Ground Zero revisited.

It's me again! My sporadic urges to post on the blog have therefore yet again, resulted in a few random thoughts being digitized and pixellated for your reading pleasure(?).

I guess it's just fair to post today, especially since its the last day of a wonderful year gone by. Time to reflect:

1 - My X-box was bought in Feb this year. I have since bought 75 titles for the X-Box. Man thats alot of money - now that i think back :-)
2 - I bought a PSP (Play Station Portable)
3 - I was madly in love with a woman who threw it all away.
4 - I have my own blog and people know me!
5 - My blog is the first listing on Google if you type my name in quotes (thereby forcing an exact match)
6 - My grandmum passed away in November. God bless her soul. She was a lovely woman and a WW II veteran.
7 - I've found someone new. I guess thats where the term "New and Improved" comes from after all!

So as you can see, there's obviously quite alot thats happend with me this year. From almost getting married to almost buying a ticket for 18000 rupees to go to Bombay to see the Skoar! gaming expo. But in the end its all worked out well...i guess. I mean im not complaining about whats happened. In fact, whatever's happened has led to something better happening to me. Like buying the PSP, resulted in me buying Burnout Legends!

Just a few words for the people who have made this year so special for me. I know you may never get to read this - but still, you've been great influences this year and i'll never forget you.

1 - Mom & Dad and my brother. For all the obvious and not so obvious reasons. You guys are amazing people and i am what i am because of what you've taught us kids. Brother - you've been the mmost amazing dude i've ever known. I hope your new band is much better than the older dickheads you were playing with.
2 - Anu. You loved me while you did and then just let go of me. I cant say that the time with you was horrible, but you've left a bitter taste in my mouth. Thanks for the wonderful times I spent with you. But i've moved on now.
3 - Krishnan. Dude! How can i not include you in this list!? You've been a great buddy and a great inspiration for a fellow gamer. Just so you know - at the time of writing this, i'm playing POP:TTT. I've reached the part where Farah finds out im the Sand Wraith/Dark Prince. And the harem bitch-boss was just too much fun! Thanks for being a great friend and talking to me when things were'nt going well for me.
4 - Nitin, Vivek & Pradeep. Guys, you 3 are the best gang I could ever ask for. All those beer sessions and wild Burnout sessions were the best part of this year.
5 - Saved the best for last. Arti. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for pulling me out of the shit-hole i'd driven myself into. Thank you for those wild fights in and out of office. And thank you for being who you are. You're a mirror image of me and you mean alot. More than you could think. More than i could imagine.

I love you guys!!!

Oh - did I mention? I beat Half Life 2 on the X-Box last week. What an amazing game this one is! Though I was a bit disappointed with the ending, but what the hell...it made for interesting gameplay and a good sequel/conclusion?!

So thats about it I guess. Cant think of anything else right now. But when I do, it'll be here!

Happy new year!!!

Xbox, PSP, 75 games, blog, Google SERPs, Burnout Legends, "someone new". Is the term "materialistic weasel" ringin' a bell? :-D Well, for my part, glad to have made SOME list that doesn't start with the words "hit" or "shit". That's gotta count for SOMETHING.... I think. And yeah, talking about HL2 and a sequel, dont hold your breath. I mean it, the only competition Valve has in the release date department is with 3DR and DNF. These two stalwarts are a model for anyone trying to get a software release out in time. Expect a Steam-only Episode 1 in April (did you notice that two positives "Yeah" and "Right" can combine to make a negative? :-D) and the other Episodes may be our grand kids will be able to play.
