Have a Great New Year!!
It's been a while since I've posted! Happy New Years and all that jazz. My Xmas was pretty good. Got a few gift cards for Best Buy, got a nice set of samurai swords from Jason and his wife. Got Predator 2 and Fearless on dvd with the gift cards. Got some cash for new shoes from my parents, I also got the entire series of No Where Man on dvd! That show was way ahead of it's time, if it was produced today it would be the new Lost. Oh, and I got the Original Star Wars on dvd, and when i say original, I mean the uneditted 1977 versions. I think watching the movies with the little mistakes makes it feel more.. honorable i guess you'd call it. It feels like cheating to watch the re-re-re-editted and updated versions of Star Wars. Know what I mean?
Another good piece of news is that my bro and I may have found a place on the outside of Madison on the west side. The duplex is really nice! When you walk in it doesn't even feel like a duplex at all! It's huge! The landlord is checking our credit now and will let us know when we can move in. It's got a wood burning fireplace, 2 car garage, 2 bedrooms and a downstairs that could be used as a third. It's the place i've been searching for months.
The new years party was pretty low key. I got there and started drinking the free beer. I'm not a big beer drinker and wanted to order a drink, but I didn't have any money at the time so I took what I could get. After 2 beers on an empty stomache I realized was kind of drunk so I had to play it cool, but I don't think anyone really cared, my boss didn't and his boss was too busy talking to everyone to care. After everyone had ate, they handed out gifts. Everyone had their name in a hat and a Santa (that I only assume was provided by the hotel) came by and helped hand out the gifts, everyone who went up had to sit on santa's lap and then get their gift. I know it was lame, but the office ladies were getting a kick out of it. I ended up getting a gift card to Olive Garden.... -_- WHOOO! Yeah... I regifted it to my mom for part of her gift hahaha. After the gifts everyone just went off and did their own thing, a lot of people left to get back to the kids, others went to the hotel bar to shoot pool and drink. I went up to a room a guy i work with rented, his wife brought some drinks. So we drank a little, went down stairs to the hotel's bar and shot a little pool and played a few hands of yuker (Sp?) with some of our co-workers. After that me, my buddy, his wife and one of their friend's went to a bowling alley so he could show off some of his mad foozeball skills. And he is damn good. I teamed up with his wife and we got our asses kicked.
After taking back Tony Hawk's Project 8, I rented the only other good game out for the PS3 right now, which is Ridge Racer 7. It is an ok arcade racer, but nothing worth buy. I took it over to buddy's to play online but we both got our asses handed to us. So we went back to playing Resistance Online. I can't remember if I told you about that yet, but Oh my god is that death match fun! I just can't get enough! Tomarrow after work i may just get a wireless headset so I can communicate online. I'd love to hear all the smack talk that goes on in there. We were playing yesterday on New Years and there tons of people online! Every other match at from 40 (the max amount) to 30 players. The only bad thing about it was that the stats weren't being updated as quickly as normal due to the fact that it was sooo crowded. I'm sure my ranking is exremely high now. (www.resistancefallofman.com pretty cool site.. but i was hoping that I could check my character's stats) Then I saw that the free demo for Gran Turismo HD was up for download so we downloaded that. It looks fucking amazing! Everything is crystal clear and hella realistic. The screen shots of it online don't do it justice. You have to see it playing on a High Def set.
