Patient Zero

One of the most commonly uttered phrases to me is “You should REALLY go to the doctor”. Every year, I develop a chronic cough that just doesn’t stop for months. My current treatment is just to continuously suck on a extra strength halls menthol drop.

Well, enough about me, what I want to talk about is the whole hospital going experience. The general method of seeing a doctor is to set up an appointment, often times weeks in advance, and then when the doctor finally sees you, he makes a good guess on what your ailments are. I think doctors can be equated to auto mechanics for the body. Continue reading

pLayday: 5/6 – GTA 4 Real, yo.

When you are low on health, there is only one way to REALLY get it back

pLayday: 5/6 – GTA 4 Real, yo.

When you are low on health, you can either try to find a hooker, cox her into your car (which has to look nice), drive somewhere nice and quiet, and take some time to get your health back.

Or you can go into the local burger joint and be out in a 10 seconds. Also, an apparently fun Free Mode multiplayer gametype is to hold up in a fast food joint and see how many stars you can amass.

GTA 4. Zazz and Kflair have 2 xboxs due to some creative lending, so we can hopefully get both of them in the game. Everyone owns this, including phyzkid. Let’s see if we can get a nice large group and hop around the play types. I’ve definitely been enjoying Cops Vs Robbers mode and Free Mode. The team Mayfia work one may be interesting as well (we’ve only dont FFA Mayfia).

Any suggestions? Everyone able to make it?

This guy turned his laptop into a steampunk-themed contraption. It even turns on with a clock-winding key. Cool.

I finally watched: Iron Man

I finally watched: Iron Man

Iron Man is not the most popular comic character in the comic world. Non-comic fans are not very familiar with him, if at all. Comic fans don’t like him from his actions during the Civil War and World War Hulk saga (and probably the upcoming Skrull saga). He’s made an appearance in Xmen Legends 2 as a secret, unlockable character but that would hardly bring people into the movies. So what is it that has people enjoying Iron Man so much? How is it getting such popular reviews?

I finally watched: Bender's Big Score

We\'re Baaaack!

I finally watched: Bender’s Big Score

Futurama’s back. Soon it will be entering a new season on TV. This series will consist of 3(?) straight to DVD movies, which are then cut up and placed on air as episodes. Bender’s Big Score is the first of these straight to DVD movies. The plot involves a bit of time travel, but is not the only reason the pacing and timing of the show is off. Still, more Futurama, even if not in its prime, is better than most television and worth watching for fans of the series.

HTC Touch. In the Ghetto.

Finding the perfect phone is an exercises in futility. I was very hesitant on picking up the HTC touch because at the end of the day, it is still a windows mobile 6 phone device. It would be difficult to talk about a smartphone without speaking of the iPhone, which as a device is very cool hardware wise and the software interface is exactly what a phone needs. I want one.

pLayday: 4/22 – Last minute Gears

pLayday: 4/22 – Last minute Gears

We picked up Gears as our game. First round was a bit of a blow out, but the teams of Phokal, Zazz, Boramis vs. cvang, kFlair, and Euphoric seemed like quite a well-balanced match-up. It was a fun time had by all until Live decided to hiccup. In one second we lost our live connections, which the game detects and then kicks you from the game.

Hopefully this downtime doesn’t occur next week when the game is tentatively GTA IV.

Yup, hope you all have it pre-ordered.
