I'm taking what they're giving

Well, another day passes. At the state department, you have no privacy. It says so when you log in in the morning. It’s interesting, although I never thought I’d be working for the government this. . . well, deep. Friend of mine called me ‘Mulder’ jokingly, although I am located in the basement of the state department.

It’s a heck of a place to work. Good people.

On the flip side, I’m thinking of purchasing Drummania, even though I have nothing to play it on. That, and Guitar Freaks 3rd Mix, just so I can be on the drums and two people on guitar playing in what is the best form of air band, ever. The only problem is money. Serious, serious moolah.

If anyone wants to get me any gifts. These are them.

Final Fantasy: Spirits Within

Final Fantasy, the Spirits Within.

Just, well . . .

Wow.

I’m going to see it again. Mainly because the theater that I watched it at BURNED THE FILM RIGHT AT THE CLIMAX OF THE MOVIE. Burned. Watched the film blister and crawl up the height of the screen.

However, even if I didn’t get my money back, I would still watch this movie again. Granted, my opinion is based primarily upon watching 98% of the entire movie. (Yes, they killed the film right there.)

The movie is good. Don’t try to compare it to anything you’ve ever seen before. You’ve never seen a movie that looks like this. The story is cliché, but I found myself rooting for these digital thespians. When they died, I cared. When they wanted to kiss someone, I felt it.

A movie based on a video game that does not suck. Imagine that. My money is on the DVD right now. Digital transfer of this film. I’m going to write some more tomorrow, after I get a good night’s rest. I may be embellishing the experience somewhat right now, after the movie high.

But goodness, it’s a beautiful movie.

POX

Knowing my penchant (some would say obsession) with all things electronic, it is no surprise that I’m somewhat interested in a little gadget from Hasbro called, POX. From what I can tell, it’s Pokemon and Digimon, fused with battlebots and an RF transmitter for wireless battling. There’s some alien DNA nanobot nonsense on the website, but basically, I’m looking to kick some nanobot butt. When I get my hands on one, it’ll probably be more of a battle to find other folks to battle against.

Ready for July 4th

The Fourth of July is tomorrow, and that means that it’s also a friend’s birthday. Well, happy birthday, Enrico.

In other news, I’m still playing Diablo II: Lord of Destruction. Here’s a pic, courtesy the highest resolution black and white camera that Nintendo ever made available to the public for under ten dollars. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the Game Boy Camera:


Dammit, let me sleep.

A couple of friends should be coming down this weekend. I’m looking forward to celebrating the 4th of July in air conditioned comfort. The last two years have been really, really bad. As in chew your air before you breathe it and don’t trample any children on your way home via the metro bad.

Well, I’d best be going, I’m wasting valuable Diablo time.

Diablo II

It’s official. I’m hooked on Diablo II again, no doubt due to the fact that the digital crack dealers over at Blizzard got the expansion pack out. Two games about Baal released within weeks of each other. You know this brings a tear to the Lord of Destruction’s eye. Or eyes. Or whatever.

My personal favorite so far? The Druid. All the necromancer summoning goodness, with a healthy portion of lycanthropy. Nothing quite like infecting your enemies with rabies while your conspiracy of ravens tear their eyes out. Good old rabies, never lets me down.
