Appendicitis…..holy crap!

So I get a IM last night:
“Hello this is *****’s roommate, he had appendicitis with a ruptured appendix, and will be in the hostpital a few days”
I mean…..WOW….how can you reacte to that, this person is a good friend, as far as online friends go. We have played a lot of poker, chatted about a [...]

RockBand, the perfect game? (as in Perfect Storm)

First, Guitar Hero….. Proves to the industry that playing a plastic guitar kinda like Dance Dance Revolution is not just fun, but highly addictive.
Second, the Wii proves that 4 adults are ready to stand in front of the TV and console system and play a game.
Lastly for sometime downloadable content has been around, but seemed [...]

Who am I?

Cinomed is demonic backwards, nothing really implied there, just something rather unique I came up with when I first got online back in the late 90’s.
I am a Gamer, a Father, a Husband, a small L libertarian, former Raver, totally a geek.
I spend a lot of time in Second Life, as Cinomed Tweak, and yes [...]

SWG, and the NGE…… and the mourning and gnashing of teeth.

I think I once blogged about SWG and the love I had for it post CU but pre NGE.
There was the standard “grind, level, loot” of any MMO, which I thought was really nice, considering the myriad of professions you could mix, making your character just your’s.
Then there was Jump to Lightspeed, a expansion that [...]

Gamer Update

Finished a Play by Email game of Civ4 with my father in-law, played surprisingly well considering the inherent lag.
I whooped him good, luckily ended up on the biggest continent with just Japan, crushed them and ended up with some 18 cities grinding out research.
We started a new game, lets see what happens.
City of Villains rolled [...]

Monday Gamer update! III

Still playing City of Villains nightly, GTA San Andreas occasionally, and online poker frequently.
But
Papa got a brand new bag!
I have mentioned before the sheer sick twisted and perverted joy I got out of Sims1 with the XXX hacks, skins, and animations I played with. I have found that again, online, with other folks playing, with [...]

Penny Arcade, the undisputed Web Comic Gods in my humble opinion

Yes, I realize some people may not get all their jokes, I admit that I am sometimes out of the loop a bit to really get a few of them. But come on, “Gabe” and “Tycho” have a track record of being the funniest yet uncouth, yet lowbrow and highbrow gaming slanted comic, ever.

Lets take [...]

Money for Nothin' and your Chips for free!

As I recently admitted I have finally caught the “Online Poker” bug, and as long as you practice a little restraint there is nothing wrong with playing poker online.
Today the Escapist Magazine looks at the world of Poker, how much it has changed, why, and what it is today.
They credit a major part of the [...]

Wednesday Gamer update.

GTA San Adreas, sweet game still, I enjoy an hour or so a night.
City of Villains, they added a new zone that Hero’s and Villains can go and hang out, non-PVP. They have missions that require at least one Villain and one Hero to complete, they even have power-ups you can buy that you can [...]

Monday Gaming update, or “Damn it’s good to be a Gangsta!”

Yeah I know it is Tuesday, yesterday was a little hectic.
Last week I went to Fry’s in search of a new game. No I am not the kind of gamer that goes to the store and buys the flashy box, but I have several games that have been out a while I would not mind [...]
