5th time's a charm. Left Bank Books didn't carry. Elliot Bay Books can satisfy my craving. Got RANT on hold. I'm walking there after work. I'm willing to suck up paying for hard-cover (even though the paperback comes out in a week). I'm not a big fan of hard-covers though. I always end up throwing away the fancy covers 'cause I know it's just going ( Read more... )

So, I'm going tonight to the midnight launch of GTA IV, at EB Games in Pacific Place where I pre-ordered my game. I'm about ready to leave for that.

Though, Rob cares nothing about Battlestar Galactica, and instead is going to the Yellow Card show tonight with Jeremy. However, Jim might come ( Read more... )

Traditionally, movies based off of video games are for the most part crap. However, Hitman wasn't all that bad; just watched it. Compared to most game adapted films, it's an improvement. I'd would also say the same for Silent Hill. These aren't great films but they're entertaining and very well adapted. Who knows, maybe one day we'll get game ( Read more... )
