All I want for Christmas is a cure for Diabetes.

Today is cleaning day - though we haven't started yet.  Too busy watching backlogged episodes of NarutoI woke up early this morning and hit the stores following a hint that some retailers might be holding some Wii's back to sell today.  All for naught though - there are still none to be found ( Read more... )

The trailer for WoW: The Burning Crusade is available on the official website and will give nerds like me a chub ( Read more... )

I could not resist the temptation to pick up a copy of Gears of War.  Too many hugely positive reviews in a row broke my (already lacking) willpower down and I went and picked it up today.

First things first - out of the gates, the game looks absolutely amazing.  The folks at EPIC weren't kidding around with Unreal Engine 3.  The character models ( Read more... )

I had wanted to be in bed by now, but there are demons playing piano in my brain and keeping me awake.  Annoying as it is, it's worse for Val.  She came down with whatever deep-jungle lung-and-sinus rot that I just got over.  She's in for a hell of a ride.

I picked up Marvel Ultimate Alliance on Friday and I absolutely love it.  This game is a ( Read more... )

Sunday morning in Beamsville at my parents house. I'm here for my annual family birthday celebration and visit. The grandparents will be buy later as will my sister and her family ( Read more... )

Dead Rising has quickly earned a place next to Table Tennis as the stars of my X-Box 360.  There are so many zombies in that game, it readily boggles the mind.  And almost as many ways to kill them.  From cash registers, clothes hangers, shelving units, hockey sticks, skate boards, chain saws, and my favorite so far - the sledge hammer.  That's not ( Read more... )

I think I took away a few choice pieces of knowledge from this year's E3 coverage.  Things like "yes, everyone sounds gay when they say 'Wii'"; and "the execs at Sony do smoke opium all the time."  A few things really caught and held my attention though.  One of those things was Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.  This mega-multi-platform game from the ( Read more... )

It's Friday an the last thing I feel like doing is work.  So instead, a catch-up style LJ entry for your reading pleasure.

First, a bit of an explanation of last night's rage-induced entry.  After we at dinner, I decided to download a few new demos from the X-Box Marketplace. First up, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (also called GRAW ( Read more... )

I'm at work way too early for comfort.  No amount of coffee can undo the damage that is waking up at 6 am.  None ( Read more... )

Lazy Sundays are a staple around this house.  I love nothing more than spending all day lounging around consuming various forms of media (most of which are pirated... arrr!).  For example, we just got finished watching "A History of Violence".  Decent flick with a very Cronenberg ending.

I picked up a copy of "The Outfit" yesterday, which was ( Read more... )
