December Update

It’s been a while since I last posted. My bad. Resigning from Home Depot and starting at F.Y.E. took up most of my time about a month ago, and not I’m working a lot of closings so basically I eat, sleep, play games, and work (not necessarily in that order). Speaking of games, I tried Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins…both were disappointing, Borderlands especially. It just felt so empty…I just couldn’t get into the game. I know it’s a hack n’ slasher but if I want that, I’ll just install Diablo II and have some fun. Dragon Age: Origins wasn’t quite as disappointing, but after playing Demon’s Souls, DA:O was VERY easy. No real challenge…very bland textures…and the story just didn’t really pull me in.

Such is life (for a gamer). I’ve been enjoying (and loathing) Modern Warfare 2 for the last few weeks. I’m closing in on level 70 (Prestige). Hopefully they re-balance the game a bit more and tweak a few things, otherwise the game, while frustrating, can be quite a bit of fun. I also dabbled in a bit of inFAMOUS and Uncharted 2 recently. Both fun games, though Uncharted 2 has definitely lived up to the hype. Good story, great humor, and it looks fucking fantastic! Other than that, I’ve been trying to slowly build up my Blu-ray collection and I’ve been plugging away at finishing up my Christmas shopping. I think I’m all set, though I might pick up a few small things, but we’ll see. Looking forward to Christmas this year, and Callan’s been in an unusually cheerful/Christmas-y mood, it’s nice

Until next time, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and happy Holidays.

James Roday as Nathan Drake?

While I have yet to buy Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (financial issues, aka, I’m broke), I have had the opportunity to watch this series on USA Network called Psych.  Callan (my girlfriend) and I polished off the first 3 seasons over the last two weeks and so far I am thoroughly impressed.  James Roday stars as Shawn Spencer, lead Psychic Detective for the Santa Barbara Police Department.  If anyone reading this has seen the show, you no doubt know that James Roday can be quite the comedian.  His fast-paced, witty 80′s references fit him perfectly.  While slightly shorter than the Uncharted character Nathan Drake, I think James Roday would be perfect for the role given Roday buffs up just a little bit.  His attitude, personality, and humor fit the role to a tee and paired up with a great supporting cast, I think he would be ideal for the rumored Uncharted movie.  But don’t take my word for it…
