Where I be at

I haven't posted in a while so I once again, here is where I be at: May 23rd Edition.

My birthday came this year like a shotgun full of snow and kicked my ass. It had to be the best bday I've ever had in my life - in fact we are changing that right now. It officially WAS the best bday every. The party, the friends, the gifts, and the awesomeness of my wife were just unbeatable. So thanks to everyone who made it just one hell of a day.

On the other side of things I haven't touched my flocking game since the last update. While that somewhat doesn't sit with me right I have been busy working on a project with a friend of mine and its coming along. This first project is sort of a test and if we can pull it off then we should have almost all the tech we need to make something good. The environment is not XNA so things tend to go a bit slower but I've come to the realization my XNA code is a great place to prototype ideas very fast before transferring them to our other code base. Once we get this first thing done, I'll probably start doing that more but sadly I have to keep our project under-wraps which normally I hate to do but that's how it is.

On the game side of things, I've been diving pretty head first into Mass Effect 2. I hated the first one but this one is winning me over. It still was kind of a slow burn but once I got into the flow of the games short side missions and found a class that suited me (go engineer!) I slid into the experience. Right now i'm burning through it while waiting for Alpha Protocol at end of the month.

Other then that, I just saw Stuff and Unstrung in NYC with the wife. Damn that is a good show and if you get a chance to see it, do so - you won't regret it.
