Don't be a Duke Nukem Forever

Come on Nintendo, don't screw yourself over like this. Correct me if I'm wrong, please do people, but wasn't Super Smash Bros. Brawl originally a Wii launch title? Then Summer, Then December 3rd. Okay, I can deal with that. December 3rd. I'll be playing it at Christmas break, online, kickin' butt. Oh, but wait- they need just a little more time. Fine, not great, but I guess I'd rather have a late but better game than an on-time but not-as-perfect one. Febuary 10th. Okay. But here's the real punch in the crotch. March 9th. March 9th. It was subtle, it was quick, and quite sneaky, but yes, Nintendo has actually moved the date back another month. This is getting kinda crazy. Having Pre-ordered the game in October, and waiting a few years before that, I think a more than a few nintendophiles are kind of upset about this.

Here's what the big N had to say:

“The development is taking slightly longer than expected,” the company said in a news release. “As we're sure you have seen on the Dojo site (www.SmashBros.com), the game contains an unprecedented number of characters, options and experiences. Be sure to keep an eye on the Dojo site for the latest information.”

Tsk, Tsk, guys.

A little tickedly,

Will

I want to see Clovie and I want to see him NOW!

It's 9:57 at night. I'm pausing from typing about every 10 seconds to open my window of the IMDB message board and refresh it, just to make sure i haven't missed anything. And it seems like there's no way that this movie can not let me down, just because of the hype surrounding it.
Which is probably the reason why the particular post has so many periods and why the sentences flow even less than usual. The thing is, I don't even know what the official title of this movie is. Cloverfield has been near the center of my attention for a few days now and I find the number of people freaking out about it is both astounding and maybe a little too much fun. A few days ago if someone started talking to me about the fact that "the new Jamie and teddy Number 10 video is up!" or anything concerning "Slusho" I would have given them a blank stare. Now I might reply with "And did you see the newest tv spot? It was on like 5 minutes ago and its on youtube now!" There must be humdreds of posts about the "picture of the monster" and about 90 percent of them are, in fact, "Easter Ferrets" or other masquerading furry mammals.

My Favorite Monster so far:

That's what I'm talking about. I mean come on this thing's a freakin' beast! It could totally tear the head off of the Statue of Liberty man!. Alright! Peace out!

And We're Back

Indeed, we have gone back. Back to school, back to Canada, back to the place where I dont know the language, the people, the culture, or the store hours. Where the people are rude, the drivers are insane, where the music is rap and where the general mood just seems to be "pissed off." Ladies and gentlemen, I give you, Quebec City. I almost feel bad for places like this. Quebec and Colorado alike are both places I would love to visit on my own free will or even live in for a little while, but given the circumstances, Colorado is 6 week Church-School Hell on my last summer in the states (for a while), and Quebec is just a very long wait at a bus stop where, heaven forbid, I become friends with anyone, I get to say "good bye" in just 6 months! Not awesome.
Anywho, life goes on, and I play Guitar hero 3 to keep my sanity. I will take this opportunity to say that I have, yes, beaten the entire campaign in expert mode, and would like to thank my parents for getting me the game, but mostly Tim, for getting me into the game and showing me the ropes, among many other things. *bows* There you go. And I sit here, in my new Queen t-shirt, lumberjacket, and Buzz Lightyear Star Command Clearance (Planetary Pilot) I find that all I can do is count down days; until the school years over, until Super Smash Bros. finally comes out, until my 18th birthday (1146 days, give or take), and last but not least (it is actually least) until that freakin' Writers Strike is over and I can witness a proper ending to my favorite TV Show of all time, to which the Quote of the Post can be Attributed.

It Just Feels Right

Maybe it's the odd but dearly missed fragrance from Tim's beloved basement. Maybe it's the sight of an evening where ambient city lights dont make it bright out at 11:00 pm. Or it just might be the feeling of waking up at 12:00 noon with an oreo-skittles-halo 3 hangover and mountain dew on your breath; reminding you of last nights wild and sugar driven shenanigans. Whatever or whoever it might be, theres just something altogether perfect, in every way, about coming home to Massachusetts for vacation. There are so many reasons separately that makes it amazing, but put them all together snd you have something else entirely. Junk food is awesome. Best friends are awesome. Halo 3 is awesome. So are cats with tumors, and cats without tumors, and spaghetti, and the movie army of darkness (hail to the king, baby), and old tvs that glow yellow, and scrubs season 6 on dvd, and the anime channel, and visiting an old but not forgotten school, and molasses cookies. And the best part? Its not over yet.
