Oh man, I'm stoned and that sounds so good right now. I lack half the ingredients right now, though.

After wanting to get a DS since the system stole the show at E3 (I was there and played the games) I finally purchased one tonight. Unfortunately, the Mario 64 bundle has been discontinued, but I did pick up Nintendogs: Chihuaha and Friends. I figure my fiance has a chihuaha and I have a German shepherd, which is also in that version of the game, so it suits both of us. I generally love innovative and quirky games, as well as sims. I adored Seaman and Animal Crossing (a DS version comes out later this year!), to give a couple examples. Nintendogs is quickly becoming my new addiction. I created a facsimile of my real life German shepherd, Thunder, and played for about an hour. I gave him food and water, petted him, taught him to sit (which I had to erase since it sounded too much like "shake"), shake, and lie down, before he grew tired of learning tricks. I also took Thunder for a walk, stopping by the park for a game of catch the frisbee, and there was an encounter with another dog whom he seemed interested in. He also pooped once and pissed twice, lol. This game is so charming. I love caring for my puppy, and it's something I plan to play every day. Plus I can take it wherever I go. If you have a DS, get this game now. If you don't, buy one. I hadn't bought a portable since the game Boy Color, but Nintendogs and many other releases coming this year make the DS well worth a purchase, plus it can play 99% of GBA games out there.

My Xbox magazines don't come with demo discs for sme reason, but I just played the Burnout Revenge demo on Madden for the first time. I hadn't bothered trying it at E3 since I normally hate racing games. WOW. This shit is fucking amazing. I need to pick up Burnout 3: Takedown for $20 when I go buy my PS2 (although i'll likely get the Xbox version).

That's one of my favorite songs in DDR Ultramix 2 for the Xbox.

I like good old sunny side up eggs with salt and pepper fried in bacon grease. Add hot sauce after cooking.

If you reveal any spoilers here for KOTOR, please use spoiler tags for me. Also, I can't find the issue of EGM with KOTOR "Afterthoughts". It listed the best order to go through the planets. Anyone know what I'm referring to?

You won't get much, but your best bet is definitely GameRush/Blockbuster. They usually have the best trade in prices, plus the best deals. The one they have now, you can trade in 2 games and pre-order an upcoming release for $29.99. The credit for the games you trade in is deducted from that $30 as well.

Thanks... Yes, I know about the wrestling agmes already. Sports games, I already own on the Xbox. I also have GTA III and Vice City on Xbox. Basically, I'm looking for games that are PS2 exclusives.

Anybody got 'em?

Thanks. Velocity looks alright, Orton vs. Mysterio should be good... Hopefully they don't job out Mr. Kennedy to Booker. Why the fuck are they running Benoit/Jordan again?

I've been putting it off despite my newfound Star Wars obsession because I have 1 RPG I'm 50 hours into (Tales of Symphonia) and I'm only 5 hours into Jade Empire, as well as about a dozen other games. Thus, I have convinced myself not to start new ones (although I keep buying new games, lol). Ah, fuck it. I may open the game up anyway. EDIT: I'll start on Thursday... I'll be bsuy all day today, so I didn't want to begin the game and then not get to keep playing if I get hooked. Between this game and PS2/DS stuff, as well as my recent return to my town of Cockasia in Animal Crossing and the Madden league, my girlfriend is going to hate me.

Ha, I even had a guy at the theater compare me to Bud Bundy a couple weeks back when Melissa and I went to see deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. Usually, I only get thsoe comparisons on the internet.

Dolomike is the best freestyle rapper I have ever encountered. He should have a record deal now, seriously. I met him at a bar- he's actually friends with the guy who wants to shoot em, Old Nasty, lol- and I went out with him and Jaime from work, hitting up bars in University Village and Dolomike (www.myspace.com/kingdolomike) was freestyling and baggin' on people all night long. BOW TO KING DOLOMIKE.

I still haven't even opened the first KOTOR. And Smash Brothers was horribly overrated.

www.gamingring.com is the closest any forum has come to the late, great wrestlinggames.com, and it's run by the same people. www.cheapassgamer.com is great, and there's wrestling discussion. GameFAQs has pretty much everything, and aside from some annoying kids, it's a good forum.

The Spin Doctors have a new album out, or coming out. And I really like Possum Kingdom...

It's Ashlee.

One of my cats chewed off the foot of my Vader actionj figure from the mid-90s.

The only time I have talked to The Franchise on AIM was early in the morning, on my friend Josh's computer, after he and I had walked to Melissa's old apartment when I was still trying to woo her. My, how time flies.

I guess my statement was wrong, then. I was going by info I gathered at CheapAssGamer.com.

Maria reminds me of one of those random "women" on MySpace who has several webcam pictures and claims to be there just to make as many friends as possible and to chat. I could be way off in my assumptions, however.

But since he was contractually obligated, he could have faced a lawsuit had he not shown up.

No, it was statedon G4 yesterday that the DS has moved more units than the PSP.

Supposedly he didn't work the house show since he was already contractually obligated to appear at an indy event.
