Not A Vitamin Supplement


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't talk a lot about work, but this has consumed most of my month. One of the biggest projects in a long while, and we finally got it going this week. There's still work to be done, but it's a nice accomplishment.

Run Bear Run


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As an update on the Hound Heelton, Bear seems to love it here. By mid-morning he's usually achieved his activity goal for the day. Good for him good for us, nice people, what's not to like? Thought I'd throw in a picture of the actual place.

Beaver Nation


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Timberborn is a city builder with a fairly strange twist, all your citizens are anthropomorphic beavers. The twist for this particular game was interesting uses of water, and water cycles where it would either dry up or get contaminated. A solid game though once you got the gist it didn't have many surprises.

Quilt Of Valor


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today the quilt guild Dad belongs to honored him with a Quilt of Valor for which he was deeply touched, even got a little teary eyed. He may not have seen combat but he was treated poorly for being a soldier during Vietnam, and his work in the Air Force changed warfare and the world, ultimately saving many soldier's lives.

Wrong Name


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Way back in 2004 a game came out called Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines. Quite the mouthful. For it's time it was an amazing game and still remains on many a gamers top ten list. I'm one of them, I played it through several times. If this blog existed back then, surely it would have been raved about within it.

So after 22 years, they came out with a sequel. Only it's not anything like the original, except that it exists in the same universe. On it's own, without trying to cash in on the original's nostalgia, Bloodlines 2 was actually a solid game. Decent story, really good voice acting. But it can't escape the weight of the original and in comparison is a huge disappointment. They should have just called it something else and it would have left a better taste in everyone's mouth, myself included.
