“In a meteor shower, never climb a tree. It’ll catch fire.”

Apparently there is a giant rock next to Nifty Fifty’s. In and around said rock is a miniature golf course. Who knew.

Unleashed

Why must you pull me back in Sonic, why must you tug at my heart so.

High Res

Facts Of Life: #256

Ninjas with 50% of their limbs are 6100% cooler.

Kill Count

Brian Mueller is leaving a path of destruction wherever he goes.  So far two Xboxes, at least one guitar, and copy of Rock Band have fallen by his hands.  The Xboxes are in stable condition, but will be closely monitored in the days to come.

Hideo 2

I have finally gotten around to checking out the Metal Gear Retrospective over at Game Trailers. If you don’t know the story behind the series it’s a nice summary of each game and how they fit the overall storyline. While it isn’t the most detailed, it’s much better than reading through pages and pages on wikipedia.

Music Roundup

I’ve been plowing through a lot of solid new releases lately. This post is mainly a reminder to myself of what I have added recently. Coming into 2008 I didn’t think there was much to look forward to music wise, but so far I have been pleasantly surprised.

The Last Shadow Puppets – The Age of the Understatement

The Fratellis – Here We Stand

Foxboro Hot Tubs – Stop Drop and Roll

Weezer – The Red Album

The Dresden Dolls – No, Virginia

Wolf Parade – At Mount Zoomer

Coldplay – Viva La Vida

Ladytron – Velocifero

N.E.R.D. – Seeing Sounds

My Morning Jacket – Evil Urges

The Good With The Bad

Good: Frosty Floats are divine.

Bad: Dogs in Ninja Gaiden 2 deserve to be obliterated (bats too).

The Doctor Is Sin

While it was nice to get the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend out of the way last week, I’m excited to see this season’s first Venture family episode. Hopefully some other old friends drop by (Master Billy Quizboy), but I think its safe to assume we’ll see the return of the magic murder bag. In a related story, I could really go for an entire box of ice cream sandwiches today.

[Edit: If Chase Utley wasn't Chase Utley Shane Victorino would be getting a lot more attention right now.]

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica

Recently I decided to sit down and finally watch a show that I knew I would like, The Office. My love for it has increased rapidly and I am looking forward to new episodes in the fall. In other Kevin Gurney news, I traveled to Bala Cynwyd for cheesesteak from Mama’s Pizzeria. I haven’t experienced one of these dream filled sandwiches in a few years, and it is just as disgusting and delicious as I remember it.

While it is hard to win a baseball game by yourself, Shane Vic came pretty close to single handedly beating the Hotlanta Braves tonight.

# 26

Only fitting to have the twenty-sixth post to feature #26 himself. There isn’t enough time in the day to give him his due.

Also reason #327 I need to have a green screen at some point in my life.
