Have you read the drivel Dubious Dave has foisted upon us this
time? Go ahead, read it first then come back. I'll wait . . . .
. . . . . . .
Usually, I let the frizzy-headed wonder come up with the ideas
for these bombastic battles so he can appear a lot more cerebral
than he really is, but -- clearly -- I've failed.
Anyone that has taken the time to actually read (instead of imitate)
my December TechTalk columns knows that I've already been down this
path in the guise of the Bermie Awards, which are given to what
I consider to be the best techie products of the year.
But, alas, it appears I'll have to respond with more favorites.
Best roleplaying game -- Although I find most
RPGs to be deadly boring and repetitive (I have a problem sticking
with them for more than an hour or two), the best this year has
to be, unfortunately, Neverwinter Nights. Yep, I agree with old
frizzy dome on this one, but the choice was a no-brainer. Nothing
really came close!
Best Playsation 2 / Xbox / Gamecube game -- Don't
use them, but if he wants to spend his time turning people into
chickens, more power to him!
Best TechTalk article -- All of 'em!
Best Berman vs. Berman article -- None of them!
Best Berman vs. Berman quote --" I knew this
was coming. I saw the signs --- the frizzy hair, erratic movements,
too much caffeine --- but I didn't expect it would happen this soon!"
Best personal moment -- Dave announcing he finally
got his own place - - - many miles from here!
Happy holidays, and best wishes for a healthy and happy 2003. |
Now
while I haven't been particularly nice this year, it doesn't really
matter -- I'm Jewish and Hanukkah Harry doesn't keep a list. I'll
be nice once Mike grows hair.
That having been said, I'd like to take this opportunity to revisit
this past year and talk about the best of 2002.
Best roleplaying game -- Neverwinter Nights for
the PC. Despite getting mixed reviews, this was quite the game.
It also comes with a toolset that allows you to build additional
campaigns. It's easy to do and kept my interest for several months.
Best Playsation 2 / Xbox / Gamecube game -- Ratchet
and Clank for the PS2. Good graphics, lots of options and weapons.
Normally I don't stick with games, but I stuck with this one. I
finished it in about 30 hours and spent Thanksgiving weekend playing
it.
Best moment at work -- refer to "Best personal
moment".
Best TechTalk article -- I don't read them, do
you?
Best Berman vs. Berman article -- All of the ones
I've written. I'm great and if I wasn't me, I'd marry myself. If
I wasn't me and I was married to someone else, I'd have a torrid
affair with me.
Best Berman vs. Berman quote -- "You may
have won this time, but at least I don't smell funny. And while
slinging insults never helped anyone, it brings a smile to my face.
Baldy." Need I say more?
Best personal moment -- farting in my office and
having someone walk in while I was trying to leave because it stunk
so badly. He asked his question and I tried not laughing because
I could see that he had smelled it too. Neither of us said anything
about it.
Happy holidays and all that other crap.
