I was in Dallas the last two days for some meetings.
As it has become the norm, when I travel I tend to lose sight of things like blog posting and calling friends and family. I think it is something to do with being out of my normal routine.
I need to make a more conscious effort to keep in touch with people. I tend to gravitate towards being a loner, I think in high school my time spent with my anti-social friends ingrained in me the idea that I don't NEED to talk to people. I classify us as anti-social, in that we hung out with one another, rarely interacted with other groups and often excluded one another from time to time in activities.
I think that this coming year I will make some "New Year Resolutions" (a tradition for some, but not for me).
One of the things that I think is going to be a resolution is that my pc gaming habits are probably going to die off. My current rig is a fine PC, it plays BF2142 just fine along with World of Warcraft. However, I recently purchased Star Trek: Legacy and my PC can barely run the game in a playable fashion.
I think I might finally take the plunge into console gaming. I am going to use x-mas money to buy myself a XBOX-360. Jeremy has had his for about 4 months and really likes it. I miss playing against Jeremy and a few other friends online in co-op or deathmatch modes.
I have usually avoided console gaming in favor of pc gaming. Not sure of the exact reasons, but mostly because the types of games that I liked were usually only good on the PC. That isn't the case these days, for the most part the same types of games are better on consoles (not always though).
Regardless, I need to get out of the house more too. So I think getting away from my +8 hours long strategy games on the PC might be a good change. I have sworn off MMORPG, at least until I retire. They just eat up way too much time. If a really cool one comes out I might try it out, just so that I can comment on how it plays or what not. But I won't be planning to make it my life.
I think I will do a longer post about the other resolutions and changes I want to make.
Back to the grind.
Laterz.
