This is a list of games I finished this weekend:

1. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
2. Mirror’s Edge

Today I decided that, from now on, I am only allowed to play Team Fortress 2 on days that contain the letter “t”. So Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays are TF2 Days.

Hopefully this will encourage me to do something productive like… finishing all the other games in my Steam library.

There is game I like to play when walking to and from places. It doesn’t have a name… or a point, but it’s something to do while I walk.

The Game

Pick out an object a few feet in front of your path. It can be a stick, puddle, or crack. Whatever. Just pick one out.

Then guess whether you will step on it with your left foot or your right foot.

If you guess correctly, you win and you get to say “FUCK YEAH” to yourself, in your head.

If you guess incorrectly, you lose and you only get to say “FUCK”.

And that’s it.

Observations

Here are two related observations I’ve made while playing this game:

1. You will come up with a guess you are pretty sure of within a second. It will probably be correct.
2. If it takes more than a second or you can’t make up your mind, you will step over the object.

There’s probably some scientific term for that second phenomenon but I don’t feel like researching it.

So that’s it. This is the type of stuff I come up with when I’m bored.

So I was sitting around yesterday bored out of my mind. Seriously. I started staring at the fish on my desktop.

I was trying to look for something to do. Searched DC++ for some games to play, didn’t really work. Tried to watch a movie, wasn’t in the mood. Do homework? It was a Saturday. No one does homework on Saturday.

Then I thought, I kinda want to learn Blender and 3D modeling and texturing. You know, do some animation and game programming. If I wanted to do animation, I’d have to learn some video editing. And for game programming, I’d have to learn DirectX programming and more C++. So, I ended up making a list of stuff I wanted to learn.

The List

• DirectX
• Advanced Game Programming
• More C++
• Blender/3D Modeling/Textures
• Basic Animation
• Basic Video Editing
• iPhone App Development
• Android Development

Yeah that’s a lot of stuff but it’ll give me something to do if I ever fall into “help I’m bored out of my mind” state again. If it ever does happen I can just refer to the list and google up some tutorials.

I tried to start learning Blender but Windows 7 had some problems with it and I didn’t feel like booting up the Vista partition. So I just spent the rest of the day doing nothing.

Yeah I know. I’m lazy. I should probably actually try to accomplish stuff on the list instead of just making one for fun but you know what? Screw you. Just keeeeding. Haha.

I think I’ll start with DirectX/Game/C++.
