Back To Caching

Emma and I are back at it.  Geocaching in this weather doesn't take effort, just availability, which Emma and I had in droves.  It's so much fun to spend time with Emma these days.  The eight year old has passion, she WANTS to do fun things together and geocaching  is an activity we can agree on.  We found a few caches and checked up on a couple dad has hidden.  Quorra got out on he first geocaching adventrue too.  She loves being outside and rolling around in the stroller.  Emma loves pushing the stroller, so it all works out!

100 Days of 12

Can you believe we've been through almost one third of 2012?  Well, 100 days of it at least.  It's hard to believe that my baby (born Nov '11) could be 100 days old, but here we are watching the year pass by.  In honor of the occasion, I challenge you to hug your kids 100 times, give your spouse a 100 second kiss and go soak up the sun for 100 minutes (with sunblock please) 'casue that's what I'm going to do.

Zoopraxiscope

Another nifty Google doodle today in honor of photographer Eadweard Muybridge who pioneered the art of stop motion photography through his efforts to better understand the movement of animals.  Click on the doodle to enjoy a representation of his most famous work which allowed him to settle what was then the hotly debated question of whether a horse at speed ever has all four hooves off the ground at the same time.  I suggest pursuing more knowledge of Muybridge as his influence on modern cinema, art, and zoology are impressive.

A Different Effect

I started up Mass Effect again - the original - which I'd cast aside several years ago.  I bought it back in 2008.  At that time, besides a confusing attempt at Kingdom Hearts and a similar experience with KOTOR, this was my first foray into RPG's and I wasn't happy with it. The game drove me bonkers and I'd put it on the shelf before I finished the first level.

Since that time I've been drawn into the Fallout games and L.A. Noire. I've played each of them for hundreds of hours and loved every minute. With all the news brewing around the conclusion of Mass Effect 3, I decided this might be an ideal time to go back to the original Mass Effect. This time around has been a night and day experience. I can easily understand the games original appeal.

The story runs deep, the characters are compelling and the environments are outstanding. The game is starting to show its age, but it started at such a high level of visual quality and interaction it's hard to criticize it now.  I'm still not entirely impressed with the mechanics of the action sequences. Simple shooting seems clumsy and trying to manage weapons is a pain to say the least, but the AI is decent and the frags feel good.  There does seem to be almost too much dialogue especially when the story is sweet enough to drive you to explore the entire dialogue tree.

The bottom line is: the game is solid and promises so much.  I look forward to letting Commander Shepard take the Normandy (great name and beautiful vessel) through the vast reaches of space.
