YES! It's Halloween...

By FAR and away my favorite holiday of the season, Halloween is upon us. It's the single day when scaring the living crap out of those annoying anklebiters of the neighborhood is not only permitted, but condoned and even encouraged. I don't care if you need to bribe them to the house with a plethora (there's that word again...) of sugar wrapped goodness...it's well worth it. My record of kids who failed to make the front door is 16 in 2003.

Assassin's Creed goes GOLD!

After nearly four years in development, several delays, and what many claim to be the least-kept secret in gaming industry lately (some "twist" with the story - fortunately I've kept myself in the dark on it), another game joins the upcoming holiday push of AAA titles due to release. Assassin's Creed has gone gold. Why do I care? Well, check out this video with commentary from producer Jade Raymond, highlighting some of the game and you'll see...

I'm in trouble...

Right before I get to the office - I'm talking a quarter mile away from our front door - there is a fairly significant merchant village, with a plethora ("Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is. I would not like to think that a person would tell someone he has a plethora, and then find out that that person has *no idea* what it means to have a plethora.") of small stores, a Westin hotel, and several relatively up-scale restaurants.

Back to the grindstone...

Well, it was bound to happen eventually.  At some point in time, the short term medical disability would run its course, and I would have to do the dreaded task - return to work.  Two weeks to the day of the surgery, I got the doctor's OK to return to the office, and start earning the paycheck once again.  This comes with both a bit of sadness and relief as you'd expect.

"Monsters be good...!!!"

That statement now has a new meaning to me, and has been permanently been burned into my subconscious after last night. The reason for that is I must have heard it 500 times over the course of 45 or so minutes. Why you’d ask? Well, last night came time to inaugurate our children into the realm of haunted houses with Halloween right around the corner. And in typical fashion, I don’t do anything half-assed, so we took them to one of the top-10 (per the Travel Channel) haunted houses in America, Terror Behind The Walls as the Eastern State Penit
