It's really happening

At first I thought it was an early April Fool's joke, but I guess this is really getting made.

Games

So, I was watching Spike the other day when the very first Star Trek DS9 came on. And it made me realize that I hadnt really seen many of those, but I liked the ones I saw, so I went looking for some torrents and now I'm watching some of the first season stuff. It benefits from being a spin off of TNG cause it's like it didn't need that start up period to get it's feet. Also, Heroes is amazing, but it takes forever to come out! I'm gonna blame Jeff Loeb cause he was always late when he was writing Superman / Batman... Sure he doesn't actually write any episodes but I think it works to blame him. So there are a few Wii games on the horrizon that I am looking forward too. Well, there's two out right now that look fun, Godfather and Cooking Mama, and then Super Paper Mario is coming out! That looks quite grand, but it might be a little simple in the long run.

But somehow I have to get a copy of Puzzle Quest for Danielle's DS... Cause damn! I played the demo (and so should you all) And it only let me play for a little while but it was SO GROOD! Good and great. great and good. I mean, it's a bejewelled RPG! It kicks so much ass! Go play it!

Crazy picture

Yeah it looks nice, but does it get you drunk?

For a good night's sleep

Stay away from Eclipso

So, it turns out that Marble Mountain is like, a 10 minute drive away. Me and Danielle went skiing today. It was so pretty out! For one thing, it didn't snow at all, and it was only -3 and super sunny out. The ski hill is insanely huge! It's got all these crazy runs and jumps and stuff that we didn't go near, but we could see from the comfort of the lodge. The lifts seemed to go forever, and the runs just kept going too. The first two runs we did the bunny hill cause it was a while since either of us skied, but the first real run we did I trying to pick out easy or medium hills. Then Danielle went by me and it turns out that she doesn't read. So she went down a black diamond hill and it was rough going. I was okay for about half of it, then I missed an edge and ended up heading straight down the hill with no chance of stopping and once it flattened out I wiped out really good. I even dropped the camera, but found it cause it was next to my hat. But after that we kept to easier hills and had a grand time.

Then there's us tuckered and eating poutine

Warning!! Warning!!

Hey, anyone remember a few years ago when I got hooked on a free computer game called Warning Forever? Well I remember it now and I'm hooked all over again!



That giant thing in the center is Tetra Force Striker Hell, and that little thing over on the right side getting shot at with lazers is me. Awesome

Oh YES!!!!

Damn, why wasn't I in Taipei to see this?

It's tricky

So, it's still snowing here. I don't know how it keeps it up, it must get tired eventually. But if I get out of th car and enter a building for any length of time (like returning movies) I have to clean it off when I get back to it. My car brush is getting more use since I've been here then it got the whole rest of the winter in Freddy. It's a little insane. I'm starting to learn the main roads here, but there are no lane markers here (I guess they get scraped off by the plows) and they haven't figured out that they could put up signs over head showing which lane is for turning, or if there even are two lanes at any given time.
I bought the new SSX game for the Wii with a christmas gift card from Liz. It's quite difficult but also quite awesome. tipping the nunchuck to carve and grab, flicking the remote to do backflips and draw ubertricks... I'm gonna end up putting a lot of time into that game. I wish the gameplay wasn't as open. You have to snowboard down to the start of the races and stuff and search the mountain for new ubertricks, but it's fairly fun, and will probably get better the more I play

Who Watches The Movies?

So, everybody should go and see 300. On the one hand, it just looks like it's gonna be all over the top and flashy battles and all that Frank Miller stuff you saw in Sin City. BUT the real reason to go see 300 is that the same director is making WATCHMEN!!! So if 300 does well, that gives Watchmen a bigger budget. And really who doesn't want to see how they pull off Dr Manhattan or Rorschach?

Urge Splurge

Hey kids.
I finally got Danielle's wireless up and running today which frees up a lot of room, since her compy can go back into the second room. Also, I bought a tv, cause I'm just like that.



It's an LCD so it can handle a bunch of different resolutions and whatnot. Dan's DVD player only outputs 480i like normal tv :( but the tv can handle 720p or 1080i for high stuff, and 480p for the Wii
