Sequence (3/5) - DDR meets RPG
I got this game (for free) from Kick-Starting "There Came an Echo" (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iridiumstudios/there-came-an-echo-0)
This game is good if you enjoy music and have a good sense of beat which I totally lack. A great simple game non the less with very witty remarks.

Nexuiz (?/5) - ???
A game that I got during the THQ package sale during Christmas (too bad THQ was cut up and sold). The game came with 3 installs. Nexuiz, Nexuiz Beta, and Nexuiz Stupid Mode (not sure what this is about but I will review it eventually).
So the game is a Online Shooter game that shows what the game is like when you first load it up (demo) but when I actually tried to play a game I didn't find any open games and when I created a game no one showed up for 5 min. Will put this game on the backlog to try again sometime.

Gratuitous Space Battles (3/5) - ???
Well this game was free on Steam for a few days and I thought I give it a try. A space simulation game of a battle. You carefully pick your fleet and configuration of each ship. This is a game where you cannot do anything but wait for the battle to play out once you have started the battle. Initially it is a fun game but takes time to learn all the core and things that you can do.

Fruit Basket (2/5) - See previous post
Interesting anime. A slow paced anime that really didn't have much going on till the last 2 episode that didn't fit in with the rest of the series.

Linq Problem at work - 
So I encountered a Linq problem at work. Here the layout.


3 table as followed
Table A links to Table B on a 1:1 relationship
Table C links to Table A on a 0:Many relationship

I need to pull A + B (since 1:1 relationship) + C (latest row (assume timestamp)) if C is blank then still show A+B for that row also where 1 column in A = X (a random value) and B = Y (another random value)

Games: Path of Exile (FREE) - http://www.pathofexile.com/

A game that has a unique concept that you get "GEMS" that are ability that are used in game instead of the traditional magic system. The gems level up with exp and get stronger. The game also employs a passive system grid that you can gain extra stuff like life, armor, etc (Final Fantasy X)

Anime:

Fruit Basket - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fruits_Basket
(Too Lazy to write out what it is about, read the plot) An interesting anime. Small simple story line.

Darker Than Black - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darker_than_Black
Another typical anime where there are people who get abnormal power and use them for destruction. Short and simple to follow and watch within one day.

New Monitor

Well I finally got the monitor off my roommate (who hasn't came back from India) and set it up. Now I have a 23" to play games on and a 27" to watch movies on.

In other news dinner last night was fantastic. 3 flavor chicken wings. Extra Spicy, BBQ Chili, and Garlic Honey. So easy to make at half the cost of eating out.
