Macs, games, and football

I have to say, Apple seems a little desperate. Why oh why do they have to rely on degrading the opponent for their commercials? They seem to have to say that PC = bad and headaches, while saying very little else about themselves. It is almost as if they don't want to compare themselves, for fear that the truth of how they compare may be shown. Come on Apple, stop it with these stupid commercials, and instead be like what Microsoft has done, show your strong points.

Anyways, time to talk football! I love the way the Longhorns looked on Saturday. They played a strong game, and looked great doing it. I loved the first half. My only problem with this game was Colt's interception. Very sad.

I have also been hearing a lot about how people are chatting, saying that the UT/OU game was very sloppy. I know saying this now is a little late, by two weeks, but I don't care. If this was a SEC game, those same people would be praising it as a defensive battle, which it was. Sure, it was sloppy, but that is classic SEC style. The defenses were the stars of that show.

On to games! So, my school has a club called LAG. They meet every so often to play games, usually zombie games, and have tons of fun. Well, at the last one we played a game called Zombie Maze, a custom map on Halo 3. It is hilariously awesome. Pretty much the survivors have to make their way through three areas that are part of a giant maze and have to reach an exit door. There, one of the people has to face a keypad on the wall while the others carry on with the zombie killing while the guy facing the keypad puts down his controller and goes to do three tangrams. These three tangram puzzles represent figuring out the code to escape.

This is harder than it sounds. Even when we had seven people protecting the decoder, the tangrams killed us. those things are hard! The closest we got was finishing two after trying for ten minutes. It was pathetic looking. We never escaped.

If you own Halo 3, I seriously suggest getting this map, especially if you have many friends who like fun too.

Texas Football!

So, just got done watching the football game today, and I got to say, I am very happy, yet disappointed. Colt McCoy, after that horrible interception, had a very nice game afterward. Three touchdown passes, good amount of yards, and only one turnover from him. Happy. His heisman campaign is about on track for at least getting into the top three. He needs to step it up for the rest of the season to have a good chance.

So far, Cal did bad, so I am not sure how that guy is doing, I am assuming his stock is going down, and Tebow was hurt, so his will either go down, stay the same since he had a good day, or go up because people will feel sorry for him... hopefully it will go down or stay the same. I feel bad for saying it, but I do kinda hope they keep him out of the next game just for precautionary reasons, but he isn't hurt bad. I am assuming it was a minor concussion.

As for our defense, IMPRESSIVE. There were a few horrible plays that souldn't have happened, but overall, if they play like they did today, then I could seriously see a national championship easy.

On to other business. I found another game that is AWESOME! The game is called Okami, and it is just beautiful. The game design is nice, the graphics are gorgeous, and the story is interesting. Like most games, the normal battles are kind of repetitive, but the boss battles that I have ran into so far are very intriguing, you can go at them a few different ways and each is unique. I would suggest picking it up if you like adventure games. It is similar to Zelda.

Welp, guess that is enought for now.

Peace,
