Happy New Year. We spent many days at the Beach with my sister. It was good seeing her bump. I really had a good holiday this year, it was heartwarming and refreshing. Cinnamon buns, family/friends and time away from tech/media.

Getting back to tech/media (doh), I fired up Borderlands finally and it’s a blast. It’s got a lot of ‘tude and style for sure. An outside Bioshock really. I was inspired to play it after watching a quicklook on Giant Bomb. A quick word about Giant Bomb, it’s Jeff from Gamespot’s new gig. I mean, he co-founded it. It’s a good site that I mostly agree with (although I don’t agree with everything they recommend). It’s got a fresh take on reviews and it’s currently my go-to site for game news/reviews. They have a podcast I listen to a lot and they have lots of good footage and explanations in the quicklooks. The quick looks to me are very organic “show me” intros to a game. Their explanations of Magna Carta 2 and Shattered Memories (just to name two) were uncommercial and humorous.

Resolutions were thrown around and I was not one of the throwees. I’m sticking to my plan. I quit WoW again (although I really wanted to kill Arthas once) and I’m sticking to my gym plan. Holidays were great but now it’s back to figuring out hard shit at work and today is chest/arms workout. *fist pump*
