That's the Spirit!
Thursday, May 12, 2005
Maybe it's all the buzz about the new Star Wars movie, but I decided to try and replay my way through the 1992 classic PC game "X-Wing". Oh wait, do or do not, there is no try. So, I'm going to play through X-Wing.

Even today, it holds up as an awesome gaming experience, despite the dated graphics. I had actually beaten all 120 + missions and saved my pilot, but for whatever reason the disk I saved it is broken...so I'm starting from scratch. This is actually a good thing. It's a fun game and I wish I had the time I did back in the day to enjoy it.

In other news, training is going good and I'm feeling good things about the book proposal. If Stars Wars has taught me anything, I need to use the force...

Me: (waves hand) "This is the guy you want to write the Colorado guide book, and you'll give him a healthy advance."

Editor: "I want you to write this guide book and here's a bunch of broccoli and carrots, in advance."

Me: "DOH!"

Comments:
Back when it was Easter, Ryan (my bro-in-law) and I played through and beat Super Mario World in a single day, unlocking all the P-switches and everything. Revisiting old games be where it's at.

Okay, I'm done. No more until after California.
 
Ah, Super Mario World. A classic, to be sure. I recently got the Game Boy Advance version, which was awesome. I don't think I cleared everything, but maybe I did. I forget how many total worlds there are (I'm thinking 96?)

I wonder what's afoot in California?
