Games Kyle's Playing
- NBA 2k12 --- I know. I KNOW. I've probably played the NBA 2k series for atleast 350 real life hours. And yes, I KNOW that if I applied that time to any sort of constructive endeavor, I could probably boast actual abs, an add-on to the house, or a historical fiction novel. But I just don't care. The 2k series is the best sports simulation series ever made. And I will probably play it until I die.
- Madden 12 --- Since the NBA is in a lockout, with basically no signs of ever becoming anything more than rich people personally spitting on me and my devotion, I felt I needed to find a new outlet. As the NFL is the country's biggest obsession, I figured I had probably get on board. I bought this game in large measure to relearn everything I'd forgotten about football since the early nineties when I last cared. And it did it's work well.
- Deus Ex: Human Revolution --- Upgrading a bionic man while tiptoeing through warehouses? I accept.
- Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword --- It seems at first glance everything you could want in a semi-tactical, mostly action-oriented historical battle game. You rouse troops, you train them, you arm them, you lead them into battle. You track looters and punish them. You try to navigate the political turmoil of 17th century eastern europe. But it's just so messy. It tries to be epic to the point where it seems unfocused. The interface is clumsy to me, and I got so sick of trying to learn the nuances of directing my troops that I always devolved into eventually abandoning them to their fates, while riding around lopping heads off. Cause that's where the fun was at anyway.
What Kyle's Reading
- Nightlife by Rob Thurman --- Jeff introduced me to this author. After the density of A Song of Ice and Fire, it was nice to just jump into a light story with fun characters. Basically the story of what happens when demons make a baby, and the baby doesn't turn out to be that bad at being a person.
- A Feast for Crows by George RR Martin --- He introduces a giant roster of new people. Some of them interesting, some of them not so much. It's kind of a grab bag of new information about regions not heard from before. But overall, the only book in the series that I had to force myself to read, instead of forcing myself to stop for the sake of sleep requirements. Still a good book, but one I had to just get through moreso than savor.
- A Storm of Swords by George RR Martin --- This is my favorite volume so far. There were goosebump moments galore.
- A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin --- Has one of the most intense battle sequences I've ever read. I can't wait to see it on HBO.

You seemed to favor jeff's family. No pictures of me? And why can I only make some of your pictures bigger?
But that is a hot picture of my wife!
I don't know why only some get bigger, but I was sitting by Jeff's family, and Amy posted lots of pictures of you already...Sorry.
Besides, we know who everyone is REALLY interested in seeing. My picture was an absolute beaut...that's for sure. I should have done Jeff and Kory's hand trick.
That picture of Amy is funny. :0) You got some good pictures.
I am glad you posted those pictures because now I have copies of them, it is always nice to have access to all the photos taken on those trips. And you got some funny pictures. I love the one of you and kyle at the end. I think it is hilarious
This is unrelated to the trip... but I didn't realize that Good In Bed was written by someone with the last name Weiner.
Now THAT's destiny.
What's with the helmets?
Dad bought them for safety. It's radical.
I am happy to see more pictures of the Yuba trip :)
