Jetpacks.

I've been reading this book called Jetpack Dreams. I'm really enjoying the book, and recommend it to anyone who is remotely interested in Jetpacks. The book dives deep into the science and history of this seemingly far-fetched device, but also makes many references to nerd-culture. Definitely worth a look at.

I've also taken a look back at Black for the PS2. I have no idea why anyone would think that this is even a bearable FPS to play. I don't know if the games' flaws were so prominent when it was released, but they sure don't stand up next to any current gen shooters. The aiming sensitivity in this game feels like you are stuck in quick sand throughout your entire experience, and with no option settings to change this, it makes aiming a chore. The enemy AI is definitely not up to snuff either; the enemies are constantly running in between my character and his allies, shattering the realism in an instant. I might give it another shot, if I am bored to tears this week. I make no promises though; once was painful enough.
