Another month, same squid

Looks like another month went by without any posts – shame on me. It seems that with the recent cut in hours at work I have less and less to blog about. I would say less gaming things to blog about because I haven’t been gaming as much, but even my little blog for the family stuff hasn’t been updated in quite a bit either.

Life is really business as usual still. My “real” job has become less of a real job and more like a low paying consulting contract, and I am filling the cracks with whatever work I can pick up here and there. Still cranking away at GamerDNA and 360voice, it is always interesting to take a step back and look at how much GamerDNA evolves week by week. That of course is not all my doing, but I at least play a small part in it.

Still haven’t put the time I should into Fallout 3, I blame the fact that I scatter my gaming over little spurts of times these days, and I really would like to immerse myself into the game for an extended period of time and really get some where. One of these nights I will get to it. I finally completed all the Comic missions in Marvel Ultimate Alliance with gold rewards – some of them are quite a challenge so quite an achievement in my book. I made a quick appearance in the Xbox Marathon to play with the GamerDNA crew, remotely unfortunately because from what I read they had snacks at the marathon location.

I am actually really started to look forward to Halo Wars, I have my fears that there won’t be many units and it will be of a repetitive game, but I am going to give it a fair chance. I always love a good RTS, even if I am not really very good at them, also still really wondering about the Dishwasher game – that’s the only Xbox Live Arcade game I am really anxious for at the moment. Speaking of upcoming games, if I do in fact slate of some dedicated time to playing games, I might start writing some reviews again – so send review copies on over if interested in having my opinion of them published for all to see.

And now for something completely different….

Well its been ages since I have posted, I could list out the excuses but my gym teacher in high school used to always say “Excuses only satisfy those that make them”.  Perhaps a bit of a bitter view on life, but let’s be honest who really cares about the reasons?  Everyone has problems of their own in one way or another.

Lately I have been pounding pavement pretty hard on the job search front, so much so that I have even opened up my searching range to include relocation to a better part of the US.  Who knows where that will take me, or if I end up staying right where I am, perhaps I should visit a fortune teller and see.

In any event I am actually in the office today, for those of you that do not know we are working on a lowered hours schedule, which isn’t ideal – but there are a number of people in the company that are down to zero hours so it could be worse.  In any event I just had a WTF Moment, and had to post about it, so here goes.  This comes from an Access 97 – so quite a few years of band-aid fixes and development I am sure, but this one takes the cake
