So me and Sean are actually working on a bonafide project. Something that will actually see the light of day. I’m not sure how much we can say about it just yet, but it should be known that something very interesting and fun is on the horizon and I think you all (my imaginary audience) will like it.
Winnie got me thinking about high school. She was talking about how she missed it. It reminded me of all the people I lost touch with. Phil, Sean, Chad and myself, we had the “honor” of going to HS together. I air quote it, but it was really a great time. My self and Chad being in the Jazz band, which I still have the cd’s of, especially good times. Anyway, thanks to Winnie, I’ve looked up some other friends I may have lost touch with. The girl that in 9th grade I unknowingly helped steal liquor from the Rite Aid near our house, the guys who weren’t Sean that used to hang out in “The Corner” and talked about comics and video games, hell, even Squeek, that lil’ bitch.
It also reminded me how much a person can change from high school to now. I was the quiet guy the used to hang out with all the cliques. A drifter. If I got bored with one at the moment, I walked away to find another, usually unnoticed. Granted, we’re all as goofy as we were in HS, but in a more grown up manner.
As usual, I’m not sure where I was going with this. I guess this was more of a, “What’s on Gerry’s mind” post.
The best part though, is I still have blackmail videos of all three of the other posters I went to school with. Videography is fun.
Oh, BLACKMAIL, is it? It’s ok, if needed, I can always produce expert testimony as to how a certain Individual – let’s call him… G. Holt… no, too obvious, um… Gerry H. – got his ass handed to him on a regular basis in Tetris Attack by my wife… I mean, the expert in question. For your soon-to-be-forthcoming hush money, I accept all major credit cards, nondescript briefcases, and big bags of cash with a dollar sign on them.
And yes, I anticipate the game will be good. Count on me to add as much complexity to the game as I can think up without adding more resource usage than necessary. I always did have a particular love of customization.
SPEAKING of nostalgia, between playings of whatever 360 games Gamefly happens to have sent my way (Dead Space at this very moment, with Fallout 3 and Saints’ Row 2 chomping at the bit; all three are better than I expected, Saints’ Row in particular) I have been on a bit of a Dreamcast Record of Lodoss War kick. If you can manage to assemble the components necessary for play, I highly recommend giving the game a try. And name your Dwarf smithy “Biznitch” for me.
I recall only losing once or twice and you were helping her by pointing out chain opportunities. I wonder how much trouble we’d get in for making an XNA version of tetris attack. >.> we could call it atris tetack.
Also, I’m really looking forward to playing SR2 myself. I really enjoyed the first one and would like to play through the second one in co-op mode. Dead Space didn’t really wow me. It was cool the first chapter, then I became bored. Fallout 3 consumed my life for about 2 weeks.
this was a dear diary entry by gholt
shhhhh, no one can ever know that I was really Doug.
oh, we already knowww
Maybe next year for Halloween, I’ll get a belt, brown shorts and a green cardigan, wear my underwear over my shorts and declare myself Quail Man

There’s only one way to settle this debate: THUNDERDOME! TWO POSTERS ENTER! ONE POSTER LEAVES!
Fight. Fight for my amusement.
…Please?
