I’ve decided to hold off on the Wii-ing until I beat FF12.

To Wii or not to Wii…

So I’m sitting on my chair watching Prison Break and sadly I think it’s one of the few things I have done since Friday night besides playing Final Fantasy 12. The game is crack. I don’t think I’ve ever been this addicted to a game though World of Warcraft came close. I’m about 30 hours […]

My PS2 broke last night, again, except this time I have a Best Buy replacement plan (thanks to my parents) where I thought it would be simple to get a replacement. Unfortunately I had to jump through several hoops and now I’ll have to mail the unit to the replacement center before they can issue […]

The Wii is coming out on The Day of Henry!

I finally broke down and bought music off of iTunes. I’m not saying that I support their distribution model, I hate hate hate DRM, but I’m weak when it comes to good music. The song that finally broke me was Michael Stipe’s (of REM) cover of the Joseph Arthur’s song In the Sun. Damn you […]

After playing a 5 player free-for-all last night, I’ve come to realize/admit that I’m completely hooked. I even went to Walmart after work today in search of the fabled Pirates of the Revolution holiday pack that a certain ninja told me about but after half an hour of hunting I was unable to secure my […]

Chris Taylor is the god of computer games, fuck Blizzard, Gas Power Games all the way. Trust me by looking at this, you’ll pee in your pants.

My precious has finally loosened its hold on me so I’ve been able to play some of the other games that I have missed out on during my crack induced haze. Today I fired up Brothers in Arms and was greeted with an awesome quote about 1.5 hours into the game.

Superman doesn’t even have […]

It’s always pretty kickass when the Yankees are in town but it’s a shame to see them lose twice especially when I’m there at two of the games. At least my fantasy team has been doing pretty well despite my no Red Sox and no player on any team the Yankees are playing policy. It’s […]

I walked out of work today and it was amazing out. On the drive home I got inspired to take a quick jog which I did. After the jog all I wanted to do was relax with a beer and some quality WoW before Scrubs and the Office but somehow Blizzard has managed to make […]

Well I had probably 75% of a post down before my computer decided to randomlly crash, apparently it can’t handle buring a dvd, ripping a dvd to my hard drive, listening to mp3’s, chatting on aim, and WoW at the same time. Now I’m going to try to reconstruct the last post…
So most of the […]

The fucking solder didn’t fix everything, the fan worked fine for a while before it started making the fucked up sound again. But it did work long enough for me to download and apply the new WoW patch only to have it corrupt the files again. God mother fucking damnit Blizzard. I sent you guys […]

Here are two links to show the world how big of a loser I am. Everyone go check out Lobsterdog and Gir. I have a couple more characters but these two are my main ones. Look for permalinks soonish.

And the state of the servers are even worse today in the land of World of Warcraft. So now I don’t have much to do until I head home to Jersey at midnight. If you’re wondering why I’m waiting until midnight all you have to do is leave around 6PM and I think there’s […]

So Blizzard fucked up the launch of WoW. How about a 27 minute queue for me to wait before I can log onto the server they recommended for me to create a character on. I need to hit the higher level’s so I can check if the 100% crash bug that can only be fixed […]

I went to the State Farm office right by work to sign up for cheaper insurance in MD. I love the fact that I can still qualify for a good student discount even though I already graduated. So now instead of over $2.3k/year I pay 1.8k/year. The State Farm girl was actually pretty cute and […]

I’ve finally beat Halo 2, so I now feel qualified to share my thoughts of the game. I’ll keep this spoiler free for those of you who haven’t beaten it yet. Since everyone and their moms are singing praise about this great game I’m going to try to point out the two things about the […]

Tomorrow is a pretty important day at work for me because I have a 3 hour audit/interview thing where they’re going to quiz me on a bunch of stuff but instead of studying for it, I’ve been playing Lord of the Rings: The Third Age and World of Warcraft nonstop. Everyone knows how I feel […]

Now that I’m in the closed Beta, look for more updates about the game and my character(s).
Current Status
Troll Hunter - Level 6 on the PvP server

Closed beta bitch!

The party rocked but I’m never going to drink again. Way too much beer pong/fuck the dealer/random beer goodness. I actually wanted to take pictures of this party but I forgot about it once people started showing up and the mayhem started. Tara rocks for cleaning the place up this morning while I was still […]

Go here and check it out

I’ve really been slacking with the updates since work has started. The problem is I’m starting to get into a rut and I’m too tired to do anything productive after work. I’ll need to find something to do to break this daily grind before I lose my mind. In the mean time here’s another quick […]

I have all the past entries fixed but I’m still working on the layout of the site. What you see right now was a failed attempt at an idea I had so look for another 3 column design soonish. Went sofa shopping today but didn’t really see anything I like more then the ones I […]

I went to Edo to pickup dinner but they were late in making it so I decided to kill some time by going to the EB next door. I wanted to pick up either City of Heros or Final Fantasy 11 but both of those were $50 each plus a monthly fee. Instead I got […]

I forgot to mention that the World of Warcraft beta is now live but the bastards at blizzard didn’t pick me.

Ninja Gaiden is fucking hard. Besides that the camera system needs some work and there could be more save points, especially right before boss fights, but overall it’s a pretty badass game.

Today started out a typical day with some homework and video games. I cracked into Fire Emblem last night and so far I really like it but the permanent death system for story non-essential characters is driving me crazy. After some fumbling around the apartment, I went to Giant to go sale shopping. I figured […]

Well almost, only if I get in.

Now that I’ve started to get sick of Diablo 2 again, I’ve fired up Prince of Persia for the X-Box. I was a big fan of the original on the PC and was greatly disappointed by P.O.P. 3D so I was skeptical of the latest incarnation despite the glowing reviews I’ve seen. I can’t give […]

Maybe I’ll take the spring semester off…

Spent the majority of the day today wasting away at Diablo 2. Managed to get my amazon up to lvl 30 at noonish and I’ve been flying through the game now that I have Lightning Fury and Titan’s Revenge. I finished watching Felicity season one today but got pissed off at the last episode cause […]

Well I think I lost my Frozen Throne CD somewhere in my mess of CD’s and DVD’s. I had originally thought I brought it home with me since I wanted to put a new version of Tower Defense up but it turns out I only brought the case home with me. When I got back […]

While we were muling today, Seena made a good point about the game that has sucked countless hours out of our lives. “I hate this game but it’s precious to me.” Sound familiar? So I think Blizzard somehow got their hands on the melted One Ring and sprinkled a tiny fragment of it onto each […]

Amped 2 has to be the greatest snowboarding game ever made. What other snowboarding game out there would let you customize your own snowboarder so that you get a really hot chick in a bikini doing 360’s and back flips. Besides the ability to customize your own character, the game play and mechanics have been […]

The four day weekend is coming to a end. I’ll miss Isabel and her contribution to my video game time. But I actually spent the majority of today working on the graphics project. It was painful at first getting used to writing C++ and the new g++ compiler that they installed on GL but after […]

So Isabel has moved on but shes not gone from out hearts. After all we have to thank her for this awesome 4-day weekend where can all sit around, drink beer, and play video games. I’ve started playing Dynasty Warriors 4 yesterday and continued playing it for about 2 hours. This makes it the third […]

First off, Squaresoft needs to release a patch for FF7 to run on Win XP cause I’m sick of having my computer crash in the middle of the game. Besides that tomorrow is the first day of classes… yup one year left until I graduate. Of course I’m only going to be taking a year […]

So I’ve recently discovered that since the big patch in Galaxies, droids are now perma death. For those of you who don’t know what that means, instead of respawning droids now die for good when they get killed. So now I’m going to have to get droids like I get hookers; either two at a […]

Yesterday was just one of those crazy days. First I get in to work and it’s just one of those days that seemed like it would never end. Every second was a struggle to keep my eyes open. But a few hours later the power goes out and I get sent home. Can’t exactly play […]

One of these days I’ll take the time to think of real titles for my updates and real categories to put them in but in the mean time “The OC” and “Random” is the best I can do. Speaking of The OC, the show’s starting to grow on me. There are plenty of things wrong […]

If I could only do this with some of the games I’ve tested/am testing.

After spending 8+ hours on the game, I discovered today that there is no way I can beat it because I missed an item. The in game hint system failed to tell me that I needed to pickup the wavebuster which is needed to defeat this invisible guy who’s guarding the powerbomb. So after finding […]

I’ve been playing Galaxies pretty much non-stop for the past couple of days. Quality game despite all the bugs. I got up to Bio-Engineer but found out that the class sucks since I can make creatures but I can’t control them. Not to mention Creature Handlers can tame creatures much stronger then the Bio-Engineered ones. […]

I finally got Star Wars Galaxies and it’s been taking up most of my time. The game lacks polish and could use another month or so of beta testing. Despite the fact that it isn’t ready to be launched, it’s still a fun game. It’s pretty badass to check out Jabba’s Palace and to kill […]

Well an hour later Nick and I finally beat it!!!
Watch the replay this will only work for those of you with War3 and the expansion.

Well it’s about time I update my website again. I’m not paying a monthly fee to host LobsterDog to let it sit around and accumulate dust. Nothing really important going on here. The typical cycle of search for a job, find a job, get the job but its too far away, rinse and repeat. I’ve […]
