Been a real mild winter in South Florida. Past two days woke up to temperatures in the mid 50s, but things will be back up to the 80s by the end of the week. Hopefully have 3 months before the summer heat makes things intolerable.
55°F
Current: Cloudy
Wind: NW at 6 mph

A bit over a month ago I started playing World of Warcraft again. Took awhile to get my lvl80 Tauren Hunter to lvl85, but it was fun. Will need to start doing that with my lvl80 Paladin as well. Playing mostly for PVP (player vs player). Still need to get better gear, but I am still having fun regardless. Would like to eventually get a rogue leveled up to max for PVP as well. Hopefully won’t lose interest in the game before doing so.
If I had not resubbed for World of Warcraft, I likely would have spent way too much cash on games during the last Steam sale. They still got me for a couple bucks this time with Bit Trip Runner and Majicka, but I likely would have spent much more and bought more games that I only play once or twice had I not had the WoW subscription.

Microsoft recently released the Kinect motion sensor peripheral for Xbox 360. From what I’ve seen so far it is impressive. Kinect is a combination of cameras, motion sensors, and microphones which are then used to put you into the game. Drop the controller and get off the couch because Kinect uses your whole body to play.
Kinect was released November 4, 2010, and is in stores and at fine online retailers today. The Kinect sensor, and game Kinect Adventures, retails for $149.99. If you don’t have an Xbox 360 yet, bundles are available with the Xbox 360 console, hard drive, and Kinect sensor and Kinect Adventures.
More than 10 games are available at launch. Dance Central, from the makers of Guitar Hero and Rock Band is a rhythmic dance game, moving players through over 600 dance moves in 90 routines. Dance Central shows players how to perform each move, making it a cinch for beginners to learn more advance dance techniques. Your Shape Fitness Evolved, from Ubisoft, is a game designed to make players get more active. With workout routines from well-known fitness experts, Your Shape Fitness Evolved puts you into the game and gives you precise feedback so you know if you are doing it right. Your Shape Fitness Evolved tracks your progress and how many calories your burned, and if you want, you can share your progress with your friends. Kinectimals, is another launch title for Kinect. Kinectimals lets you interact with virtual pets on your Xbox. Aimed at a younger audience, Kinectimals allows kids to train and interact with several large cats on screen.
Kinect for Xbox 360 is available in stores and online (free shipping for Amazon Prime) now for $149.99. Most Kinect launch titles are priced at $49.99 or less. Stay tuned as I will be reviewing the Kinect sensor and one or more launch titles in an upcoming post.

How does something like this happen?
Me, that’s who. Back to doing this sort of thing. Been a while. Last time I did any sort of updates on this site was nearly two years ago during my first Vegas trip. Since then, I have started and stopped playing World of Warcraft again. Moved on to playing more poker. Starcraft 2 broke my poker addiction, as I have been playing it ever since it was released. Not saying that I am any good though.
Look to be making some modifications to this site. In the past I work more on the layout/format, which sucked, and disregarded the content. This time around I will keep the site simple and use it as an outlet for the internet equivalent of my verbal diarrhea.
