Friday's Fedora
I wish I knew kung fu.
It's time for another long weekend again, and I'm totally psyched. I will remain psyched until Wednesday morning. That's my last day of freedom before going back to work. Oh well.
So last night was the big XBox 360 unveiling on MTV. I wanted to watch it, but I decided to watch Life as a House again for the millionth time (yes, I cried). I figured that, like every other show on MTV, the XBox commercial/show would be replayed no less than seven-hundred-thirty-three-thousand-nine-hundred-twenty-seven times. I also figured that I could probably catch up with all the information from the show by simply checking out my favorite videogame-review websites today. As it turns out, the show totally sucked and didn't give hardly any information about the system besides what it looks like, and that it has interchangeable face plates (a feature that is totally retarded, but will probably be utilized by all the Nokia cell phone face plate freaks out there. And I mean "freak" in a good way.)
Gamespot.com has some screenshots from a new XBox 360 game called Full Auto. I hate to sound like a party pooper, but I was not impressed by the screen shots at all. I'd say we probably won't see anything impressive until after E3.
On the bright side, Microsoft announced that they are releasing Perfect Dark 0 as a launch title for the XBox 360. If you're not familiar with Perfect Dark, it was a pseudo-sequel to Goldeneye 007 for the Nintendo 64. It used the same engine as Goldeneye, but Rare had lost the license to the Bond name to EA (who totally ruined the Bond game franchise). This announcement has bolstered my decision to pass on the new Nintendo system. But that's another discussion for another day.
My wife and I will be barbecueing tomorrow with a few friends. Come rain or come shine, meat will be burning on a grill at approximately 3:00 tomorrow. It will be good times.
Stop by the forums and tell us what you think about politics, religion, and your favorite fast food restaurants. It will be good times.
