Hello friends of 2o2p!

I was working on doing a regular writing series on 2o2p called "What Were They Smoking?!" that was going to be a monthly look at some of the crazy games out there that were released the month prior. For some reason this writing gem doesn't appear to be published (again!). I blame the terrorists.

So here you go.. I really hope you enjoy it. And if you don't, pretend to like it and be my friend.

Life outside of 2o2p has been very hectic, but definitely good. I have been training for a triathlon! I am 6 weeks into it and it has been going really well. Swimming has been my weakest event, but definitely improving. Cycling is my strongest event, but have definitely seen that I still have a lot of improving to do. 

I have lost 10 pounds so far and counting. I physically feel the best I have in years. Still have a long way to go. For anyone interested in doing a triathlon, absolutely go for it. It's hard work, but it's paying off.

Hello 2o2p'ers!

I've finally put my foot down and decided to start blogging more. I have made this comment more times than I'd like to admit, but I mean it this time!!! (my subconscious is saying "suuuuure ya are!").

Thought I'd share some upcoming things along the wire. The biggie- I somehow got invited to play in the closed beta of Diablo III. I am super psyched about this! I'm planning on publishing a "review" when I get enough play time in. Meanwhile, I'll be posting in the RPG forums about my observations in the game. I'll also answer any questions that you may have.

Well, it's been a few weeks as a staff writer for 2old2play. So far it has been really busy, but been quite a bit of fun. Thanks to everyone for reading and the comments. I know I'm still working on developing my "voice". I've tried to make my articles informative and entertaining. 

For those reading, as writer for 2old2play, we ultimately do this for the community. Any input you give is helpful. Anything you want us to write about or game to review, please let us know. I love 2old2play and want us to be successful for you. 

Until next time....

The review for SSX is finally up on the site... check it out. With the help of a fellow writer anotherdae, we tried a different approach to the typical review. Hope you enjoy!

Also, don't miss out on the chance to win an actual copy of the game, so go check it out!

V3 is here!! Woohoo. 

I just want to take a second and thank all of those that have been working their behinds off on this. Obviously it didn't work as expected... that stuff happens. I know they've been stressed and have probably felt it from the ribbing that we gave 'em. I just wanted to express my HUGE gratitude to the guys (and gals) behind the scenes that made it all happen. You have my extreme thanks!

No, it's not perfect, but it'll all get worked out.  

The weekend started off pretty good. Ran a 5k in Blacksburg with Kasey. There were 400 participants... HUGE race. This was my first 5k of the season and it definitely showed... ran it in 36:01. It was a bit better than my first one last year, so that is a good thing. Unfortunately after all was said and done, I ended the day with a pretty sore throat. It's now moved into my head and this bug is winning despite my constant attacks with Ny-Quill and Tylenol Cold and Sinus. I have a mini-vacation starting friday so hoping I feel better by then.

It's been pretty fun so far. I've enjoyed being part of the team, even if I only written one article so far. There's lot of great opinions out there. Expect to see a LOT more reviews of games and content. For those that read my blog, please feel free to contact me if there's something you'd like to see. If there's something you see too much or too little of, feel free to voice that as well. The staff really wants to provide, and this content is for you to enjoy, so there's no reason why you should be left in the dark and not share your thoughts.

Kasey and I went to see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Apparently it's a movie that was based on a book. She wanted to see it because she's a big fan of the Academy Awards and Gary Oldman was nominated in the lead role. This has got to be one of the most uninteresting, self-indulgent, dry movies I have seen in a loooooong time. This movie got an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes... once again why I feel that %'s don't mean a thing when it comes to ratings. What was the movie about? I was kind of hoping you could tell me, because I have no freaking idea.

Hello fellow 2o2p'ers!

I am one of the new members of the 2old2play writing team. I am really happy and excited to be part of this new great team. We had a meeting last week, and I can tell you that this is an awesome group of people that are very excited on taking 2old2play to another level.
