Guess What We Bought Today!!!

Here's a hint: it has a garage.

The house is just off the left side of the frame.


The back of the garage.

The House We're Looking At

We've been looking at houses for a little while now; not owning our home is starting to get old. This place looks kinda small in the first picture, but it's not (at least compared to our apartment now).

The Philosopher

A friend of mine has a LOG of his musings on the WEB. It is hosted on BLOGGER but it's not a 'blog. It's just not, okay?!

All Opinions Are Not Equal

Stilt Beetle

King of Razors

It seems like I draw some variation of this little guy every day. My mind draws through the lines and I relax a bit - pencil zen.

This is the best one. I don't really know what all those things are floating around his head, but I draw that kinda stuff all the time too.

Metroid Prime: Retroview

If you wait 5 years to buy a game, you can get it pretty cheap.

Super Metroid was a classic. It took everything we loved about Metroid and brought it to the next level. Prime brings the series at least the same distance again. The first-person perspective takes a bit of getting used to, but before long you're trudging through the swamps of Talon IV like a pro.

Despite the radical departure from the "platform shooter" format, it stil feels like Metroid. The following things define and preserve the series:

• blowing a hole in a weak wall to find a secret missile expansion


• backtracking through areas I'd already explored because "now I have the Morph Ball"


• atmospheric music

…and they're all still here. Nintendo has added to that successful formula with a mysterious and developed story, and exploration in the third dimension. Prime is a worthy addition to the Metroid story - true to its roots, and treading new ground.

Why Sketch Baroque

The original intent when creating this '-blog' was to put up the little doodles I make when I'm thinking or bored. I just got a scanner for my birthday so the dream will finally be realized! BEHOLD!
