I attended the CaliFest Descent LAN in Fremont, CA in 2003, and we decided to make a road trip out of it.
Landscapes
This is a slideshow of various shots we took along the route from Houston to Fremont.
Petroglyph National Monument
We stopped in Albuquerque and visited the Petroglyph National Monument. It is quite a climb to the top!
Grand Canyon
No tour across the US Southwest would be complete without visiting the Grand Canyon. Pictures do not do this place justice, but I'll try.
Disneyland
A two day stop in Anaheim brought us to Disneyland for the first time. It's a much smaller experience, but somehow still manages to capture the Disney magic.
Carlsbad Caverns
Carlsbad Caverns is quite an amazing place. The nightly bat show is definitely something worth watching... if you're not afraid of bats, anyway.
SeaWorld
Our final stop was in San Antonio, and we spent the day at SeaWorld. Kathy loves the dolphins.
As an added bonus, we took some video of the killer whales doing some tricks.
Yeah, it's season 11. But the OTL Season 6 highlight reel is up, this time Fireball has taken the reins! Check out this video jam packed full of kills, deaths, silliness, and Sirius puns. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXstLVjnaGo
Bing is so bad. https://otl.gg is being blocked in their search results, and Bing webmaster tools are absolutely useless, not telling me why it's being blocked.
Does anyone know of some way to get a human to look at this and see what's wrong with it? #bing#microsoft
Me and my wife, despite buying a house of nice size, always seem to get in each other's way, be it in the kitchen, on the stairs, it doesn't matter. She's all up in my two square feet.
I often joke that all I want for Christmas is my two square feet.
I got the honor and privilege of calling the NES Tetris NTSC world record today while running Classic Tetris Wars on my Twitch channel for the very first time. It was thrilling. Congratulations to Blue Scuti for his 6,609,220 level 153 performance. https://clips.twitch.tv/DiligentDeadGoldfishDoritosChip-cx_vDMWAjKaZUK6N
Six Degrees of Sunday, my 6DoF long play Twitch series, is getting revived for 2024. Plus, I will be producing Six'd Off, a companion YouTube series showcasing each game.
@shanselman Speaking of Overload, here's something you may be interested in... recently, some community members released "Overload First Strike", a single player Overload campaign that is a complete remake of the original Descent First Strike campaign.
It can work with just the original game, but it works best with "olmod" as it takes advantage of some of the features it provides: https://olmod.overloadmaps.com
