I’ve jumped out of a perfectly good airplane and enjoyed myself, but there’s no way you’d catch me doing this. These guys are insane.

This guy wins the internet, at least for today.
It’s difficult to express just how awesome* the upcoming Watchmen movie has the potential to be. I’ve listened to the fortuitously-named Zack Snyder talk about the film, and he’s remarkably forthcoming about his desire to keep the look, feel, story, and ultimate point of the novel intact.
Here’s hoping WB and Fox settle their dispute, and that the movie comes out on time and doesn’t suck.
* - Warning: if you haven’t read the novel, this will likely look very campy and derivative to you. Rest assured that it’s not. 
Late last night history was made… Regardless of which side of the presidential coin you fall on, if you missed Obama’s victory speech, you should make time to watch it, as it’s going to go down in history with the other seminal speeches in American history.
McCain’s concession speech was excellent, as well. Aside from a few asshats in his audience that clearly pissed him off…
Ok, this is a pretty awesome story.
Summary: Rick Foster, author of the short story that inspired Rush’s Red Barchetta, connects with Neil Peart 25 years after the song was written.
I knew of Buddy Rich, but I don’t think I had ever seen him play before today. I was reading up on Neal Peart and found that Rich is one of Peart’s idols. ‘Hot damn,’ I thought to myself–if Neal Peart idolizes someone’s drumming, it’s probably pretty decent.
Words do not describe.
I took down Comrade Black this evening, ending my first run-through of de Blob. My earlier impressions stand–this is a phenomenal game. It’s extremely impressive that Blue Tongue took such a simple mechanic and turned it into such a polished product. And it’s made all the more impressive due to the fact that Blue Tongue essentially came out of nowhere with this–their past games include such hits as Nicktoons, Barnyard and The Polar Express.
I’ve got 65/100 achievements after the initial run-through. Looking forward to re-playing to get that closer to 100.
Yes, another videogame post. I’ve spent much of the last week playing de Blob, a rather unique new platformer on the Wii. I’ll let you check out the review for more detail if you’re interested, but let me save you the trouble and state for the record that if you own a Wii, you should already be on your way to the store to pick up a copy.
And now, as I realize that I’m 28 and writing about a videogame in which I control an amorphous paintroller-revolutionary battling the evil iNKT corportation and its leader, Comrade Black, aiming to save my fellow Graydian-converted Raydians and restore color to Chroma City, I believe I’ll leave you all (both?) for another few weeks.
