A week or so ago, I mentioned that you could get your mitts on a beta of the Neverwinter Nights tools - all you had to do was pre-order, which any sentient being has already done.

Check this out - Monkey and I saw Episode II on a system like that, and if you can possibly wrangle it, I'd recommend you see it (or see it again, perhaps) on a digital screen. That shit be mad crisp. It was like they had a gigantic monitor in the theater.

I cried during Episode II.

I saw the greatest Ad Council banner ever the other day on Planet GameCube, and I just wanted to share it with everyone. Sublime!

Extra flavour.

The latest strip is up. Coolest Dad ever? By comparison, my own father is like a drunken, toothless hobo gumming a hot dog.

Oooooooh.

Hot damn. I'd definitely watch that again, and not out of some twisted sense of Star Wars loyalty, either.

Some of you may remember back in March I mentioned that Kara had purchased a very special anniversary gift for me. I was to be the proud owner of a Hyper 64 mother board. Well the package never came and after some unsuccessful attempts to resolve the situation with the post office I had basically given up all hope. Today as we were heading out the door one of my neighbors came by with a package for me. He told me it had been delivered to his place by accident back in March and he had just forgotten about it. Well I opened it up and I’ll be damned it it wasn’t my Hyper 64.

Okay, one more thing: Brenna got the rest of her tattoo, which you can see here at the Monkeycams. On a scale of Hot to Super Hot, I'm going to call this one a "God Damn."

Just got this in my mail.

I knew I was forgetting something.

When the whole console price war was just a blasphemous rumour - and really, a rumor that's been around awhile - it didn't really warrant a strip yet. With only one player left to act, it's probably time we chime in. There's an interesting article at MSNBC about the whole thing, which you are welcome to think of as an appetizer.

Writing reviews is like pulling teeth for me, like pulling my own teeth with no help and improvised tools. Here's your Xbox Controller S review. I'm going to try to get this second one out, but I wouldn't put much stock in it. My keyboard and I seem to be fighting.

The Neo-Geo got mentioned on Slashdot today. I started to scroll down through the comments and immediately saw emulators mentioned. I quickly closed my browser window and took some deep calming breaths. I am not going to have this argument today. I am not going to have this argument today. I AM NOT GOING TO HAVE THIS ARGUMENT TODAY!

Sorry for the lack of posts. I honestly didn't think anyone would care if I skipped a few days. It turns out many of you were interested in hearing my thoughts on the poor Star Wars Episode 2 reviews floating around. I'll tell you Thursday after I see it. Oh and for those of you who have already seen it, please stop filling my mail box with spoilers.
