Break Up or Break Open - the Dore is open

Broke up w/my 3 month bartender healer new-agey girlfriend on Monday. Painful. I knew it was happening b/c she basically emailed me the info. I was feeling similarly.

That was rough. I'm so glad I have friends like Dore to hang out with when things are rough. He's been in NYC for awhile, but I easily remember why we got along so well, b/c we had a blast. And it's not easy to have a blast while going thru a breakup. But hanging with someone wild like Dore sure helps!!

Gaming Escapes

Driven to distraction!!!

I'm stressing over my upcoming shortfilm (Driver) which we're shooting on 9/29 & 9/30. So what did I do? I bought a video game and stayed up til 5am messing with it!

The game ... sucked. Or to be kinder, it was not very fun. Galactic Civilization II - Dread Lords. It's a pretty version of Master of Orion II, which IMO was 'the classic' game -- and is avail for free now as a download! Crazy! The reason GalCiv II sucks IMO was b/c they forgot to make it EASY to play FAST. Keyboard shortcuts and SPEED are important to a gamer like me, who doesn't want to play for hours and hours... More like minutes.

So after the 5am gaming stint, what'd I do? I got more games off the 'net(this time for Treo 700p) and installed 'em.

And ... it's a sad thing to say in some ways ... I got kMoria and it's so much better than any new game I've played. Game makers should be embarassed!! Rogue-like games started off the 'Diablo' thang, but Rogue-likes are STILL simply IMO the best.

What they lack in graphics they make up for in STYLE and unpredictability. I can play the darn things over and over. I think they might be the first games made for computers, actually, and they're open source!

OK, enough dorking. But I had to post the links for anyone/everyone!
