It’s still alive!

Yes, it’s been 6 months since my last post and podcast. I really do want to do a podcast, just haven’t found the motivation to do it. I recently obtained a ZOOM recorded from my great friend Emmitt, and i’ve been using that to record some karaoke. Haven’t used it for a podcast yet, but I know it will work with it. Just need to put things together and do it. It’s crazy to think that March of 2025 will be 20 years since I did my first podcast, so i’d like to get some momentum going before hitting that landmark. We’ll see. Hopefully some people are out there cheering me on to hit that 20 year mark!

Crazy times around the south of the USA – in this episode I talk about Harvey and Irma, and how Irma hit me the most – as Maria and I were just down there in Marco Island/Miami earlier this year.

Also, check out this article I found today, that helps explain why the monster water surge from Irma wasn’t as bad as the forecasters predicted, which is a good thing.

No Man’s Sky – the game i’ve been waiting for!!

So… I know I haven’t posted anything on this site in a while – been a busy guy. But recently I thought i’d post something non-podcast related, because it’s been on my mind since over the last 48 hours. What is that, you ask? The new PS4 game, ‘No Man’s Sky’ (NMS).
13975463_10154303832251878_1318619722419564303_o
When this game was first announced over 2 years ago, I thought it looked cool. When I found out it was a game where you could go from planet to planet exploring and discovering, it grabbed my attention. When I found out it was going to be released Aug 9th, I decided that i’d pre-order and get it at midnight, if possible. That’s what’s I did… I went to the local Gamestop, got the game – and installed it as soon as I could that night.

I thought i’d just download the day-one patch, then hit the bed… when I found out the patch was less than a gig, I decided to play for a while… almost 3 hours later, I was hooked.

This game reminds me of books I used to read by Isaac Asimov, the Lucky Starr-Space Ranger series. When I went back to do more research about it, learned that in one of the books (Lucky Starr and The Pirates of the Asteroids) there actually was an unmanned survey ship Atlas, makes me wonder if Hello Game’s Sean Murray actually modeled this game a little after Lucky Starr himself… When I play this game, I feel like I am a space ranger, donning my space suit and discovering the universe – in hopes to reach the center of the galaxy! This game is beautiful, one that I can see myself playing hours and hours – and wanting to discover more.

I know some people expected this to be a huge multiplayer game, but with 18 qunitllian (spelling?) planets in the universe of NMS, how do you really think you will see someone?? With the 5-6 hours i’ve played so far, I think i’ve been to maybe 6-8 planets, and none of them have been discovered before… Who knows if I ever will find one in the next month or two.

Well, I could go on about this game, but I encourage you to research it yourself. If you’ve ever wanted to be a Space Ranger, this might be the game for you… I know it’s something i’ve always been interested in..

OK – I’m off to explore new planets and continue to find Zaldor’s World as a Space Ranger in No Man’s Sky!!

If you follow my twitter, you might have seen me mention that I recorded a podcast with my friend Emmitt for the Emmitt and Rick show earlier this week – well, that show is up now, and it’s perfect for you to listen to until the next episode of Zaldor’s World comes out! (which coincidentally enough, has Emmitt as a co-host!)
