Love, Hate, and Super Meat Boy
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.

The Great Game Resolution
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.

MotorOOGLE!
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.
Nothing to see here…
Hey folks,
Due to recent events at [redacted], I’ve had to take down my previous post about [redacted] because I make a reference to [redacted].
I will re-post it after [redacted] becomes a [redacted].
Thanks for reading.

Adios, Amigos.
I caught some flak this past weekend on telling some Mary Washingtonians that I erased (read: not “deactivated”) my Facebook account, and thought I’d write a blog post (outside of my usual style) on why I left. My reasons, I would say, go beyond the obvious, but I’d encourage anyone to follow suit for any reason.
