Reece,
Yes! Fallout: New Vegas is brilliant. I put so many hours into that one.

[jsalbato@cnm.edu]

Yes, Dexter is so well written. Great recommend!

Back in the day when I could get my wife to play board games with me, we would hit Slice & Dice often. Very cool joint.

Yep, I will second the vote for iGrill. It’s solid.

At Tap-N-Taco, part of its charm is that the menu is really simple. For me it’s a couple of fish tacos and a chicken quesadilla. (I don’t eat meat too often, so someone else could recommend more stuff.)

My brag is that I read the whole series of Harry Potter books to my kids, and, yes, I did the voices. (The weak part was that I started reading them before the movies existed and pronounced everything wrong.)

Osvaldo,

Man, another sadistic gamer that loves games that punish you. Have you ever seen that some game reviews on Steam rate games on a difficulty scale that goes from “Easy” to “Dark Souls”?

I am ashamed that I still haven’t played “Betrayal at House on the Hill”… but I know it’s great.

Armond,
I think you’ll be pleased with the amount of psychology and psychology-related materials we will be covering this semester. Psych is one of my frequent sub-fields in my teaching history.

Brian,

I’m guessing you would agree with the reviews of Escape from Tarkov”. The common summary says, “This game hates me and I keep failing…best game ever!” So you are one of “those” gamers. I aspire to be like you one day, when I become cool.

Tabitha,

“When Breath Become Air” is on my “books to buy” list already…I just need to make room on my “next to read” shelf so I can get it. And the Hunger Games was a great series (and the first two movies were pretty solid representations).

I am one of those freaks who always finishes a book even if I hate it, and I have now gotten myself to only read two books at a time, one serious (for home) and one fun (to read when I’m walking).

Thanks, Jeff

Everyone should read Fromm’s Sane Society, Epictetus’ Encheiridion, Chomsky’s What Uncle Sam Really Wants, Milgram’s Obedience to Authority, Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, Holloway’s Godless Morality, …and hundreds of others…go read some books now!

My nerdiest interests are philosophy, psychology, political theory, history, books, and languages. My geekiest interests are video games and board games.
