Last night I saw Drag Me To Hell, the new horror film by master of the genre, Sam Raimi. It should be noted that this is a rare Raimi film in that there is no Bruce Campbell – but that does not keep this movie from kicking serious ass.

Short post time.
Yesterday, I was playing Fallout 3, and was getting both bored and frustrated. It’s very hard to manage your ammo, and being “nice” to everyone in the post-apocalyptic world is a bitch.
So, I did the only thing I could think of – I blow up an entire town.
So much awesome… And now I’m just going through the rest of the game, killing things that have what I need to survive, and not really thinking too much about it.
Sure, it’s made my dude a “bad guy”, but I’m having fun – and, isn’t that the point of a game?

Just a few things that I thought I would mention about today…
First, the Doctor Horrible Sing-A-Long Blog went live today. It’s pretty much what it sounds like, a new web based TV mini-series written by Buffy creator Joss Whedon. It stars Neil Patrick Harris, and it’s also a musical.
About a super villain, who’s not really all that villainous. He’s a bit like Doctor Forester in that department, the wanting to be more evil than he really is.
Secondly, E3 is underway right now, and today Nintendo and Sony took the stage, following Microsofts conference yesterday.
We go now, live, to Commander William T. Riker of the USS Enterprise for his take on the Nintendo Conference:
Riker Watches Nintendo E3 Conference
Thanks Will.
The Sony conference? Fucking sweet. Movies, more fun games, PSP stuff… It was what gaming used to be.
It was awesome.
Finally, I saw Wanted tonight.
A fucking fine movie, hilarious and good action.
Although, part of that might also be based on who I saw it with.
More on that… Later.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present the
State of the Game Address
Please be seated.
As many (can all four readers be called a “many”?) of you know, I’m an avid gamer. Or, rather, I like to think of myself as an avid gamer, but in reality I’m more of an avid gadget whore who focused his skill points on games.
Either way you split it, I enjoy video games and talking about them, and as such I think it’s time to once again update on what I think of the current System Wars situation. (more…)

Today I worked about 11 hours total. It wasn’t all that bad, though – the majority of it was finishing up the few things that needed done, getting a list of items to excess and then supervising ISD as the tore our computers apart.
It was weird supervising them, as just a few months ago I was one of them… Now, they, in a sense, work for me. I mean, they don’t work *for* me in the sense that I am their boss, but they work for me as they are customer service, and I am the customer. It’s an odd feeling, having my former co-workers doing what I ask of them, because they have to follow my direction.
Kind of nice, too.
Today was probably the last day I’ll eat at Gyro Time. I think I’ll miss that place.
Tomorrow will be my last morning Starbucks run. Sure, Starbucks = evil empire, but I do like me a mocha in the morning. I’ll just have to adjust; maybe I’ll switch to tea at my desk.
Not much else to report at the moment. Things are trucking along rather well on most fronts; Will do my damnedest to head to Game Night tomorrow – doing so each week is really helping me with my stupid social anxiety bullshit. I figure within a few weeks I might actually be able to start a conversation with a stranger!
Yeah, probably not.
