For the first time in over 10 years, I played a round of golf this weekend.  Acutally, I played 2 rounds – 9 holes on Friday at a local course with my dad and my son, and then 18 with my dad up near his house.  As expected, it wasn’t pretty.  However, I did have [...]

I’m actually on my way to completing a project!  Woo-hoo! Back in May, when I was in my web programming class, I decided I was going to build a website with my daughter.  Well, today, I showed her phase one of getting this thing published.  I completed the master page, the home page, and all [...]

Well, as I figured would happen, since I picked up NCAA Football 2010 for the 360, my time with Fight Night Round 4 and Tiger Woods 2010 has waned a bit.  Not totally, though – this week I’m 2-0 as a professional light heavyweight with 2 KO’s in FN Round 4, and I’ve “played with [...]

As predicted, I got Fight Night Round 4 for my birthday!  I’ve spent a handful of hours with it, and so far, I’m really pleased.  I was a fan of Fight Night Round 3.  However, there were some things I wanted to see improved, like the abysmal “career” mode and the pace of the action.  [...]

The Midde-Aged Gamer turns 38 today!  Sometimes I wonder if I’m too old to be playing all of these games, and I wonder if I’ll be doing it when I’m 50.  For whatever reason, I feel young enough at heart to still get the same enjoyment out of gaming that I felt 20 years ago.  [...]

I finished my second tournament today.  This one didn’t take as long, because I didn’t make the cut – yeah, it’s in there!  I finished tied for 90th at +1.  I’m really happy with the skills of my golfer and the level of difficulty, save the issue of hitting too many fairways. One thing I’m [...]

The more I play Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 on the 360, the more I like it…  For example, today was the 4th round of my first tournament, and it might be my imagination, but the game got a little harder.  It felt less forgiving when I hit my shots – kind of like the [...]

I played another round in the first tournament of my career in Tiger today.  And, much to my approval, the other golfers didn’t suddenly play poorly to bring me into the middle of the pack.  At the end of day one, the leader was at -6; day two, -11.  I shot +11 on day one [...]

Okay, it wasn’t a bank error, but I do think it was a pricing error at a major retailer…  We were pool shopping today, and even though my birthday’s coming up, I wasn’t shopping for much of anything for me, especially since money’s tight for the next couple of weeks after a two-week spending spree [...]

I’ve been home for 3 days now, and I’m settling back into my “routine.”  Although, I’ve added a morning workout to my routine, since I ate like a teenager for two weeks while on vacation!  In the summer, I don’t need to worry about making it home as soon as possible to be there shortly after [...]
