So the year is finally winding down and I realize that I failed at trying to keep up with my blog. It was a pretty busy semester, and I'm glad to finally be able to sit down and take a break. There have been a lot of videogames I've been waiting to nerd out on that I haven't had time with.

So far I'm loving it. Zelda: Skyward Sword is an awesome experience with a strong nostalgic sense tied along with it. Never before has the game been so interactive, with the Wii motion plus controller giving great sword play. My favorite of the series was definitely Majora's Mask on the N64, that Demi-Link character was a beast at the end of the game. Skyward Sword shows again that there is more to games than crazy graphics, long live Zelda the member of the Video Game Hall of Fame!
Then there is Skyrim.......what can I say about Skyrim that hasn't already been said. This is by far easily one of the best games that has ever been made. The entire world is so massive and completely open, you can truly run around for hours (accompanied by some of the most epic video game music of all time) and never get bored. From dungeon crawling while fleeing from Draugr Deathlords, to epic outdoor battles taking on massive fire-breathing dragons and sucking their souls, the game truly is an experience. I'm sure this will be a very popular gift this year for Christmas.
I had a pretty awesome time this last week though. My band, Lenora Sol, finally got to play a show at a bar called Jakes, and it went really well. We played with: A Main Street Marvel, Cleany Ohm, and Stay Sane. We opened up the show and, even though there wasn't really a crowd, we had a great time playing and meeting the other bands.
A few days later I went down to T&A Bar and Chill with some friends to catch another Stay Sane set. These guys are a local Lubbock Reggae band with a really tight sound. I was really jealous to find out that their bass player was still just a senior in High School, since we're finding it impossible to find a bass player, but then was just impressed when I found out he was the guitar players little brother. You should check em out sometime if they ever play somewhere nearby, they jam pretty hard.
