It's been a tough week and a half. I am no longer an OU student, I am now an OU graduate. I don't feel any different, but that's not so strange. It's not as if I suddenly changed as a person after the graduation ceremony a few weekends ago; the process took about four years. To be honest, I kind of wish it weren't over already. I wish I had more time to hang out with my friends, more time to learn new things. Granted, I can still spend time with friends and hobbies, but now that we have all gone on to our own homes and new jobs (or hopes for new jobs), it's tougher. I also wonder about those friendships that never fully blossomed, those people whom I would not likely see again. That said, here's a rundown of the 10 best moments of senior year. I may be missing some, and others might be a bit of a stretch. Part of the reason some of them were chosen was because I had photo evidence of them occurring. My memory isn't the best, and I don't always think to take pictures.

A few months ago, I was considering the intricacies of Pastafarianism when I found myself lost in The Void. The feeling was utterly immersive. Every color had meaning, every sound caught my ear and yanked my head in search of danger. I could tell that, in The Void, I had entered a unique world with an ecology and anatomy all its own, one removed from reality but at the same time touching on the same foundation.

Over half a year ago, I blogged about how much I was looking forward to the release of "Monster Hunter Tri", even though I did not own a Wii at the time. True to my word, I purchased a Wii shortly before the game was released, and I picked up the latest addition to the franchise the day it hit store shelves. I have been meaning to write a review of "Monster Hunter Tri" for some time, but I can never seem to pull myself away from the game for a few hours to do so. The game is so involving, there is always a handful of quests to do or necessary materials to find, I felt it would be irresponsible to review the game without getting a full experience of all that it has to offer. So it is with great interest that I saw that the game was the latest target of famous game critic Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw's video blog, Zero Punctuation, last week.
