  My Baby

  If you know me even slightly well, you know that I'm in love with cars. I haven't been up to snuff since I entered university, but my love for cars has definitely not left me.

  It stands to reason then, that I would buy Forza 3. I dumped hooooooours into Forza 2 and I just about did a back flip when I got my copy of 3 in the mail.

  I've been racing, yes, and I'm pretty darn good too (usually in the top 1% -- not bad for using fulling auto ) but I've been spending a lot of time painting my cars and taking pictures of them which is more than a little addictive. I've been trying to upload videos to forzamotorsport.net but like a lot of people, it just hasn't been working.

  In any case I thought I'd share with you my baby of the moment. It's a Lotus Evora, and man is it a pretty car. In general I'm a fan of Lotus as they take small engines and get amazing performance out of them, and in my opinion, make some of the best handling cars on the planet. After I realized I was definitely going to drive this car for a long time, I thought I'd spruce it up. After I found some cool vinyls of a chick from Evangelion, I painted up the rest of the car around her. The result is pretty cool, and if I really wanted it to be awesome I could spend more time on the tear effects, but I'm too lazy.

  Enough with the talking, here she is! (Note you should probably click on the picture to see the full size shot for the best quality).

  
  
  
  
  

  So there you have it! I hope none of you thought Nathalie and I got pregnant or something...although I suppose it may have made for an more interesting blog. I'll be trying to post some more now that some of the tougher tests are out of the way in school, so don't miss me too much.

  Have a good one!

  New Avatar...and Happy Birthday to me!

  I'm standardizing my avatar across all of my game website accounts, and gamespot's was the last to be converted. I personally like this one a lot more and it will probably stay this for a very loooong time.

  In other news I'm up to my neck in mid terms and assignments so don't be surprised if I slightly drop off the face of the earth for a while.

  Also, Tuesday (about 30 minutes from now my time) is my 21st birthday! I'm pretty pumped, although it's not like the states where drinking because legal, since here in Canada it's 19. Regardless, it's a pretty big birthday and it makes me feel old haha.

  

  That's all for now guys and gals, hope all is well with you!

  How many of you out there still read my blog?

  I'm just curious as to how many people are still stopping by to read my blog. I know that not everyone who reads it, comments on it, but there's been a decline lately and so I'm just wondering who's still around. I know a lot of it has to do with the decline in the visiting of gamespot in the first place, so I'm not really surprised.

  I'm inching towards migrating my blog to Giantbomb, simply because there seems to be less and less of my friends kickin' around here a great deal. I'd still come back to read up on everone but posting long blogs isn't as fun for me when I don't get to talk to all of my readers.

  So who do I still have with me out there? I've had such a great time here, that I'd rather it not end. I've made a bunch of great friends here (you know who you are...I hope hahaha) and I would like to thank you all for being a repeat customer to my often spectacularly boring blogs.

  

  Have a good one,
