Welcome to a new year.  I’m kinda glad 2011 is over. For me, it ended with a nasty cold that made me lose two days of work.  I’m looking forward to being healthy!

Ace came to visit for the weekend.  We’ve been playing alot of Fallout: New Vegas.  Its really finally gotten me back into the gaming mood.  Yay!!!

We went over to Jess & Derek’s to party for New Years.  We taught Ace how to play Cribbage, which was QUITE entertaining.

I don’t really have any New Years Resolutions…  They never work out for me anyways.  I guess the best I can come up with is I want to start playing video games again.  And after the last day of watching Ace play Fallout: New Vegas, I’ve decided to start my new gaming adventure with Fallout 3

OK, its late, I should go pass out.  Happy New Year everyone!

Curses.  Foiled again.  I attempt to sit down, install Skyrim, and try it out.  Bur first, I run updates, as I haven’t used Windows on my iMac in months.  It would appear that I have killed Windows.  Well, more like brutally murdered.  It won’t boot. I can’t get it to do SHIT.  Now I have to reinstall Windows.  I hate this process.

I actually had a craving to play some SimCity 4 tonight, and guess what?  Its a PowerPC App.  Which are no longer supported under 10.7.  I’m slightly irritated right now, and half-contemplating a system downgrade.

Eric and I have come to a conclusion.  We ALWAYS loose against the Protoss/Zerg combo.  We’ve decided to revisit our strategy, and we’re going to attempt Protoss/Zerg.  We’ve tried it a few times, but never did too well.  Tonight we played against some really good players, and saved the game, so we can review it

After the game, I looked up the two guys we played.  They were both top ranked in the Silver League!  Blew our minds that we were even playing them… We’ve been struggling to stay at the top in the Bronze League for ever now.  Turns out, the two had just started playing together, and were doing their placement matches.  Thats just not right..  They should be playing other Silver League players for their placement, not us!  They’re just too much better at the silly game.

I tried out the new Back to the Future game today, and let me tell you, it was pretty kewl!!  Has very cartoony graphics, but they work And Christopher Lloyd does the voice of Doc!   It’s got a weird setup, which took awhile to get used to.  Its unlike just about any other game I’ve ever played, but looks like so much fun!  It picks up 6 months after the last movie, when the Delorean just shows up with a recorded message from Doc. He’s stuck back in Prohibition Times!  It looks like a really great game

Tried some 4v4 games tonight with Sparky and Eric’s neighbor Jason.  Didn’t do so hot…  Don’t think we’re all quite ready for that yet.

Afterwards, Eric and I went back to modifying our tactics for 2v2 yet again.  After much failure (we’re getting used to it), we think we’ve come across yet another promising tactic.  If it works out, maybe I’ll write about it.  I don’t wanna jinx it this time.

Got a 5 win streak tonite!  Eric and I are kicking ass together at this game.  We’ve finally got a great tactic, and it seems to be working immaculately!  Something is going right for once.  Hooray!!

So sick of playing StarCraft 2 by myself.  Its virtually impossible, unless you play as a complete dick.  I prefer playing 2v2 with Eric… much more fun.  Just got my ass handed to me twice by complete douchebags using evil friggen tactics.  Stupid game…..
