I know this is random, but I just wanted to share a love for one of my favorite late night meals. It starts with a jalapeno cheddar tortilla, then a few slices of provolone cheese, a handful of pepperonis and a few slices of ham. Toss it in the microwave for a bit and you end up with something way better tasting than a Hot Pocket. I eat them without any sauces, but I imagine it wouldn’t taste bad with some pizza sauce added to the mix.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been one of my favorite actors since I first saw (500) Days of Summer in theaters, so when I heard he wrote, directed and starred in the movie Don Jon I knew I’d want to see it.
This afternoon Vanessa and I saw Don Jon and we enjoyed it greatly. It tells the story of a man (Jon) who is obsessed with (and addicted to) internet porn and the “one way street” experience it offers (this becomes a theme of sorts in the movie). He’s practically able to have intercourse with any woman he wants on any given night, however nothing compares to the rush of internet porn.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays the character Jon perfectly and offers plenty of laughs throughout the movie alongside the more serious struggle of Jon’s inability to understand the importance of a “two way street” relationship. Much like (500) Days of Summer Gordon Levitt’s character has grown by the close of the film, overcoming a variety of struggles and heartbreak on the way to a ‘feel good’ ending.
I definitely recommend Don Jon to anyone looking for a feel good movie.
I’ve recently started to play around with streaming to Twitch in the typical ‘Let’s Play’ video format, and I find it adds a bit of enjoyment to playing games. Even though I know for a fact no one is watching my streams it still feels different to be playing in front of a “potential” (however unlikely) audience, whether it being someone watching the live stream or watching the recorded video on YouTube later.
I’m using OBS to stream and record my videos locally. I may put together a sort of tutorial video in the future for those who want to see exactly what the process looks like (it’s not incredibly difficult, but it may not be common sense either). Anyway, for whatever reason the actual stream on Twitch of this video was pretty choppy and ugly looking. I was downloading a few things on Steam and on my Xbox so I’m hoping that’s the culprit and next time the stream will look better.
For now, enjoy my first “Let’s Play” video for Dead Island, and feel free to follow me on Twitch [http://www.twitch.tv/jdh5153] (I’ll follow back).
The mic audio needs adjusted, I didn’t realize it was that low until after I uploaded it to YouTube.
I’ve started a new blog which you can find at lootit.net or in the RSS widget to the right. It’s going to focus almost entirely on World of Warcraft and Guild Wars 2, so if you’re interested in those games maybe you’ll want to check it out. It’s still in its infancy, so any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks for your time 🙂
I haven’t made a post in awhile which makes me mad because I want this blog to be pretty steady. The truth is, I’ve been busy and then I was sick for a week. Not only with video games (Mass Effect 3 has a lot of my attention right now) but also with preparing for graduation from tech school. I graduate on 12 April and have to make all of the necessary preparations to outprocess, go home on leave, and inprocess into my first duty station. Sort of stressful.
Hopefully I’ll have some time to blog soon, I’d like to make a post or two this weekend yet so we’ll see how things go.
I thought I’d give this WordPress thing a try, so here I am. I’m 24, I have a BA in English and am currently in tech school in the United States Air Force for avionics. I’m lucky enough to get paid to go to school and have some time here and there to play video games. I’m currently home over Christmas exodus which is nice.
I’m mainly an Xbox 360 gamer, but I also play iPhone games and a handful of PC games (mainly MMORPGs). Right now I’m into Star Wars: The Old Republic, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3, and RAGE.
Anyway I hope to update this blog as time permits.
Later.
