Almost Famous

No matter how bad things seem,

No matter how down things have got you,

If you toss in a good tune, some air drums, and sing along to the song...

...NOTHING can keep you down.

That's what this video clip makes me feel like.

Warning!

Alone in the Dark is probably the worst game to date I have played on the 360. (Worse than Iron Man!) The controls are the worst I have seen, they really makes the game un-playable. I thought it would be better to switch to third person view and I almost threw up from the random zooming in and out and awful camera angles. (There is no camera control) Graphics are nice and the fire effects are very realistic and I really liked the impressives physics, but I couldnt hang any more with the awful controls. After 15 minutes of playing I felt like I was drunk.

CrossFit Camp Pendleton

Thought I would share a montage video one of my Marines made of the CrossFit Camp Pendleton crew.

If you are interested at all about this amazing elite physical fitness program check out www.crossfit.com.

(Easter Egg: Pay attention at the 1:42 mark for yours truly)

A good start...

At least I get to blog in the AM for a change! That's my silver lining of the cloud rolling around this morning. I went with the Pirate Queen to a friends wedding and reception yesterday evening. I gave her my wallet and keys to hold in her purse for the duration.

Comic-Con, Indiana Jones, and June Gaming.

    I just registered for this years comic-con in San Diego. Should be a great con this year. I am also taking my daughter, who just turned 13, for her first comic-con experience. I know she isnt into comics and related arenas but, if anything, she will get a kick out of all the costumes, art displays, and art related vendors. She loves to draw and design things. Plus this provides me an epic chance to further raise the bar on how much I can embarrass the hell out of her. This will be a great weekend. Too bad I have to wait until July 27th!

SoCal LAN!

Super excited about this. I had to bail out of last years So-Cal LAN due to a last minute family emergency. I also am unable to attend this years Chi-LAN in Aug due to the fact I am getting married.  So it looks like finally I will be able to do the face to face with quite a few of you in June.  I have a sinking feeling in my gut that Mission Viejo is never going to be the same again! 

I think this video sums up my excitement:
