This is a list of archived entries published in January 2007.
I’ve often declared my life’s goal to make every day feel like Saturday morning. If there’s anything that makes me regret the linear direction of space-time and ache for the past as all mortals do, it’s that I can never truly recapture what it feels like to be a young kid on a Saturday morning.

Bill Simmons spends the whole of his most recent column praising Miami and the NFL’s return to sunny, fun destinations for the players (and sports writers) of Super Bowl week. I think he’s officially lost whatever remaining shreds of street cred might have been lingering on his person. He’s still a great read as always, [...]
So along with Gears of War, I also got Madden 2007 for Christmas. I’ve come to appreciate football—or any sport in general—only recently, and it’s arguable that my fondness for football stemmed largely from hopping on the Patriots bandwagon over the last seven years (hey, at least I’m a native New Englander).

Well, looks like I didn’t get into the Halo 3 multiplayer beta. I have no idea what their selection criteria was, but given how many hundreds of thousands of people signed up (and that I have hardly any hours logged on Halo 2 multiplayer), I suppose it’s not that surprising.

I followed up Doom with many of the other great FPS games—Quake, [...]
The beginning of the semester is the busiest time at work, so apologies for not getting a new post up here sooner.
As mentioned in my long-ago last post, I’m working on a review of the Xbox 360 game Gears of War. I should be able to get that up over the weekend. Speaking of which, [...]
Okay, so there’s a lot of ground to cover since my last post…Christmas in LA, my birthday, and a brief review of the game Gears of War, for starters. But I’ll try to spread those out over the next couple of weeks. To tide you over, here’s a New Year’s questionnaire I shamelessly stole from [...]
