So, it's been a rather quiet couple of weeks around Nut Punch. I just returned from a sabbatical during which I studied the mythology of Greek, Norse and Egyptian cultures. I also spent time in the Philippines, Guadalcanal, Normandy and on my couch. It was revitalizing, let me tell you.

The mythological studies were first on my agenda. I discovered no matter how much they try, Norse cultures cannot compete against the wrath of Zeus and his meteor showers. Similarly, Egyptians are allergic and crumble at the presence of locusts. As Gregorius, I became supreme ruler of the Ancient World. Of course, this was all while playing Age of Mythology. A rather old game according to most gamers, I'm sure. I find it a fun way to spend an hour or two; building my own civilizations and crushing others. Seriously, that meteor shower thing is damn righteous to drop on a town. It's utterly devastating.

When not crushing civilizations and exercising my god-like powers, I was shooting Japs and Krauts in Medal of Honor: Allied Assault and Rising Sun. Cool games. Again, old by most gamer standards, but oh well. Did you know a Kraut's head explodes when you place a single shot from a Thompson right between his Nazi eyes? You do now. By the way I know "kraut" and "jap" are not the preferred nomenclatures here, but in the games that is what they refer to the enemy as. So get over it.

Why so much gaming? (which is highly out of the ordinary for me, by the way) I was graced with a brand new 19" LCD monitor for Christmas. It rules the school, kids.

As you may have noticed, I really have little to contribute yet after my extended time away from society. The holidays came and went with stress and much whiskey involved. So if you're one of the few people with an RSS feed to this blog, please PLEASE do not unsubscribe based on the content (or lack thereof) in this post. I'm trying to find my muse. Stay tuned for something more interesting like a diatribe on Jesus' Birthday or something cool like that.
