More New Super Mario Bros. Wii News & Previews

It's been quite awhile since my last post, but there's not a whole lot that's new or noteworthy. I finished up my rotation at Colonial Pharmacy in Sarver the Friday before Christmas. It wasn't too bad, but I didn't really learn anything I couldn't have learned at Target. I think what made it seem so bad was the fact that I had to pay $1200 for ( Read more... )

I was trying to find the origin of the "A dingo ate my baby" quote a couple of weeks ago and just remembered to Google it today. Apparently it isn't from a movie as I had suspected. There was a case in Australia where a woman was accused of murder when her baby went missing on a camping trip and her defense was that a dingo ate her baby ( Read more... )

Went to see Hitman last night. Despite the fact that the main character was a fairly bad actor and there were highly exaggerated scenes, I still liked the movie as a whole. The plot was good for the most part, there was a lot of action, and the female lead had a massive dislike of tops. I really liked the overall theme of the movie, although it ( Read more... )

I got into the Tabula Rasa beta and I really like it. It has most of the things I liked about WoW and less of the things I didn't like.

Some assorted topics for today:

SportsAfter playing the worst football I've ever seen last weekend, the Steelers bounce back yesterday to beat the 3-1 Seahawks 21-0. Too bad I missed the entire game because I was at school. Hockey season started up last and the Pens looked pretty impressive on Saturday after a pretty bad loss the night before ( Read more... )

I picked up my Halo 3 Legendary Edition yesterday. The Master Chief Helmet is much bigger than I expected. Except for the remastered cinematics from Halo and Halo 2, there's nothing all too spectacular on the two bonus discs. The game is pretty sweet so far, but it is not really anything new; it's just still Halo, which is both a good and a bad ( Read more... )
