FPS Rantings

Meme mia! Time for a meme

by Mike on July 4th, 2007

Meme Mia!I got tagged by my friend Mel for a meme, so I guess I have to humor him. The rule is seven random facts about one’s self:

  1. I used to be an amateur basketball coach in our district. Yes, your friendly-neighborhood ranter used to stay at the sidelines, screaming oaths at a group of hormonally-imbalanced teens who can’t play under a team concept even if their lives depended on it.
  2. Playing Half-Life 2 for long periods gives me a terrible headache. If I chose to continue, my most recent meal would seek to exit my body through my kisser.
  3. I have obsessive-compulsive tendencies. No, not the way a meticulous person would describe himself so that other people would find it cute. I’m talking about folding-hamburger-wrappers-neatly-after-eating-its-contents, and placing-books-and-CDs-in-a-90-degree-angle sort of way.
  4. I like the Spice Girls.
  5. I have a collection of game boxes at home. I can’t bear part with anything and everything that a game came with. Ever.
  6. I’m a member of Toastmasters, an organization devoted to developing speaking and leadership skills.
  7. I was suckered on buying S.T.A.L.K.E.R. the week it came out. I waited six years for it, but I’ve yet to play the game longer than 10 minutes.

Now I have to find seven more people to tag for the meme. Here’s the list:

Erin at Play-Girlz
Amber at The Adventuress
Patrick at Play Gadgets
Al Ewing at Re: Retro
Spencer at Silicon Era
Kris at Games Industry Wire
Leora at Sims Gamer

P.S.
Noticed anything new about the blog? How about the spanking new design? I’m loving it. How about you?

P.S.2
I’ve informed the people above regarding the meme. Sorry for semi-spamming your soapboxes.

    D’oh! I’ve never gone that far, Klopzi old buddy. I just love their songs and the way their voices blend (even if they don’t have particularly outstanding singers).

    Now that you mentioned the movie, I think I should have a look if I can rent it somewhere. Seriously. It’s a guilty pleasure.

    Hey! I love the Spice Girls, too! They’re so awesome.

    Nothing wrong loving the Spice Girls really. It’s just a bit “different” when a guy confesses it. And said guy blogs about video games and used to coach basketball.

    It’s almost like a guy confessing that he listens to Streisand. Then again, nothing is as worse as a guy listening to Streisand.

    Thanks for tagging me, but I usually don’t post up any personal stuff about me on Siliconera. Thanks for the thought though!
