I do love me some video games. One of the things I am particularly excited about is Valve’s upcoming Orange Box. The Orange Box looks to be one of the best deals in gaming, plus just amazing, all in a box, that is a sexy shade of orange.

Gametrailers.com has provided many a enjoyable trailer for the gamers delight, and Valve has released many trailers for the upcoming Orange Box, including the game I am most anticipating, Portals.

And while I am looking forward to Portals a lot, I am enjoying the trailers that Valve has been releasing for Team Fortress 2. Team Fortress was always a lot of fun when I was younger. I love playing the engineer, mainly because of the fact that you could build these gigantic turrets. Well Valve has finally released the Engineer movie, and it is hilarious. So if you have time, go watch the Engineer movie, and go read up on the Orange box, which will be amazing.

Enjoy,

p.s. it’s Programmers Day. Give your favorite programmer a hug ;)

So excited, and I just can’t hide it.

The Merchant of Death. Awesome. Check out the trailer page, and the Ironman wikipedia page. So a few comments on this film trailer. First, I think the Robert Downey Jr. was a great choice for the role, at least it seems so in this trailer. I’m hoping that he can play the cocky bastard / genius / superhero role well. It looks like he definitely has Stark’s pre-Ironman image down pat. On top of this, it seems like the suit does a great job looking like the Iroman costume from the modern comic books, such as Civil War.Finally I am happy that the movie is located all in California, even though the comic is based in New York. Why? Because California doesn’t get enough love from Marvel :p

You are most like Matt Mullenweg!

You are most like Matt Mullenweg. Though you recognize your authority, you do not relish the idea of using your power too aggressively. Instead, you rely on peers a lot. You do participate in the social media world, but it is not something that occupies a lot of time. You most likely devote yourself to projects that you feel passionate about and tend to evangelize those things quite a bit.


Heh, Maybe they got my name wrong? Matt, Nat, they sound the same… and i do kinda look like him… but I don’t think I ever created Wordpress. Unless I’m a schizo, which is probably not going to end well…

Take the test here.

I love the internet. If possible I want to be able to touch it all times. I want to be able to see a billboard, find it interesting, and plug the company’s website into a hand held device and find out about them. I want to walk past a cool t-shirt, or other product and place an order right there, or at least post information about it to either an online to-do list or twitter or something. I want information at my fingertips 24/7. This doesn’t mean I’ll be using this information at all times, but the possibility so that when something comes up I can know the answer to what glycyrrhizin is. This is the information age after all. (more…)

So I’ve been a little slow to write this, mainly due to the fact that I’ve been having trouble catching up on sleep. But two weekends ago, I had an amazing weekend, because I spent the weekend at PAX in Seattle. Now I should have cool and interesting reveiw of PAX, but now two weeks later it doesnt look like it’s gonna happen. Why? because I have NADD.

here are some good reviews though:

PAX at Slashdot

Tycho + Gabe on PAX

Ars Technica’s Post 

I’ll post some pictures eventually too.

p.s. read the article I linked to on Nerd Attention Deficit Disorder (NADD). It describes me so well it’s scary.
