We got a new kitten. His name is Sam. Which means we now have Sam and Max. If you didn’t get the reference, you haven’t played enough early 1990s Lucasarts adventure games yet.
Anyways, here are some pictures of Sam.
How not to drive a bus
How not to drive a bus. A bus driver from Ontario hit a 9 foot 6 inch overpass with his 13 foot tall bus yesterday. NOT RECOMMENDED. No one was killed, but a child was hurt and an adult went into cardiac arrest. Photo from Newsday
life goes on.
working for too little.
things & stuff.
We are very sad right now. On Saturday Oliver, our big white fat deaf lovable cat, we took him to the vet and he didn’t come home. He was only three years old. Both Sandy and I are torn up inside over it. For those of you not following, Oliver had feline hyperestesia. It had gotten to the point where the medication wasn’t helping him any more and the other cats were getting more agitated and angry at him. We finally realized that he was incurable and either on or off the drugs, he wasn’t the same cat anymore. I’ve been feeling a lot of grief and pain, and Sandy about a million times more than I.
I know that he was really happy with us though, and that makes all the difference. We took him when no one else would and poured our love and our hearts into him. I’ll never have another cat like him.
I think that right now, he’s lazing it up just like the photo. That happy sleepy cat.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
GTA overload
I think we all heard that GTA San Andreas came out the other day, but so did GTA Advance! Since I do the vast majority of my gaming on my GBA SP this was much more exciting for me.
GTA Advance somehow manages to keep the same feel as the original GTA, but scaled down to 240×160. The cars might look chunky but the feel makes up for it – things like the feel of the steering, the view zooming out when you accelerate, they all have that GTA feel.
So just when a decent portable version of GTA comes out, I run acrossGrand Theftendo, where some crazy guy has developed a homebrew NES (yes, 8-bit) game encompassing the entire first city of GTAIII – with hand-drawn pixel graphics. Mmmmmm… pixels.
