++Good Games Podcast/Video Games and Pizza

asparatu — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 06:12:41 +0000

Where I work at there is customer that comes in at least once or twice a week and orders pizza. I usually get to talk to for few minutes and one of the last times he was in, we were talking about the jobs he had and he told me that does podcast, so I ask for the address so could listen to it. I was not sure what it was about. I listen to about half of the most current one and notice it was about games, so I when back to listen to the very first one that was in the RSS and it gave me little background on the people that are in the podcast. Everyone that is part of this podcast were in some way employed by Game Crazy either at Hollywood Video or before it was bought by Hollywood Video. They talk about about all different Console Systems and games they have played or going to play for them. It was interesting in the first podcast I was listening to they were talking about Play Station and Play Station 2 and the podcast was in June 05, 2010, but I thought there was Play Station 3 out already, but I might be wrong. I have not listen to them all, but I wonder if they have reviews on PC games, too and not just Console Games. Just a side note, my wife use have Alienware PC, too until she broke it and she only had for 8 months, just mention it because I heard that couple of the people on the podcast have Alienware PCs.

Castlevania is one the best games for Nintendo systems back in 1980′s. I still remember playing that game, when i was 13 or 14 years old. I played the first 3 or 4 Castlevania’s for the NES and the one for the SNES. I think i still have an arcade version that I use with MAME emulator that play from time to time. I am more of a Old School Arcade and computer games person. I had few console systems but notice the graphics were a lot better on PC then on console systems. Probably the best system I had was the TurboGrafx-16 systems, It did catch on like the other system even though it was lot better system and one thing it did way before other game console system was it had CD-ROM games, which I think at that time no-one had that type of system. The other system that was very good and cost a lot of money was the NEO-GEO system. That console system was just as good as the game in the arcade machines that was produced by SNK. I also played Super Mario World and beat it 3 time(I think it was all the save game spot it had) and got all the special Star Worlds, too. I just remember, I have one of those Virtual Boy, too, I think I bought for about $30.00 or so, when they stop making them. Played some for while and you did get bad head aches from playing it.

I think this is worth checking out, if you like video games and hear some reviews on new games coming out.

Oregon Zoo

asparatu — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:20:52 +0000

I when to the Oregon Zoo with a co-worker and his daughter on Monday. It has been about 4 years since i been there, so I though would be fun to go and see the animals there. One of the most interesting things I seen there was a Star Fish, it was so big. The other interesting thing was that we went over by where the Snakes were and there was support be Python in the exhibit but was not there, so I took a picture of some thermal image of me and the other people that was there. Supposedly, the python snake uses thermal heat to track it pray and they had thermal imaging censor there to emulate what the python would see as it was looking at you.

Devonwood Horse Show

Here I’m for my second day at the horse show at Devonwood in Sherwood, Oregon.

Yesterday, when I got here, I was looking for the mobile pizza trailer and I stop for a second to look around for it and out nowhere this horse came running by my car and almost hit it and the end up inside the stables and about one minute rider came by looking for it. Interesting thing is I think the horse threw the rider. Today is last day here. I really enjoyed working out here and the people are really nice and staff is really nice to work with.

Paper and Box Burning Again

asparatu — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 05:13:34 +0000

This was a few weeks later, I had some more stuff to burn, so I decided to do after I got off work one day it was almost night time when I started and it was very windy, so it made for very cool picture of the flames and there are few videos, too. You can hear the sheep in the back ground off the videos. After it was all done burning the stuff was so hot that it was almost white i color, which look very cool looking.

Death is Abundant!

asparatu — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 00:32:49 +0000

I got bad news today my aunt’s father died sometime this week. I really did not know him that well, but when was over his house he was very nice to me. I know he was not doing good for while now and I know it was just matter of time before it was going to happen.

On another note, one of my co-workers friend died yeterday. From what I heard he was young around 16 or years old. I tried help her and make her feel better, done really if help her or not. Apparently, her friend drowned some where.

I remember, when I was in school and someone died who was in one of my classes. Did not know that well, but remember he was not nice to me. The strange thing is we were making joke that he was dead and we found out couple days later that he died that weekend of drug overdose and drown in small pool of water. Some man found him while he was practicing golfing in a field. They had a story on the news about him for doing something called huffing. We seen that there was something wrong but he lie about it.

Alone

asparatu — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 07:11:13 +0000

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were — I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring –
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow — I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone –
And all I lov’d — I lov’d alone –

Then — in my childhood — in the dawn
Of a most stormy life — was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still –
From the torrent, or the fountain –
From the red cliff of the mountain –
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold –
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by –
From the thunder, and the storm –
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view –

Paper Burning

Bellagios Pizza Parking Lot Drama

asparatu — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 03:07:26 +0000

I was getting off work tonight and there was crash outside in the parking lot. The person went halfway though the parking lot and taking out two trees before stopping. The guy in the vehicle was going about 45 mph or faster to take out those trees. The manager should be glad he was not working because where that guy went though, he normally parks his car and it would have totalled the his car. After the EMS removed him from the vehicle, I notice the driver only had broken finger, but he was still taken the hospital. I was talking to one person there and she said that her daughter went to the hospital emergency room because she was in shock because the guy almost hit her and she was not happy. She wanted to hurt him for scaring her daughter like that, but he was already going to the hospital and she seem happy because of that. Some people ask me if he was on drugs or drinking, I said, “I really do not know and he look fine to me.”

After a little bit one of the Glee kids starts sing and the rest of them join in with her. I was interesting scene and despite their not being able to speak they were happy.

Tabrett Bethell Alluring Eyes

asparatu — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 22:02:58 +0000

Going off the post about Ellen Pompeo alluring eyes. I thought, I would post something about Tabrett Bethell, who is very sexy and who has very sexy eyes, too. In a few of the pictures she is smiling, which is an enjoyable thing to see because she is more of serious character. I think she very talented because of the dynamics of how she express herself and makes you believe you were really there experiencing it with her.

All the photo are from http://tabrettbethell.info/ and I wanted to give that person credit for having the pictures for everyone to see and taking the time to make screen captures of them.
