Random work in progress.

I haven’t messed around in Photoshop in a long time, so the other day I decided to create something. I don’t really know what it is, but it’s not done yet. Make sure to click for full size – lots of texture in this one. Oh, and be patient. Make tea or something. Suggestions, comments? [...]

This is where computers die.

The New York Times Magazine published a moving collection of images in their latest issue highlighting the impact our computer waste makes in other countries.   This is the first time I’ve been fully exposed to the e-waste issue, as I missed the Futurama episode last month.  After some further reading, I found it’s likely [...]

Haircut! –snip-

It’s pretty short and I’m digging it. Blowdrying my hair is no longer a chore, nor is a straightener even necessary! I could seriously get used to this.   PS: I’m still missing one god damn thermos in Alan Wake. PSS: I just started playing Forza Motorsport 3. And it’s more entertaining than I thought.

I lied… but here’s some pictures!

Dear Blog, I lied to you. I feel awful and ashamed. Today someone messaged me on XBL telling me how bad of a person I was. I already put these on x360a but just because you get sloppy seconds does not mean I love you less. I promise. Always, Eksy

It’s been a while.

Dear Blog, Tomorrow you will be updated. Hiking adventures and my play-through Alan Wake. Which was amazing. Love, Eksy

My E3 adventure. (Part 1)

I never thought I would attend this event before I was in the industry developing games, but there I was. Two weeks earlier I didn’t realize I even had a chance, but thanks to some amazing people, the opportunity was presented to me. (And here I thought my summer wouldn’t be very eventful.) – View [...]

Summer is finally here + Alpha Protocol?

I won’t be taking an adventure to any sort of exotic land, but I am perfectly content with where I am. With no course work left to do, I can now breathe easy and focus on whatever it is I feel like. At the moment, Jquery and Achievementt points! I would love to redesign this [...]

Red Dead Redemption Sales: Week 1

In its first week, Red Dead Redemption sold 871,685 units on 360 and 566,857 units on PS3 worldwide. This chalks the total up to an incredible 1,438,542 between the two consoles. Apparently, there were shortages of the PS3 version, but had this demand been met, this number could have been even higher. Grats Rockstar for [...]

Red Dead Redemption – Stealing more lives since WoW.

Selling around 550,000 copies on it’s opening day alone, Read Dead Redemption is spreading through my Xbox friends list like wildfire. I’m eager to see the numbers once the 1-week mark has come around. [Time for bed. Yay for microblogging. P.S. Halo: Reach Beta offline.]

Halo: Reach Beta is online!

The Halo: Reach Beta has gone live today and all you need to access it is your Halo: ODST Campaign disc. Note, the experience will not be flawless as the servers experienced flooding earlier today. I am also witness to the pain experienced by a server rollback in which unlocked equipment and gained ranks were [...]
