Hello readers.
It was a crazy January, so I was only able to make more progress in Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas, but I also finished Super Meat Boy.
Let me tell you a little bit about Super Meat Boy. If you really enjoy dying often, you should play Super Meat Boy. It actually tracks how many times you’ve died, and I died 1,782 times playing Super Meat Boy. I also consider myself to be “beyond proficient” in platform games, so take that as you will.
Hello Sector. It’s been quite a while. Everyone has been quite busy, I’m sure, with various things over the course of the past several months.
Now that I am a little bit older and marginally less fiscally irresponsible and I’ve grown out of some of my more ADHD tendencies (as much as I know we’re all guilty of this), I find myself staring at a pretty huge pile of games that I’ve purchased over the last couple of years through one means or another that I have not finished.
Looking through Steam alone, here’s my unfinished game list:
I have to thank Kai Gray for giving me some inspiration to actually sit down and write about this.
Twitter was abuzz the other day about the recent acquisition of Motorola by Google, evoking various reactions from Sector 930 faithful, but I think the best response/reaction was summed up by Edwin: “Google just bought Motorola?”
To me, this was a line-item. I saw it on Twitter and said to myself, “well, that’s interesting,” but didn’t really think too much of it because I have an iPhone. As it turns out, Apple (and Microsoft) have more to do with Google’s deal than meets the eye.
While most of the readers of this blog won’t care about this, Charlie and I got to meet one of our heroes last Saturday. In doing so, we got to hang out with one of the greatest group of people we’ve ever met. On Saturday, Adam Curry from the No Agenda podcast came into town to kick off his Hot Pockets 2008 tour across America.
When I heard on the show that Adam and Micky would be starting in Fredericksburg, I almost ran off the road. The tour is starting in MY town? Holy crap! I told friends, family, and coworkers as soon as I could. NO AGENDA IS COMING TO FREDERICKSBURG!
Another year goes by, and so does another Steam summer sale. And so does another post about another Steam sale. Today is the last day, and this year felt like a disappointment because (a) the games that were on sale were mostly the same games that went on sale throughout the rest of the year and (b) I bought a lot of the games I wanted when they went on sale earlier. There were, of course, a ton of games marked down 33% the whole time, but I didn’t go for any of them.
Here is my haul.
