I wish I had a hot roommate.
Did I ever mention that last spring semester Allison once asked to be my apartment mate? I searched for apartments late and she found some other place before then. I really do wonder what her intentions were.
Lately I've been watching a lot of speed-runs through old-school video games on NES and SNES. This includes tool-assisted ones on emulators as well as normal playing. For those interested, the normal speed-runs can be found and the tool-assisted ones can be found . These are some dedicated video-gamers! I cannot even imagine what it'd be like to play a game at 5% speed, playing the game a frame at a time, and re-recording 10k+ times! Some of these "projects" take a month or more to complete!
I've also been taking a few days hiatus from poker in general. To replace it, I've been watching more movies and playing more video games. My current run has been beating all the Star Wars games for NES and SNES. I've already completed Super Star Wars and Super Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back, so I only have three more to go (two NES versions, and Return of Jedi). Prior to the Star Wars run, I've made Rock 'N Roll Racing a far more challenging game by not upgrading to certain cars while playing on the highest difficulty (Warrior setting). I even wrote for a guide for winning on Warrior difficulty on . (To find my guide, you have to search for the game - the site doesn't allow direct linking.)
The last set of SNGs I played was Dec. 20. Here's my stats up to then:
**************
**CUMULATIVE**
**************
75 SNGs
$1067 buy-in+fees
$1825 winnings
$758 net profit
71.04% ROI
I love this crazy run on PokerRoom!
