Best Game Intro
So far, that I've played and that I can remember, I think it's Metal Gear. If you're current with the story then you can totally appreciate what you are looking at and what you are experiencing.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Yeah, the reviews have been really mixed. On the one hand I want to check it out because I'm a Star Wars fan but I just don't have the money to blow 60 on a game that I'm not really going to enjoy. Uh...At some point, maybe closer to the bargain bin I'll pick this up.

Xbox 360 Respawned
My next purchase is lined up for the xbox 360: NBA 2k9. Definitely incredibly excited for this one and they've made a few really awesome changes since last year's game. The big on for me is the ability to change your shot in the air which means that every time I drive the lane on the Bulls I'm not going to get my ass blocked and I can actually adjust my lay in and make it.

NFL 2008 Season
Ha! Let us know if you get a response. He claims that he's responding to all the hate mail. I love how he claims he "failed miserably." At least he knows that he made a mistake, but that's a very odd rule.

The Fringe
This is too fantastical of a premise for me, I've become kind of fed up with a lot of the supernatural elements to these shows. I'd swing for something more like Eleventh Hour because it's more realistic. The show is based on science fact and all the events that happen are things that actually could feasibly occur.

LOST
The plot has gotten a little bit out there, but I have to say I'm so caught up in the series I want to know how it ends. I'm going to continue to tune in but I will admit that this last season pushed my suspension of disbelief a tad.

Games you are looking forward to
I just saw a video for NHl 2k9 that showcases the Wii controls. This is definitely going to be the game that gets me using my Wii again. Watch it here

Xbox 360 Respawned
Still haven't played braid but from what I've read here and other places, it's awesome. Definitely going to check it out.

Blitz the League 2 video (gross)
Check out this video for Blitz the league 2 of one of the injuries. This thing is gross! Still, though, this game looks hysterical, and I'm definitely going to check it out.

What are you playing now?
Tried to get through more of GTA last night. I'm still teetering on the brink of the end of the game. However, I've been having trouble finding the time to get it done though. On some level, I'm just trying to get it over with.

Assassin's Creed Redux
dude, trust me, people would pay extra for a copy of AC without the bloody dialogue. whenever you get to a cutscene, just pick up a book or something. it's the most bearable way to play the game. haha, certainly true. I was somewhat interested in the storyline because I'm a bit of a history nerd, but after a while the boring characters really got to me and I didn't care about the story (which wasn't that great anyway) I just wanted to get to the assassinations. Those were awesome though, I think it's definitely worth checking out.

NFL 2008 Season
Henry resigned after being dropped by the team? What's going on here, did they just want to get out of his contract or something in case he got into trouble again? Joe Horn might do alright in Atlanta actually, if they can find a way to protect Matt Ryan because he's certainly not the most mobile QB.

Tropic Thunder-Rain of Madness
For those of you who saw and like Tropic Thunder, and I'm certainly in that group of people, there's a hilarious side project that goes along with it, which is just as funny. It's called Rain of Madness, I saw it earlier today. It's like an Apocalypse Now of the Tropic Thunder movie. So f-ing funny http://www.rainofmadness.com/

Xbox 360 Respawned
The Darkness rocks. Too Human. It's an awkward combination of addictive and terrible. I played 4 hours and I have no justification or reason for that. Maybe the "terrible" is harsh. There is lots of room for improvement. But I'm not the target audience of action-RPGs/hack&slash games, either. Have never liked them. Darkness does rock, actually, come to think of it, that's on my pile of shame as well! I got a good deal into it but I never finished it. Quite odd actually, considering I beat Riddick twice, but I think other things just came up for me at the end of last summer.

What are you playing now?
Played the demo on XBL. The controls were cool, but it was really hard to string together attacks. The story seemed a bit out there as well. 5.5 (out of 10) from Gamespot doesn't do much for it either. Did it live up to the hype that Dyack was giving it? That's my real question.

NHL 2k9
No, that's not of the big features their emphasizing, they are just saying that it's in there because they are going for fun gameplay. that's just going to be a fun sidebar to do during the games and it's going to make it appealing to non-hockey players. I don't mind it at all, their games are good simulations and exceedingly realistic as it is, so I don't think it's a downside that I can crash into my friends between periods.

What you did today
Between NBC, MSNBC, USA network, CNBC, Telemundo, and Oxygen you shouldn't have long to wait. Here's a schedule http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?.../SPRN1254CG.DTL Well, it's based on majority though. Which means that even if something's on, if peiople don't want to be distracted by a sport they don't want to watch...it doesn't come on.

NFL 2008 Season
I still don't place much faith in the preseason. I think the stakes change when people's nerves and hard work kick into high gear when it's on the line.

Cirque Du Soleil
ah crap, I had the wrong link in my clipboard when I posted and had no idea! And no, I'm not a bot at all... Here's the link for those of you interested: http://www.thehotticket.net/delirium/ As I said, they're no longer touring, so this is a great opportunity to see them.

I've been sitting at work this morning waiting for the Olympics to come of TV so that I can watch them.

My Crazy Dream
Ever heard of Lucid Dreaming? I've never achieved it myself but I've heard a lot of people saying they do it regularly. Heh, neat. Seems very familiar indeed. I've done this a few times within recent memory. They are always really surprising though because once you realize that you're dictating the dream to yourself, your brain usually figures out that you are, in fact, dreaming. And at that point, the dream is over because you'll wake yourself up.

FX's New Show
I wish! Well, maybe not with the tax trouble. I agree about the actors Lady Crimson. I think Perlman is a huge draw for me in this one. He rarely turns in an off-beat performance and having him play a character in this one ensures it's going to be the old badass Perlman we're used to.
