Best wishes for a fab 2009 to everyone in the GamePolitics community!
I'm taking Mrs. GP to a movie today (Milk), then dinner with the folks and maybe catch some of the Rose Bowl (rooting for Penn State).
How are you spending your day?

DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

Technogeek: Brutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm

Heh, I got RickRolled on New Year's Eve only a matter of minutes before midnight (maybe over an hour, since I don't remember when it happened), and I laughed harder than I had in a good long time.

Spent a good portion of the time watching the all day Looney Toons marathon on Cartoon network, one wonders why they show tom and jerry regularly yet never show looney toons.

Re: Happy 2009 !!!
Spent the day getting my head around the Java Observable Interface and trying to bend my old Z80 head around Object-Orientated programming.
It's a very useful way of coding, but so easy to let things fly out from under the radar, you have to keep a close eye on the design specs.
I think languages can get to a stage where they become too inter-connectible, for example, Java interfaces make for a useful tool, but unless you design with them in mind from the start, they can cause more confustion than assistance. This is not good when you are a University student who is learning the language whilst writing a project, since time is limited and it's a pain to keep going back and re-writing sections based on newly gained information about the language.
From what I recall the Swing interface doesn't implement Hardware graphics acceleration, so I might also have to learn JOgl in order to do the main screen of my Uni project, yet more to add to the ever-growing list...

My day was spent wondering why instead of going into the nice warm house, I slept in the backseat of my car. I blame 2008.

Played a little GTA IV, but mainly watched the Rocky movies.
I watched LSU whip Georgia Tech 38-3 in the Chick-Fil-A(Peach) Bowl last night.

Well, I just finished one file that needed to be transcribed for work and am going ot put off the other one until tomorrow -- it's the holiday, I can do that! Also, just got Guitar Hero World Tour for Christmas from my hubby, so I'll most likely play a few rounds of that.

Re: Happy 2009 !!!
Playing video games and watching bowl games (including the Rose Bowl).
I'm not a big movie-theater person, but I would like to see "Frost/Nixon" sometime.
Re: Happy 2009 !!!
Frost/Nixon makes me laugh.. Frost has a reputation here in the UK for being a decrepit old senile presenter, and in the film he's some trendy young go-getter. xD
Re: Happy 2009 !!!
Well it's not set in modern times, Nixon died in the 90s. According to wikipedia the interviews it was based off of took place in 1973.

Yeah I know.. but it's like imagining your parents as children. Just doesn't work in your mind.
Re: Happy 2009 !!!
I got beaten up and had my glasses nicked on New Years Eve, so mostly I've been loafing around, squinting at Prince of Persia.
Re: Happy 2009 !!!
bummer... on the beatdown, not the game...
Re: Happy 2009 !!!
Heh thanks.. chance of me getting the specs back though, a couple of people helped us out and one of them got hospitalised; so the police are getting involved, taking a statement from me tomorrow.

Re: Happy 2009 !!!
I'm probably going to spend today, and my day off tomorrow, working on leveling my paladin in WoW to 80. I should get to 73 by today, and with any luck 74 by the end of the weekend.
Re: Happy 2009 !!!
Well, I have to replace the breaks on my van, finish setting up my dev server among other things.
