Stationary Joystick

Welcome back to Stationary Joystick! This is a quick little episode recorded on a beautiful – but very cold – Saturday morning in Wisconsin. Topics:

• Transferring schools sucks. Gen-eds, gen-eds, and more gen-eds…
• Hong Kong vs. RAing. Can’t go wrong either way.
• The Seventh Seal.
• Automata exhibit. A poor attempt at explaining it. I guess I’m not very good at talking about art…

Like the oddly uncharacteristic consistency of episode output lately? So do I! That’s why I will continue to do it, even if the topics are rather inane. Stay tuned, and thanks for listening!

As promised, here is the second installment to complement the last episode of Stationary Joystick and hopefully fill you in a little more on what happened during the downtime. Actually, I kind of just start to ramble off about Winter Break topics right away, so a lot still needs to be said. This episode is almost an hour long, though, so quite a few things get discussed:

• Opening song (if you can even hear it): Uyama Hiroto – “One Dream”
• Video game talk! This podcast finally lives up to it’s name. Basically, all you need to know is that this is the list of the best video games ever: 1) Harvest Moon, 2) Marble Madness and 3) River City Ransom. Thank you and good night!
• People who park in the driveway right against the garage door. Are they just inconsiderate or do they really not “get it”? Is this even worth mentioning?
• Five Guys. Deliciousness. Also, State Street in Madison. And on that note, Chin’s is terrible.
• Authentic Chinese food. This should be obvious, but it’s way better than American-Chinese food.
• AT&T sucks. Or maybe it’s just my phone? Too bad I can’t upgrade anymore…

Finally, a new episode of Stationary Joystick! No, it’s not dead. Yes, I wasn’t waiting with anticipation for the return either…Unfortunately this is a pretty short (25 min.) episode, so I didn’t get to talk about much. I’ve still got a lot of catching up to do with you the listener, so I’m hoping to record another one of these before the new semester starts. A few show notes:

• Opening song: Beyond – “Bye Bye”
• My old boss got fired. I wasn’t planning to go back to the video store anyway…
• The Real World: D.C.
• My new job, and some small hockey talk.
