My name is Kevin, but you can call me Mr. Tournament Director
I held a small tournament in my basement last Tuesday. There were seven contedners, including myself, Grant, Chanel, Dan, Sheena, Veebs, and Michalak. I had fun organizing the whole thing, and it went off pretty well aside from the fact that it went a little past midnight, and the final three were playing for over an hour without much action. I was one of the first ones out, but I allowed one rebuy for anyone who got knocked out in the first hour. I made it to third, and lost a really bad hand to Chris (my three aces lost to his flush), and I was crippled past that point. Michalak came second, and Chris came first. Next time I'm going to keep the blinds at twenty minute intervals. It seems a little fast at first, but it's necessary after a while.
I'm deeply considering doing this again, perhaps even once a week. I'm also considering calling it quits with the other guys on Wednesday nights if I do get this thing off the ground. I figure I'll have better odds, and if I lose it won't be nearly as much. The money I would normally lose with the other guys could be put towards something better. Of course, there's always that very slim chance that one of these nights I'll leave with more in my wallet than when I came, but I think that judging from the lsat 12 weeks, I can make a good guess that I won't. I guess I might as well finish off the summer since I'm already past halfway. I just hope I don't come in last place!
As I suspected, I've lost all desire to play my PS2 games, opting to fall victim to the allure of portable gaming. I'm going to try my damndest to put the whole thing off until I get to school. I figure I might save ten or fifteen bucks if I wait til Walmart/FutureShop/Amazon has a sale, and Waterloo probably has more pawn shops with a better selection of games. I'm surprised the Nintendo DS hasn't forced a price drop in the GBA already.
Work is getting very monotonous now. Every day it's the same thing, at a different school. It's a bloody shame that I'm unable to do the classrooms in so many of the schools. Most of the computers in the rooms are either dragged out into the hall, or otherwise nowhere near an outlet. I get out of work at about 2:30, even though I'm supposed to be there til 4. Hey, don't look at me like that. I don't take any breaks outside of lunch when I start work, and like I said, once the lab is done, there are rarely any classrooms that I'm able to finish. All I know is that I'm going to have a hectic last week in August, when the custodians will hopefully have the classrooms done.
I've got to find someone who can pick a game out of a list for me, and keep nagging me to finish it, otherwise I'll never finish anything. Haha, because obviously, it is absolutely vital to my life to finish video games from beginning to end. Ratchet and Clank has gotten to the part where I get too frustrated dying at the same part over and over, and I sincerely doubt I can finish FFX-2, with the terrible plot, characters, and script.
