really like the look and feel of those games.  I think this is one area where PS3 will pass 360 in the long run.  The only thing the 360 has is this department is quantity.  I am not a fan of the actual downloading of items from PSN.  It takes way too long.  Everything you do

I have been a proud Wii60 owner since the day before the Wii came out (I got a job at a Game Crazy for a few months for that perk).  But now I am a PSWii60 owner and I must say it feels good but not in an overwhelming way.  I currently have Resistance and Burnout.  I also downloaded flOw and Calling All Cars.  While I like what I see in the PS3, everything that I want is yet to come.  I can't wait for MLB08, Home, and Little Big Planet.  The real question will be finding out if the Sony version of achievements for Home will drive me to buy PS3 first rather than 360 first.  The other thing that

Since this is the day after some crazy things, I found myself doing something crazy.  I purged my game collection and got a PS3 on store credit.  If there is one thing that makes a gamer happy no matter what, it is a new console.  I got Burnout and MLB 07 used.  I got MLB to get ready for the new coming out soon with my boy Ryan Howard on the cover.  I am not sure why I did it but with the likes of Little Big Planet, MLB 08, and some others coming, I felt is was time to get the last next gen piece to my puzzle.  I am still a 360 guy but this is a nice change of pace.  I did something crazy but
