These days, I don’t play a lot of games to their finish. I just don’t have the continuous amount of time to play as I used to. This is why I pretty much switched from playing RPG style games to action games that I can pick up and play real quick. I think there may be a trend in this as a lot more RPG games have taken to having smallerr missions that play into a larger overall style. However, over the Thanksgiving break, I managed to finish Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic. It was a great game that had a lot of twists in the plot. It was actually better than the new Star Wars movies. I finished as a goody goody Jedi. My brother is playing as a Dark side jedi. He’ll probably finish it over Christmas.

Okay, I’ve been listening to a lot of hip-hop and rap lately. It’s a great way to pass the time while working out. I gots to admit that def beat keeps movin my feet.

So for a while I was wondering what the hell the Jay-Z HOVA song meant. Then I found this translation. Okay, now I’m good. This stuff needs to be translated like weak poetry. Cool. Peace out my peeps.

Hopefully, everyone who reads this has heard of Halo, the Xbox game. What a great game!

Well some really talented players/artists have made a movie in the Halo game. It’s really impressive to see it. I’m just in awe of how skilled and ingenious it was to have done. There have been some videos before of people beating levels of Quake 3 and half-life, but this is the first that I actually watched and liked. As of this writing there are 9 episodes of Red Vs Blue, but with an estimated 22 episodes in total I’ve got something to look forward to for weeks to come.

Here’s their synopsis of the series:
In the time between the Covenant invasion of the outer planets ( Halo ) and the subsequent alien invasion of Earth ( Halo 2 ), there was a brief period of civil war among the human marines. Places like Sidewinder, Derelict and Chiron TL34 were the sites of fierce battles where red and blue warriors fought for control of mankind's future. The Blood Gulch Chronicles tell the story of the men stationed in a desolate outpost as they fight for control of the universe's most strategic dry creek bed in the middle of a box canyon.


Some of you may know that I really like to cook stuff. Well, I went to a friend’s wedding not to long ago and one of the hors d’oeuvres plate had this awesome cheese spread. The thing that caught my attention was this warm gooey bread wheel, filled with cheese. It tasted so good that I asked the chef for the recipe for this “Baked Brie wheel” and I thought some of you might like to know my experiences.

Honda just released this really cool advertisement. Check it out! Apparently, it took over 600 takes to get it exactly right and lasts for 2 minutes. It is really awesome and almost every second of it is real footage. It’s pretty entertaining. I’m not sure if that wagon is going to be released in the US this year though.

The link in this post is to a mirrored copy of the ad. The one on the Honda site was way to slooooow.
