So I’ve truly found the key to updating a blog consistently and although it pains me to say it… my PS3 is the devil. It normally will sit 2 feet to the right of my desk along with at least one wireless controller adjacent to it at all times and within arms reach. I generally make it a rule I am not allowed to press that PS button until 5pm (working from home has its perks, but it also comes with its forbidden fruits, gaming before 5 is one of them) but usually by 5:01 the machine is up and running. I’m not a true “hardcore” gamer, as I don’t get every game that comes out, no headset to talk shit to pre-pubescent 12 year olds, no HD hook up to make every pixel glisten that much more. I am, however a dedicated gamer. I find a game and I dig in deep. All the maps are memorized, weapon classes at peak performance, multiple Superbowl championships, and achievement pages at a failure until they reach 100% complete.

So, why am I writing this evening? Periodically I bring my PS3 to some friends’ house so we can game together and try to turn all those Bill Gates loving Xbox nerds over to the dark side. This happened to be one of those weekends, and productivity has gone up 8000%. Not only have I finished my weekends work before Sunday night, but I also am obviously updating the website. So I write this to not only give you a glimpse of what your missing when I am not writing, but also the mistress that leads me astray from my workings of KDA.

This isn’t even the intended story I wanted to tell when I first opened up a word doc, I just had so much to get off my chest that this entire PS3 entry created its own life. The story I wanted to write about was about what happened to me over the weekend. It went a like this…
