Please watch this video.  I have never really talked about Charles Barkley’s Shut up and Jam Gaiden,

I used to play this game constantly while I was still in college.  It’s a free PC game, made in the vein of Final Fantasy III, and centers around Charles Barkley in a post apocalyptic world where HE doomed the world with the CHAOS DUNK, the worst dunk that a basketball player can do.  Please watch the trailer and then try and tell me that you don’t want to play this game.


I used to play it and make my old roommate LeAnne watch, while I read all of his lines in a super-exaggerated Charles Barkley voice.

Seriously, if this doesn’t bring you joy, then I don’t know you.

Whopper Bar, oh and some place called Berlin

As for today’s update.  I’ll give you a condensed version of the last 4 days or so’s updates.

Sunday, in Munich, walked to the train station, took it two stops, got off, walked the wrong direction from the station away from the BK Whopper Bar.  Walked a good 4 miles (at least, not like I could tell with all the meters and kilometers signs *stupid american).  Eventually figured out that I was on the wrong side of the train station.  Got to the right side, and realized… oh yeah, in the Bavarian side of Berlin…. Everything’s closed on Sunday.  When I say everything, I mean everything except for train stations and gas stations.  Lunch and dinner was had at a gas station 2 miles from my hotel… after I had walked roughly 3 miles in every direction of my hotel in search of something open to eat at.  A bag of nuts, a Coca Cola Light (.5 liter) and a ice cream cone from a gas station were my sustenance on Sunday.

Monday, In Munich, work as usual, preparing more computers for the show, shipping everything off to the show, and then helping out with various tasks around the office, since the Munich office lost their all around tech guy a few weeks prior.  After work, I walked to the Whopper Bar, and it was as amazing as you would think it is.

Tuesday, more of the same, preparing another computer that had to be hand carried to the show.  Not much exciting in the food department.  I ate, well, pretty much, hot dogs in my hotel room from the hotel bar.

Wednesday, I flew from Munich to Berlin, and started setting up the booth.

Thursday, more setting up the booth, ate a delicious Falafel for dinner, it was also the cheapest meal I had so far, and the best.

Friday, first day of the show, a little over 12 hours of work, super tired, had a doner (gyro) from the same place I got a falafel the night before.  It was amazing.

Saturday, didn’t even realize it was Saturday, kept wondering why I wasn’t getting any emails all day.

And now you’re caught up, as am I!

Update:  Having a great time in Munich.  I worked all day Thursday and Friday at our office prepping computers for the big show in Berlin.  Enough about my work habits though…  Let’s get to what we’re here for.  The food.

The only place near my hotel that’s open past 6pm is an Italian restaurant.  So I’ve been there three times.  It’s pretty great.

Today (Saturday) I woke up late, I guess I was still getting a little over my jetlag, and hopped a train into town to eat at the Haufbrau Haus.  It was delicious as always.

But who cares about any of this, because this evening, about 10 minutes ago, I was using google maps to try and find a train station tomorrow to stop at and find food.  I stumbled upon something I didn’t think I would stumble across, only one train stop from my hotel….  Now you may look up at the google map

Munich day 1

Well, I’ve made it to Munich safe and sound.  Acclimating to the time change, so I’ve been sleeping a lot, but so far it’s great.  Tomorrow I head in to the office (which is less than a block from my hotel, and I begin my work.  I’ll update tomorrow with some pictures.  I didn’t take many today/yesterday, cause well… planes and airports are fairly boring.  Also I haven’t had spare time to surf around and find crazy videos, but I’m sure tomorrow evening I’ll find time (tomorrow afternoon for all you crazy americans).

So great

Hello World!

Hey there, I’ve decided to put my old blog in archive mode and use tumblr instead.  Sorry it’s been about a year since my last post, but now that I have a super smartphone and I travel a lot for my job, I’ll try and post stories, funny links, insane videos, and pictures from my travels (mostly of the crazy foods I eat)
