ave you been wondering what happened to twentysix.net in the past few days? Well, this pic here is what happened. Jeff's Game Man. Someone caught wind of it and decided to post the link to his page on Slashdot. Since millions of nerds read that page, millions of nerds tried to get to the page, flooding the server. Unfortunately, the quickest resolution to the problem was to delete Jeff's account on my server, and well, that's just the way it's gonna have to be for now.

I'm very proud of Jeff, both for the great project he created, and also for being the first person I know to ever have their site get slashdotted. But I do feel bad that his site ultimately had to be deleted... none of the rest of us twentysixers could even get our email during this time. And I'm glad that I got to play with the Game Man. I posted this pic on the riceboard and someone responded with "woah! You got mad hookups! I saw that somewhere else and now you have one!?" haha. No, I just happened to know the guy that made it.

I
t seems that I've really slowed down on my DVD reviews lately. Not to fear though. I've taken action, not only to increase the number of reviews I put up, but also to cut down on the 48 movies in my Netflix queue. Last night I upgraded myself to the 8-movie-out-at-one-time Netflix service so I can have 8 movies out instead of just 3. I decided for at least one month I'll pay the extra fee and go on a DVD watching rampage. So watch for it!
What else is going on? Oh yeah, I picked up a game called "Max Payne" for PC this week. It's actually kind of old, but it's super fun. It's a shooting game where you can engage "bullet time", like Matrix style slow motion. Very fun because you can jump through a door in slow motion with a pistol in each hand blazing like you're in some kind of John Woo movie. Very addictive. Unfortunately, it's kind of a short game and I ended up beating it in like 2 days. But it's still fun. I'm trying the harder skill level now.
And that's about it for today. Sorry, not much exciting has really been going on in my life.
