For those who remember playing the old PC or NES version of Maniac Mansion, Home of the Underdogs are hosting a graphical update to the game (a little better). While it does not offer the best NES soundtrack ever for the protagonists, it is still pretty cool to play. I spent a couple hours playing through it last night with Razor and Bernard. My only complaint, the timing of Nurse Edna leaving the kitchen is slightly different than the NES version leaving Razor to almost getting ass raped for a half hour in the dungeon until Bernard could get the Old Rusty Key, now that was lame. By the way, I decided that the Meteor Police was a fitting way to get rid of the meteor.

Update: Here is a Winamp plugin to play nsf files that you get get from the earlier link.

Classes have started up again nearly full steam ahead which is a change of pace and not something to be dreaded. In any case, not much has happened besides going out last weekend and probably drinking too much. I also rediscovered the problem of paying cash in a dimly lit bar, over tipping. I ended up giving a not bad, but not great looking bartender a $11 rather than a $2 tip at Plush. Then a few friends and I walked to Club Congress on the other side of the tracks and checked out some local live bands. Sort of disappointing when you pay a cover to listen to a lead singer run out of lyrics and start singing, "Dooo Doo Dooo Doooooo Do" in rhythm to the drums.

The next night was not much better. While I decided to be the designated driver, some friends and I decided after going to some bars that we should go check out the snow up at Mt. Lemmon at 1:45 am. We finally made it up to the top near Summerhaven by around 3:30 in the morning though one guy completely passed out in my car for the entire trip up despite up playing music much too loud for my cheap system to handle. The snow was pretty cool to see, some had just fallen so it was nice and pristine. I finally got back home at 5:30 in the morning to realize I couldn't sleep and spent an hour finishing up the movie Children of Heaven, which by the way is an excellent movie, I give it a perfect 5 Galaxies.

As some or all of you may know, I'll be flying back to the frigid North for Dan's wedding on Wednesday-Sunday. If I actually updated this blog frequently, you may notice that I may not post during that time, but I will try to get some wedding related pictures up along with finishing uploading the pictures from when my parents were down in Tucson as soon as I get back. I noticed that after uploading the pictures from Jenny and Greg's wedding, my site had a huge spike in traffic (relatively), so I can hope for the best .

Well I should be trying to get back to bed after my neighbors decided that it would be awesome to start yelling outside about going to a bar. No respect...
