So yeah...

Well hello there people! So yeah it's been quite some time, about four months now and allot have happened. I'm happy that I survived X-mas and it left just as quickly as it got here. I hope everyone got what he or she wanted. My New Year was all right. All I have to talk about today is a few tidbits here and there. I apologize for not having more compelling issues to talk about.

I don't know about you, but Howie Mandell is great! For those not in the know...he hosts Deal or No Deal on NBC. I watched it when they aired it for about a week back in December, but since they decided to bring it back I've been hooked. For the most part I hate modern TV. I'll be blunt, it downright sucks. Now I love TV. All the old stuff. TV Land is my savior. So it's kind of refreshing to find something modern that I like to watch. Oh and cartoons of course. My old lady doesn't like the fact that I watch so many cartoons I think, but whatever. We'll just see how long it lasts. My luck since I've found something good to watch and they can it a week later.

The gaming industry is abuzz lately. Sony FINALLY decided that they would admit to a delay in launching the PS3, which by the way I'm convinced they've known about since oh, I don't know, before Christmas. It doesn’t surprise me one bit, and I'm actually happy about it. It gives me time to save more money. No, I don't have a 360. Had to cancel at the last minute cuz' I couldn’t come up with the scratch. But it's all right, there isn't a "killer ap" on the 360 yet anyway. There are some pretty cool things on it, but nothing I must have. One of the big titles they were hyping up so much, perfect dark zero, turned out to be not all the great anyway according to the articles I've read. Adam and Morgan said it was average but opinions very greatly. As far as other reviews I've seen nothing that says "holy shit I've got to pimp my wife to get this!”

What bothers me the most about the entire launch is that M$ still says that the launch was a great success. I have a huge problem with that. When you can't keep up with initial demand the months later, and then had the nerve to cut the initial number of consoles available at launch in half about a month before, I'd say it was less then stellar. Okay so it wasn't a debacle. But come on, there are consoles still on the shelves in Japan. So tell me this, why don't they take those consoles and bring them here? It only makes sense to me. Now Sony decided they're going the "worldwide launch" rout. Which to me is a disturbing trend. I have no problem with waiting to get the console after the Japanese. Okay, so I'm not the typical impatient gamer. But it doesn't bother me. I still think it's not over. I trust Sony; they know what they're doing. I just think that plans will change the closer we get to November. Well okay so that’s like all I have to say at this point. I'm sure my luck I'll probably end up not making an entry for another four months but I'll try to get better I swear.

Until then people...
