Tripwire Garden

Little to talk about.

Wang showed me a game he discovered based on the hidden minigame in Project Gotham Racing 2 called Geometry Wars. The game's called Grid Wars, and it's addictive as all hell. The description that everyone seems to agree on is "Asteroids on crack", the first thing I said to Wang when he showed me it (we then Googled a review of it and the summary was exactly "Asteroids on crack", by an interesting coincidence; in fact, a review of Geometry Wars is the first search result for "Asteroids on crack"). Just goes to show that gameplay is once again > graphics.

In other news, Google now offers a hosting service for members of Gmail. 100mb of space, ad-free... sounds like a deal to me. This essentially doubles my available web space (including the 100mb provided by my university), which is certainly nice. What'd be even better is to scrounge up another hard drive and run my own web server, but Case's outgoing speed may be prohibitive to that sort of endeavor...

Regardless, I have reading to do for SAGES now that requires my attention more than the intertron. With photography trouble and now drama with regards to our housing situation for next year, things have been a bit hectic. Time to sit back and fall asleep doing my reading assignment.
