RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
Star Trek has had some good games, ST: Bridge Commander being the best, I really enjoyed the Elite Force games, the Armada games, 25th anniversary and Birth of the federation too. Hell I even gone enjoyment out of ST:Legacy. But then I'm a Trekker. I was a big fan of Final Unity. A p&c adventure/action hybrid fits the trek universe well.

What's on the idiot box... Part 2
To be fair, the 2nd episode is more a mishmash of "small cases", some of which are connected. It's a time jumpey one with lots of flashback sequences. I liked it, wife's response was essentially "if the season only has 3 episodes, why would they throw one away with a filler episode?"

I got into Avatar late and just haven't found the time to watch it. I'm only about halfway through season 1 but really enjoy it.

I want a graphene/carbon nanotube/cotton blend. Then my shirt would be soft, durable, and hold extra power for my phone.

Well, we did series 1 on Thursday, and series 2 on Friday. Up until 3am both nights after the kids went to bed. I consider 4.5 hours in a row of one show marathoning.

Django Unchained. Probably my favorite Tarantino film. Does Sherlock count as movies or TV? Because a 90 minute runtime for each episode is essentially movies. Either way, marathoned the first 6 episodes, fantastic.

Hot Coffee, a documentary on the tort reform movement that was spearheaded after the woman sued McDonalds and won. Seeing the photos of her injuries was nuts. The whole thing just made me angry at corporations again.

Elysium. Enjoyed it a lot, but wish directors/cinematographers would get it through their heads that no one likes shakycam.

There exists the fondest, faintest new hope that Disney will release a theatrical blu-ray. A herd of nerfs might also fly out of my butt, but, it could happen. This past holiday week, like a champion nerd, I watched extended editions of all four LOTR movies. Still working on the thirteen separate commentary tracks across all four films. Maybe I should break both my legs and become an invalid. Wait I don't have insurance nevermind. I think Disney cares more about money than Lucas' artistic desires. There will be a release of the theatrical versions. Saw The Wolverine and Jack and the Giant Slayer. The Wolverine acted like the ending was a big surprise, but it was so obvious. Otherwise I really enjoyed it. Much better than X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Pretty wicked sword that can cut through Adamantium like butter. Jack and the Giant Slayer was pretty generic fantasy fare. Bill Nighy's voice and Ewan McGregor were the highlights.

Saving Mr Banks If the portrayal was at all accurate, P.L. Travers was a very unpleasant woman. They left out her distaste for the final product and refusal to trust Disney with any further adaptions as well. Otherwise it was a pretty good movie. I didn't even realize Colin Farrell was in it, but I really liked his character. Saw Ted as well. With that and Dads, I'm officially a fan of Seth McFarlane's live action work.

What you did today
Decided to make some smoothies for breakfast, a tub of greek yogurt, 4 bananas, orange juice, and some frozen strawberries. Get it all blended but didn't have enough room before it was blended for enough strawberries so was putting in one at a time while it was blending. Put in one last one, blade gets stuck on it, unscrews the bottom of the blender, entire batch flows out the bottom al over the counter and blender. Not happy.

Space, the Canadian equivalent of SyFy every yar does the 12 Days of Spacemas, which is 12 days of a different marathons. This year they are having a Nick Cage marathon for one of the days. Beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uC5dPToqnU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

What you did today
Had breakfast around noon, which is the norm for my family on Christmas, but this year we're doing dinner with another family who does dinner at like 2 in the afternoon on Christmas, where my family normally does it at 6. So we're compromising with 4, which is just crazy early for Dinner. They're bringing everything, but I have like 2 hours to bake a pie, make iced cream, and clean the house. MADNESS.

True, but it is immoral. Repulsive even. Hardly, it's a necessity. You couldn't sue a corporation that fails to deliver if it didn't have legal personality. Exactly. Then you sue the CEO, chairman of the board or whatnot. Meaning the one that bares the top responsibility instead. Make the paradigm switch to the very individuals that make the decisions of the corporations behalf. I believe that's exactly the reason corporations were created, to insulate those involved in the business from criminal or financial liability.
