My Xbox bloggs

Sep
I like to let my Xbox try her hand at writing every once and a while. In this spirit, I set up a blog for my Xbox, Thecla [1] , over at 360Voice.com. This is what Thecla had to say yesterday:
Like a king on his throne, hundiejo said ‘awaken’ and for him I did comply. 7,895 points represents the size of our growing kingdom. Ok, enough of this Monarchy stuff. That is an improvement of 85 points over last time! He opened up Marvel Ult. Alliance 2 finishing 5 achievements, and did it while drooling over my awesome graphics and sound.
- had to name something thecla [↩]

World of Goo
06
Nov
If you haven’t gotten this game via WiiWare, you need to pony up the $15 and get it today. Golly, what a good game. Like Braid, everything in this game is well designed and well executed, from the gameplay mechanisms, to the music, to the artistic stylings. Brain is more of a emotional drama, whereas World of Goo is more of goofy fun-fest.
World of Goo is available on PC, Wii, and I don’t care what else (Macs and such).

Ticket to Ride on Medium

Last night, I posted my besting of easy to ride on easy. 4 hard players smoked me like a pack of joes. I tried my hand at medium today:
Success. Now, onto try my hand at hard while grading tests.
Fun with Ticket to Ride

Oct
I just finished whooping up on the computers in Ticket to Ride on the 360 while writing.
That’s right, longest train along with 20 and 17 point destination cards filled equal dominating victory.
What’s the catch? They were all on easy to medium. Right now I am playing with 4 hard players. We will see how that goes…
A few things
17
Sep
So far this semester I have turned in my second thesis chapter and gave my first lecture. I did the former a few weeks ago; the latter this afternoon. It went quite well. Overall, I think I am pleased with how it went. There was definitely enough material to work with as I had to cut out several parts [1] and shorten others. [2] I really had to cut short my description of the Acts of Philip and the Acts of Thomas’s depictions of the Jews as a religious other. That I think is my largest self-criticism. That was really important and I just did not give myself the time to explain it fully. What should have taken 5-8 minutes had to be done in 2. The other thing that I worry about is if I talked over their heads. I had a hard time knowing what a freshman in college would get and not get. I might post the audio of it online sometime – if I like what I hear. I am trying to edit my notes into a post, or perhaps a post series. We’ll see how that goes.
Mega-Man 9 is a coming out soon! I am pretty stoked about that one. It is being released in a week in Japan and over here shortly after. [3] The bosses are looking good, the art is looking good, and they even have a nostalgic press kit which features a game box as an NES cartridge.
I really wanna try out The Force Unleashed. Money is a bit tight right now, [4] so dumping $60 on a game is a bit frivolous. Man, I wish the 360 version had multiplayer on the 360. I guess the 360 and the PS3 just can’t handle the three independent physics systems in the game over an Internet connection. I wish there was a way you could revert to some old physics engine or something when you played online. Oh well. I could always go for the Wii version that has dueling saber battles.
What else is going on? I hope to get more than 4 hours of sleep in a given night… Oh, that reminds me. I am really looking forward to this weekend. Meredith, Scott, Sarah, Alan, Patty, JR, and Amanda are coming down to Meredith’s parent’s house for the weekend. We will just hang out. That’s it. [5] And I have a sermon I’ll be giving at Meredith’s dad’s church. It should be a great time.
Ok, Meredith should be calling me soon, so I’ll end things here. Oh, wait a tic. I wonder what Shakespeare would say if he were alive today? (Thanks Digg)

- such as a discussion of how we can reconstruct liturgical elements of early Xian practice from the Apocryphal Acts of the Apostles, such as the Acts of Thomas [↩]
- I’m too lazy too look up the date [↩]
- I get paid in the rears, so I won’t get paid for TA’ing until the end of this month for the first time since school got out last year [↩]
- well, and grade quizzes and respond to paper drafts [↩]
Growing on me… (MK vs DC)

Ok, so it’s because of magic that these cats can dare to challenge Supes; whatever, I’ll take a placeholder to try out his laser vision and ice breath. If am looking for mindless fighting game, one that lets me use DC characters will get my vote. I have no pretension that I am getting any kind of masterful story telling or canonriffic powers. Sometimes I like to eat straight sugar.

Two further things.
A. Star Wars: The Clone Wars was fun. Really, really fun. Don’t believe the naysayers. Just go in expecting a good pilot episode for the new TV series and you will leave pleasantly surprised. Tropic Thunder? See here for an echo of my thoughts.
B. Star Wars the Force Unleashed is coming out soon. Woot. Woot. and Hip, hip, hooray.
Oh Yes – Star Trek Online

I might MMO…
Man, I can’t belive how emotional the Star Trek music is for me. It invokes the ideology of Star Trek, the utopian vision of humanity moreso than anything else.
