Just came back home yesterday from Christmas break. The good news is I’m pretty sure I maintained my 4.0 GPA, expect I may have gotten a B in my Honors Core classes (English and History combined). I’ve still got my fingers crossed, though.

Finals were a hellish, busy week for me. But things are about to get more hectic before they get relaxing! I may have come home, but I have a lot of stuff to do:

• Rework & Finish SectorNetwork.com (which will essentially be my new “projects” page from this site).
• Create a new FPSPhoto.com
• Create DavidCalder.ca
• Finish TruColorsInc.com
• Create TheFragStore.com
• Create TheHighTimes.com
• Update EnemyTerritory.tv

I also want to write a few blogs, do a few game reviews, and enjoy my Christmas break! Woah!

Lucky I’m still motivated to get all this done. So here we go!

de_winery_final is now available. It’s a fast paced, exciting Counter-Strike Source map designed entirely by me.

Check it out and give me your feedback! It’s got it’s own personal website online with more details, a gallery, trailer, overview, and more.

I love my music. I’ve been listening to a lot of new (and old) bands since I’ve come to college, too. My music horizons have really expanded.

My favorite genres usually revolve around alternative, rock, indie, and occassionally some punk, techno, classics, and others.

Favorite bands are Muse, Weezer, Silversun Pickups, Simon and Garfunkle, and others.

You can view more specific data on my music I’m listen to at my last.fm profile (tracks all my music). I’ve also installed my Weekly top chart onto the sidebar.

There’s a brand new trailer out for the upcoming film titled The Watchmen. Check out the trailer at Yahoo Movies (make sure you watch it in HD!). The trailer is amazing, it gave me tingles all over. I’m very excited for the release of this film!

I also just finished the graphic novel today, and it’s great. Well deserving of the praise it has received, and the praise has been extensive! Hugo Award winner, on the Time Magazine’s 100 best novels, you name it. I’d suggest picking it up if you haven’t yet it, yet!

The story is very gritty and adult. It deals with some fairly interesting ideas, and for a super hero graphic novel it is incredibly mature. It’s like nothing else I’ve ever seen or read, and it is really enjoyable. The characters are especially deep, the drawing is great, and the dialogue is interesting throughout.

Read the full story to view a small collection of pictures from the trailer.
