Downhome

Ha, Sabu gets to job to Umaga afterall.

I'm just shocked that Big Show's team got to come down the main ramp instead of DX.

I got the "magic wand turns you into a woman" storyline last night. my God, it's horrible and it is NOT just a dream. Not only does the wand turn you into a woman, but lots of other crazy shit goes down also.

I just picked up all three. I called two different BK stores, and both told me that you don't need to buy anything, and instead you could just come in (or drive-through, which is what I did) and buy all three at the same time - again, no purchase necessary. Also, there was a 48 hour XBL Gold card in each of the cases. I don't need them, I gave them to my cousin, but that's a great bonus since these games are so cheap in the first place.

It doesn't look like I'll get a Wii tonight. Every Walmart in my area, and that's about four of five stores, already has lines so long that all of the systems are already taken.

I got it in the mail today, and have already read through the instruction boolet. I can't wait to actually get a Wii now.

I just got Zelda in the mail from FamilyVideo (around $40). Now to just find a Wii to play it on!

Wow, GameSpot tore Red Steel a new asshole with their review. They gave it a 5.5 out of 10. http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/redstee...mp;subj=6162018

I hope you don't take this as a PS3 flame. It's just funny:

Well, here I am without a Wii pre-order yet and Red Steel and Zelda are on the way to me from Family Video (about $40 each after the coupon). I don't want to have two games with no system to play em on!

Like I've already told you, it was favorite episode of SNL in years. Maybe even my favorite since Will and Jimmy left the show. I enjoyed it from top to bottom (I even give a pass to the stupid Out of Breath Jogger bit since it was so short, and was just there to fill a minute), and it also gave us a few classic SNL moments, something that also hasn't happened in a very long time. “Bobby McFerrin raped my grandmother” indeed. It's too damn bad that Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, and Christopher Walken can't just host the show each and every week.

The Walmart in Central, SC (right up the road from Clemson) only got six, count em SIX PS3 systems in stock, and then six more "rain checks". To be a college town that shocked me. I was sold that about 40-50 people in line there wouldn't be able to get one after camping out for hours and for some, days.

Click here for the IGN Rayman Raving Rabbids review. It sounds pretty solid with a score of 8.3 out of 10. Closing Comments Rayman Raving Rabbids is a gamble for Ubisoft because it is so dramatically different from its predecessors. It's not a platformer, but don't let that deter you because it is still easily one of the better games available for Nintendo's new generation system this year. Ubisoft understands that Wii is about new ways to play and it has with Rabbids created a title that utilizes the Wii remote 70 times over. The majority of minis in the title are fun whether you're playing by yourself or with friends, although there are the occasional duds. The biggest drawback is that many of the minis are not designed for simultaneous play; instead you go in sequence. But even with that being true the experience is still engaging and addictive and the title's sense of humor is in a league of its own. It is almost unfair to label this effort a Rayman game because the real stars of the project are the bunnies, whose blank faces and inevitable agonized screams will make you laugh over and over again. And while I'm at it, the following was posted at CAG:

Holy crap. GameStop just gave NBA 07 a horrible review with a 4.9 out of 10 score. Click here to check it out. The game doesn't even have in-game announcers. Like someone on DVDTalk said, this screenshot says it all: NBA 07 on the PlayStation 3 doesn't have the entertaining story mode that the PlayStation 2 version has, but it does have most of that version's flaws, and some new ones, too. The Good: Multicolored shot meter works well; nba replay is fun for a short while. The Bad: The Life story mode is nowhere to be found; no announcers; unimpressive graphics; poor artificial intelligence and buggy gameplay; $20 more than the superior ps2 version.

Well, Borat seems to still be going strong with $2 million yesterday, bringing the total so far up to $74,153,701.

I'm not sure what the deal is about this game not being different. I love the new controls in the game, and to me it feels way different. I know that the basics are pretty much the same, but the "total control" moves are great, as are the hot spots and that sort of thing. The ladder match seems to be way improved, with a kickass new animation where you set up one ladder and run up it. It's also a lot easier to do top rope moves, including top rope finishers. It's also the first time I've been online with a wrestling game, since I have Xbox Live. I found this funny:

Click here to download the Loveline from last night with Jenna and James. I recorded it myself, and missed the first five minutes or so, but it should do. I took out all of the commercials as well and made each segment a separate .mp3 file. There are six .mp3 files in all.

Here is the little bit I found. I haven't even read all of this yet, I don't like too many spoilers. I just know that it does mention Ed being in the episode, so read at your own risk. I left the last line so you can see it, just since I did read that part, and it doesn't have any spoilers in it:

Jenna and James Gunn is on Loveline right now, and she was just talking about her vagina...

There is already a line of about 10-15 people at my local Walmart. They are being forced to wait outside, in the rain. The store is only getting ten of the systems, a combination of both versisons, and the only people who will be allowed a chace at one of them are those who are sitting in one of the chairs that Walmart has outside.

There was just a bit on FOX News about how the PS3 can't play all previous PS2 games, and that Sony admits it to be so. That's the first time I've heard that from a mainstream news source. Best Buy boots PS3 line just days before the launch!

I bought this game at lunch today but wont play it until later today.

Could it ever be possible to use a USB cable and an external HD for the 360?
