Along time away and a promise

I have been away for a long time and this is a promise to myself and those that read this (all none of you)...I 'll write at least once a month in this public journal.

I should know the value of journals bing a historian and all so for the sake of future generations! HOOOOO!

The Force Unleashed

Last night I downloaded the 904mb demo of the Force Unleashed onto my 360. This happens to be the coolest game I have ever played...EVAR! The graphics are stunning as is the gamelay. Using the force to hurl objects makes me felling like a human gauss cannon...I had a boygasm.

IN the game (spoiler alerts!!!!!!) you start out as Vader's secret Sith Apprentice and are his secret assassin. To avoid discovery from the Emperor you have to kill EVERTHING you see from the proto Rebel alliance troopers to Stormtroopers. Eventually you have to make a choice ala KOTOR to follow the Light or the Dark side. If you follow the Light you become a Jedi and help found the Rebel Alliance. If you follow the Dark side you strike down Vader and bcome the new Sith Lord. Like I said...AWESOME!

At first I did not want to play this game. I hate force users, all of them, especially Jedi and Sith. I tend to be more Mando/Mudane in the Star Wars Universe. In Star Wars Galaxies I unlocked three jedis and sold all three of them. I just did not like being a Force User. This game might change that...

Now I need to get a napkin...

Gamer thought process

I recently started up on DnD after a 12 year hiatis but some things never change

My first foray

This is my first foray in the wilds known as the blogosphere but like the Iranian space program my motto is "I may not have been first, second, third or by Allah even forty seventh but I'm here now so show some respect!"

So a little about me: I am a father, husband, loco, computer gamer, football lover, role player and a history buff. THere is more toit than that but that's where it begins. I am finishing my 2nd BS in history and should be starting post grad work come next August at USU. I tend to be a little anal about history and cultural studies which doesn't jive with my conservative nature.

Speaking of that I am a conservative born of a liberal mother. What that means is I will speak my views no matter how unpopular or uninformed they are...I will be posting on the election, Obama, McCain and a bunch of other topics.
