The game is very good and a typical Bioware experience, and the combat itself is the best they've done since Baldur's Gate 2. I loved Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic and even strongly ... http://www.reidwise.net/journal/2009/11/17/dragon-age-origins/ I guess you might know if you visited this site and looked at the fllickr gallery plugin. But why would you visit this site? I haven't posted in a while. I'm a bad monkey. Anyway, wanted to record that... we have a puppy. His name is Pippin. ... http://www.reidwise.net/journal/2009/11/13/new-addition/ What kind of a world do we live in where a man dressed up as a BAT.... steals all my press? This is easily the game of the year thus far for me. The campaign mode is a pitch perfect 10-15 hour experience, which I greatly prefer over 40 hours ... http://www.reidwise.net/journal/2009/09/28/batman-arkham-asylum/ Some football thoughts: 1) I hate to say this, but the most overrated team in college football right now is LSU.

I mean, you have to see red to see where you are supposed to go. The game makes its own metaphors. ... http://www.reidwise.net/journal/2009/09/25/mirrors-edge/ Yes, that's right. I do. To some of you this will come as a SHOCK. (Actually, some of you are sick of hearing it). I recently upgraded to an HTC Fuze and I really do think it's the bee's knees, baby.

As I'm getting starting, I'm talking with those in the audience. It's a small group, maybe ten people, and of those ten, TWO of them were from Louisiana. Backstory: I grew up in Louisiana. What an odd ... http://www.reidwise.net/journal/2009/07/02/presenting-confusion/ I thought the Philadelphia Half Marathon was in September for some reason. I think I got it confused with the Philly Distance Run. I was so certain I was registered for something in September that I thought... "Maybe I did register for the distance run." Luckily, gmail saves everything, ... http://www.reidwise.net/journal/2009/06/25/miscomunicado/ Coworker: "So I was once on this flight to Puerto Rico. They made multiple announcements making sure everyone was on the right flight before we took off. They even walked through the cabin, checking on people. They obviously thought something was wrong, but no one spoke ... http://www.reidwise.net/journal/2009/06/23/i-flew-in-last-night-and-boy-are-my-arms-tired/
