Something Minty Fresh

I went through a certain MYST revisiting phase over the summer and ebayed all the versions and sequels and whatnot, then after it got boring (half-way through the 3rd ((3/5)) I knew I needed something new and different to steal away all my time. One Month Later. I was just perusing a few things I had rediscovered amongst my childhood belongings. Of these things, there was a journal. In this journal was an entry. Entered in that entry was a list of things I wanted for Christmas. The year was 1998. Grim Fandango had only been out a month. I remember how at the time the ‘net as we were calling it back then, was saying it was the most superior game out. You had to buy a computer from three months in the future just to run the damn thing, but I knew in my heart of hearts that one day, oh yes, it would be mine.

One bid and two weeks (plus ten years) later via the Australian post, I owned my dream for a mere $3.50 + $4.00 shipping.

And the nectar never tasted so sweet.

I know what you’re thinking, trust me, I’ve been thinking it, too: “This guy is wayyy too handsome, athletic, and attractive to be advocating such nerdiness!” Well, friends and enemies, tis a crazy world we live in and because our stay in it is so short I felt obligated to bring to your attention. Ladies and Gentlemen! I give you! The most amazing adventure computer game of our time!!

GRIM! FAN! DANGO!

Let me know if you want to play it and I’ll send you mine. Because it’s that awesome. Play this epic tale of crime and corruption that spans four years!! Click the trailer below for a peek.

Not exactly, per se, since there are bazillions of bloggers now, but if you’re not a professional celebrity gossip blog or an indie music site, then you’re nothing but an internet dinosaur; just give it up, man.  Myspace is calling your name, bro.  Facebook is trying to friend you.  Twitter just sent you a text. 

In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in dubbya dubbya 2 of the Blog era and things are looking grim because I’m too lazy to do anything about it other than complain. 

Get out of my face blogs! Uh!  I’d drop out of Myspace and Facebook, but it took me like 5 years to amass my 100 friends and I don’t want it all to go to waste. 

…I don’t know where I was going with this.  I guess I just want my friends to stop facebooking and start blogging again.  Hey guys! Get to it!

Seriously!
