Peace, Whiskerino! Here's to 2009! It's been real, even if I haven't been the most active member. Also, it's been a great excuse to try growing a beard. :) Can't wait until 2009! Peace out, see you all in dos mil nueve.]]> Fri, 29 Feb 2008 09:28:11 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/20123/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/19787/

Still here, still bearded, and if I've made it this far, who knows...maybe I can go a full year... I doubt it, though. A lot of people have been expressing their disdain for my sad attempt at growing facial hair when my face was clearly not designed with enough folicals.]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:34:53 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/19787/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/19067/

In the spirit of emo-myspace day (interestingly enough, I DID delete my myspace on January 30th, International Cancel Your Myspace Day), I resent this pillow and this shirt, because they are both corporate sell-outs and/or school spirit, and because they don't relate to my pain, they suck. Although the shirt is black, like the depths of my pain and sorrow. I'm too real to be cool or happy.]]> Fri, 01 Feb 2008 13:09:17 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/16501/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/15665/

Boring post-shower pic... Yeah, I've gotten back into the habit of NOT posting...bad idea. But when I was posting every day, it had become part of my morning routine: get up, go to the gym, run, come back, shower, whiskerino, go to class. But this past week, I didn't go to the gym every morning, because I was barely waking up in time for class. Hopefully this next week I will remedy that situation.]]> Sat, 26 Jan 2008 14:25:31 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/15665/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/14812/

And at long last we reach the end. #5 (Best Multiplayer) - Halo 3, Xbox 360 It's sad, really. Based on the enormous success of the rest of the Halo series, 3 should have easily been the game of the year. The biggest problem? There isn't THAT much that Bungie could do to improve Halo without risking a LOT. So Bungie gave us a Halo 1/2 hybrid with a few new weapons and equipment, amazing customization, a solid map lineup, a beautiful double-rendered graphic system, and a new map editing feature...but at its core, Halo 3 is still Halo. So to many, it simply seemed like Halo 2.5. The problem is that the major change that occurred between 1 and 2 was the addition of Xbox Live. Sure there were other changes, but these were overshadowed by the online multiplayer, which was excellent. It's even better in 3, but the problem is that, even with, by technical standards, almost unbelievable graphics, gameplay, customization, and countless tiny improvements, it comes off as the same old multiplayer-heavy title. Which means that, while no (or very few) reviewers gave it less than excellent reviews, it is in no way a contender for the major awards given out each year, because it's simply not original enough. Which makes me sad, because although Halo seems a little cliche, and the overly prideful gamers attempting to be "cool" by negativity claim to despise it, it's still really fun. Everything that made Halo 1 and 2 good are here, and more. So while it will be overlooked for most awards, I give it best multiplayer. It's extensive customization and options for split-screen, system link, and online play make this good alone, but add to that the new multiplayer-enabled Forge map editor and the new saved films and screenshots features, along with the community file-share structure, and Halo has the potential to be the greatest multiplayer experience an FPS could hope to deliver. Beautiful job, Bungie. Well done.]]> Fri, 18 Jan 2008 10:51:49 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/14546/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/14387/

#4 (Most Underrated) - Assassin's Creed, Xbox 360/Playstation 3/Coming to PC This game really got unfair reviews, I think. It was knocked for repetition, mostly. Which is funny, since most games are, by nature, rather repetitive. When one tries to hurry and rush through Assassin's Creed, yes, it's becomes PAINFULLY repetitious and slow-paced. But if you don't have a deadline to finish it by, I highly recommend stepping back and admiring the detail of models, textures, artwork, and ESPECIALLY animations that went into this amazing work of gaming art, and the repetition will melt as you try to be as Assassin-like as possible. As a game that's both open and linear, the level of freedom is perfect while at the same time allowing for a decent story. But the greatest part of the game is the end, which isn't really an end at all. Oh sure, it's an end to the storyline within a storyline, but it appears to be just the beginning for our true protagonist Desmond. Here's hoping for Assassin's Creed 2!]]> Thu, 17 Jan 2008 11:30:16 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/14387/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/14157/

#3 (Most Pure, Unadulterated FUN) - Super Mario Galaxy, Wii I didn't get to play this game until very recently. Let's just say that for all purposes of purely fun, this game wins. Period. While it's not the most immersive or thought-inspiring experience, it's really, really fun. Really.]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2008 06:53:12 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/14157/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/13985/

#2 (Best Shooter) - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Xbox 360/Playstation 3/PC Straight off the heels of Call of Duty 2, this is the third installment, Call of Duty 4! Background on that, after Call of Duty 2, Activision decided that they wanted to release a Call of Duty game every year. Developer Infinity Ward considered this an impossibility. Rather than simply improving on the last model, Infinity Ward wanted to recreate the next game from the ground up (again), and also to leave behind the generic WWII shooter idea and move to something bigger and better, i.e. Modern Warfare. So Activision, being the bastards that they are, shunted the project, brain child of Infinity Ward, off to developer Treyarch, to make the 3rd game in the series in the year between 2 and 4. 3 sucked when compared to 2, and obviously compared to 4. And so, the end credit music in what is easily the best shooter of 2007 expresses the frustration of developer Infinity Ward in the body of a rap song, which repeatedly verifies that "this is the third installment, Infinity Ward shit!" An excellent game. I have beaten it completely once, most of the way a second time, and am playing through on Veteran, not to mention the extensive online play with a beautiful perk system for customization and class creation. As X-Play would say: A five, out of five.]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2008 06:50:06 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/13985/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/13851/

Guess who slept until 4pm today. In other news, a: I really need to post more often, and b: my wisdom teeth, or rather lack thereof, are feeling much better.

Merry Christmas everyone! I was hoping to do a Christmas themed picture, but there is so little time around Christmas when you're a pastor's son... Have you ever had a dream in which, while you're dreaming, you fall asleep in your dream and have a second dream inside the first dream? I haven't, but I've heard of people who have. I'm about to experience something kind of like it. I came home for the holidays, and today I'm going on vacation...so I'm going on a vacation within a vacation. Sounds kinda fun. See you all in a few days!]]> Wed, 26 Dec 2007 05:46:07 -0800 http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/10985/ http://www.whiskerino.org/2007/kuni/10025/

Last day of No-Shave November, which means tomorrow I can finally start to trim this a little...which is good, because as a Fleming, a lot of my facial hair looks like crap.
