The Elder Scrolls: Legends Beta is here!
It's been so long since I wanted to play this.

Got some video game admiration from my daughter. My kids have been playing Rabbids Go Home on the Wii, and when the going gets hard they call me for help. I did one segment and my daughter exclaimed: 'How did you do that? It took you only a second!' Made my day. In a year or two they'd be looking down on my skillz.

Enjoy being the gaming guru while it lasts. Soon you'll be derided for being unable to play their games. Heh, I remember picking on my mother because the extra buttons on the SNES controller were to many for her, and she could only play NES mario (and even then, not all that well.)

On topic: Last night was the first night in about a week where I actually slept well. So I'm immediately off to a good start for that. So nice to not wake up constantly and then be unable to fall back to sleep.

Just was at the gym for the first time in six years. I'm dying. In a good way.

Game achievement, kind of and so very hard, too... It took me more than three hours straight in a row! In Warriors Orochi Z, in Samurai story, the *dreaded* battle of Sekigahara itself! Damn, what a pain! Nobunaga Oda and Miyamoto Musashi (kept the shu warrior too), fully maxed, 99 level, with final tier weapons obtained from chaos mode fully upgraded themselves too and i couldn't meet the requirements to get the hidden treasure! Having to conquer the canon bases in 3 minutes time was a very nasty endeavor, it almost drove me mad! But now i got an endgame treasure and soon, i will be able to forge me the ALLMIGHTY weapon upgrade! Can't wait! This time, i also found a guide for the dream mode stages, so i am going to thoroughly beat the game 100% inside out and unlock the ultra secret final boss as a player! Last time, i abandoned it because this was impossible, without a guide in English...

Sigh... Too bad Warriors Orochi 3 didn't get a pc release, i would love to play as Joan of Arc, Susanoo and Achilles! But never mind, the Berserk Koei warriors game will have a pc release!!!

Went to a concert for an orchestra I usually play in, but I didn't play in this summer. It was a good concert, and I got a chance to talk to some of my friends in that group.

Might I ask what instrument you play?

I'm guessing it's a wind instrument, something you use your lips with and blow.

How large is the orchestra? I have always been envious of those with access to the arts.

In that particular group, I play the clarinet.

I also play the bassoon, and I actually have a concert for a different group coming up.

This particular orchestra has about 130 members, far more than any of the other groups I play in.

It is worth noting that this particular orchestra does not limit the size of the wind sections; it's not unusual to have more than a half dozen each of flutes and clarinets. The only requirements are that you pay the fee and to not be so horrible that you would hurt the group; some of the members have just picked up their instrument again after 20+ years of not playing.

If you can play a suitable musical instrument but haven't, I would suggest looking for a community band or orchestra in your area; they exist for all skill levels.

In university, I spent several years in the marching band and the performance I always looked forward to the most was always the last: a quick show at the very end of the highschool marching band competition at the state level. It was too cold to get out a single note but we were gods.

Removed a ton of bloatware from my win7 laptop, which I should've done long ago :P But I still have to figure out how to control what winds up running at startup. There are several programs that get run at startup that are not under startup programs in msconfig.

Browsing the ASMC store reminds me how I felt when I was a kid walking in a candy store, I wanna try and buy everything ^o^

EDIT: kinda like what DealExtreme is for fans of electronics and gadgets :o)
