Friday night I decided to partake in an old college favorite. My friends picked up a keg and invited the masses over for a beer pong tournament. The games were fast, furious, and intoxicating. My friend and I were knocked out in the second round, but it was a lot of fun...until my windshield got smashed.

You ever been at a party where a friend invites a friend, who in turn invites some friends? This is known as the party "recipe for disaster".

Well, it's been quite some time since I visited the CoG Blog area, let alone posted in my own blog. I've been wholly consumed by my XNA Cribbage project.

I have placeholder art and sound, but I'm unsure what I want the final product to look like or how complex I'm going to have the animation (I'm not exactly an artist).

It was creepy walking along the trails knowing that a pack of wolves could be trailing me or that I may come across a black bear. Having a loaded shotgun and a .38 on your side does offer comfort, but it's still unnerving.

This weekend went by entirely too fast.

I arrived at the family farm Friday evening at about 4pm. It was about 50 degrees and pissing rain; this isn't exactly the type of weather I was hoping for the weekend. That didn't stop us from hopping on the ATVs and tearing about the countryside though.

The weather improved slightly on Saturday. We sighted in our deer rifles, went through a few boxes of shells while trap shooting, and cleared our northern tree line, a half...
