Don’t you know that it’s insane?

Still recovering from a heated match of God only knows what against my cousin Jen’s child Jackson Sailor. Yeah thats me stomping on him in victory, but all you need to know is that he deserved it. As always I had a great time with the family I rarely see over in Pennsylvania. A quick summary, golf in HD has finally gotten my father excited about getting a new HDTV, I got my hair from my uncle, kids love using cherry tomatoes for dipping but don’t actually like cherry tomatoes, and if Jackson ever gets into a fight his opponent will never have children.

I’m off to finish up my remaining four wins in order to get my Burnout license in Paradise City and pass out.

I finally sent back Zack & Wiki today so hopefully No More Heroes arrives early next week, for now its back to Burnout Paradise. I snagged my Class A license last night, and I’m shooting for the Burnout license this weekend. I still really need to get back to a little game called Zelda as well.

15. Eternal Sonata
14. Assassin’s Creed
13. Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure
12. Skate
11. Guitar Hero III
10. Halo 3
9. Mass Effect
8. Rock Band

6. Bioshock

For those curious from episode 20 of the podcast here is my list of games I’m looking forward to in 2008.

2008 promises to be a year with almost non-stopped releases, and with some games that could already be in development there are sure to be some surprises along the way. Epic and Naughty Dog I’m looking at you.

Yet another blog created by Kevin Gurney

I decided that I wanted a more personal blog than just posting random shit on the Scissors61 site. Yes this is probably the 56th blog I’ve started, because once again I after such a long layoff I wanted to start with something fresh. For now I’ll start off with this lame post, but hopefully I’ll stick with this one.
