-Hello everybody. Its the middle of another week of class, and as usual I feel like passing out on the library's computer.
-Weekend went by pretty well for the most part. Spent a good amount of it watchin movies. On Friday Scott and I met up at my bro's and we played a bit of Guitar Hero (sequel is almost here, huzzah!), and watched Gamers and Thank You for Smoking. I believe I already gave my thoughts of Thank You for Smoking when I saw it in theatres, Joe and Scott seemed to like it too. Gamers is not about video games as the title may lead you to believe, it's about the other type of gamers, D&D/roleplay gamers and how they're trying to break the world record for longest streak playing. I'm not that much of a D&D gamer, played it a few times but wasn't ever seriously into it, but even with that in mind going into the movie I still ended up liking it a lot.
Saturday was decent, mostly hung out with Joe & Scott again. We waited for several hours for a call from Chris on another potential LAN party with one of his coworkers, but he canceled it at the last minute. That's the third time he did that now, and the third time I held off doing other stuff because of it. I think it's the last time I'll plan ahead for that again. I killed that time off by hanging out with Scott & Joe, later Joey came to my apartment and we watched Memento since he never saw it. I think that was my 3rd time watching it, and I'm still picking up little details I missed out on, damn you evil movies that play backwards. Sunday was pretty fun, watched Vikings/Lions and Cowboys/Eagles game at Rich's. It looked like the Vikes were gonna give up to the lil kitty kats, but then they decided to show up and play in the fourth quarter by making 23 ananswered points. 49ers won too that day, so that made the day even better. Rich just got a DS so I brought mine over and we played multiplayer Tetris and Mario Kart. Even though Rich didn't have those games we could still do single card game sharing. After I left his place thought I realized I lost my copy of Phoenix Wright somewhere, why do those DS games have to be so friggin small!? Other than that, it was a nice solid weekend.
-On the topic of games, still no update on the 360. On UPS's page, the status of my lost package claim has been at 'UPS is searching for package' for well over a month now even though on the UPS website it says it shouldn't take longer than 7-10 days. I'm still settled on my decision of if I don't hear anything by next Friday, I'll end up buying another system.
-I finished up the second season of Lost over the weekend, I also watched episode one of the first season as I managed to tape it ahead of time. As I expected, they didn't really tell much about the others other than what they're doing when the plane went down and they're all mad rogue scientists. I liked the second season a lot overall, I went through it faster than the first season I believe, as Season 2 only took me about a month to finish up. I am still slowly progressing through other season DVDs, I am on the third disc of Firefly now, and slowly watching episodes whenever I can of the Chapelle Show and Seinfeld DVDs I own. In other entertainment progression news, I finished The Rise and Fall of ECW book last week. OK book overall, the last half I was disappointed with as it seems they merely glossed over the last couple years worth of history of ECW, other than a couple major events. Though I do like the vast amount of insight it offered on the first several years of ECW's existence, and my favorite part probably was the bio dedicated on how Heyman broke into the industry, much of which I didn't know prior to his WCW-days. Right now I'm reading a little book about the area of the country I grew up in called "Our Red River Valley." I'll probably be done with it in a week or so, it is pretty good, but is mostly a filler book as I await for the release of Eric Bishoff's biography next week. WWE is doing a tremendous job hyping it up, and I hope it delivers.
-Speaking of WWE, that was quite the season premiere RAW had last Monday. Nice to see the Money Inc. reunion, and even though Cena/Taker happened a few times in 2003, it was fun watching them go at it for a few minutes this go around because since then Cena has evolved into the mega-superstar he is today and Undertaker is now back to his deadman gimmick, albeit in a legendary way. Unexpected highlight of the night was the personal bickering between Tazz and JBL on commentary. Pretty entertaining show overall, and good exposure for all three WWE brands.
-There's a bunch of new games coming out these next couple of weeks. First and foremost the best holiday game of the season is in stores now, in the form of Family Feud for PS2 and GBA. Get it for only $19.99 on PS2 and I will own you in online play! Survey says....bring it bitches! The Family Guy game also comes out next week, and after reading a bit of previews of the game it looks like it'll succeed on the same level as Simpsons: Hit & Run did a couple years ago. Finally, Mortal Kombat: Armageddon is now out, and is easily a must-buy. Every character from MK ever in roster: check, create-a-fighter: check, special kart based extra game Motor Kombat: check. Buy this game!
That's all I got for now, latez!
