Poetry Portfolio

So I realized I haven't really posted too much of my actual writing on this blog yet and thought that I'd randomly choose tonight to do so (that way I also keep it from going another week without a post). Just a quick little update and brief overview before I get to copying and pasting below.

Firstly, I finally completely beat Kirby's Epic Yarn (100% completion... w00t) and I have to say that it is quite fantastic. I have fallen in love with the soundtrack and spent a large amount of time trying to find it to put on my iPod yesterday.

Lazy Sunday

Yikes, it's been over a week since I posted anything. I definitely apologize for that. To be honest I haven't really been on my computer much lately - other than to write papers and such for classes of course. I think most of my computer time has morphed into Netflix and gaming time. Which is a good segue into what I've been watching and playing I suppose.

Black Ops Declassified - Treyarch Actually Did It!

Early Concept Art for Treyarch's Latest

Following up on my previous blog post "I Hear the Call" I have to say it's official: Treyarch has finally grown up into a legitimately awesome video game developer. I've put a solid 12 hours or so into Black Ops already and I have to say that they did a fantastic job at both balancing and reinvigorating an already superb multiplayer experience. Modern Warfare 2 was and is still a great game but it faltered in many ways as I believe I mentioned previously. This missteps seem to have been carefully analyzed and repaired in almost every way in Black Ops. Maybe I'm just still caught up in the hype, but the amount of content - the ridiculously customizable options, numerous stats/charts/ratios, and sheer amount of weaponry - have blown me away. Most important of all though - its actually fun.
