The Republic

by @ Friday, August 15th, 2003. Filed under Games, PC

GameSpot is reporting that The Republic will be released on August 29th. I’ve heard some good things about this game, and it certainly looks like it’ll be something different to play.

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy Gold

by @ Thursday, August 14th, 2003. Filed under Games, PC

Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy has gone gold. Should be out in about a month.

Greyhawk: The Temple of Elemental Evil Preview

by @ Thursday, August 14th, 2003. Filed under Games, PC, RPG

GameSpy has a preview of The Temple of Elemental Evil up today. For those who don’t know, TToEE is a classic Gary Gygax D&D module. Troika is updating it for the 3.5 ruleset. I can hardly wait to play it.

Mars Approach

by @ Wednesday, August 13th, 2003. Filed under Science

In case you haven’t heard, this month Mars will make it’s closest approach to Earth in 60,000 years on August 27th. It’s a great time to take a look at it with bionculars or, even better, a telescope.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines Preview

by @ Wednesday, August 13th, 2003. Filed under Games, PC, RPG

Eurogamer has a preview of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines up. I’m pretty excited about this game. Of course, I was excited about Redemption as well, and I never even finished the first setting for it. That game was developed by Nihilistic, this new game is being developed by Troika, they who made Fallout and [...]

The Fall of Max Payne

by @ Wednesday, August 13th, 2003. Filed under Games, PC

GameSpy has a preview up for Max Payne 2. According to them, the sequel will be just as good as the first, most likely better. It’s going to have a much deeper story, and we all know I’m a big fan of good game story..

Fox News Sues Al Franken

by @ Tuesday, August 12th, 2003. Filed under Funny

So Fox News is suing Al Franken because it has the trademark on the phrase “Fair & Balanced”. The irony itself is almost enough to kill me.

Sleeping Through the Night

by @ Monday, August 11th, 2003. Filed under Family

Mira has slept for around 6 hours straight the last 5 nights. Kate and I are, of course, thrilled about this! That’s not to say I sleep through the night yet. Being the paranoid daddy that I am, I’m up a few times in that space checking on her to make sure everything is OK. [...]

Celebration!

by @ Sunday, August 10th, 2003. Filed under Family

Xander pooped the potty tonight! We’re so proud of him. It’s been an ongoing project of ours to finish his potty training so he can go off to school in September with minimal problems. After a few weeks of working on it with him, tonight he pooped in the potty! We were so proud. He [...]

My Night with Mira

by @ Friday, August 8th, 2003. Filed under Family

I had my first night alone with Mira last night while Kate had a night out. Things went pretty well. She’s not willing to drink milk cold. So I had to warm the milk up several times to get her to drink the whole bottle. Also, as Kate has told me in the past, she [...]

Knights of the Old Republic

by @ Thursday, August 7th, 2003. Filed under Games, RPG, Xbox

Knights of the Old Republic is great! Despite the bugs. The bugs really aren’t all that bad, they are mostly minor except for the big one. It does a good job of capturing the feeling of the Star Wars universe, and it’s a great RPG to boot.

New Blog

by @ Thursday, August 7th, 2003. Filed under Personal

I’ve changed over to a new weblog using MovableType. I’ll be importing all the old stuff into it when I get a chance.
