"You can say one thing about New Jersey politics:
It makes "The Sopranos" look like "7th Heaven."


The typically dirty Jersey campaign has so far featured a Forrester ad quoting Corzine's ex-wife, Joanne, saying: "When I saw the campaign ad where Andrea Forrester said, 'Doug never let his family down and he won't let New Jersey down,' all I could think was that Jon did let his family down, and he'll probably let New Jersey down, too.
From Kotaku:

Gamestay has tracked down a source inside EB Games that is telling them that the chain is getting a total of 40,000 Xbox 360’s nationwide. While that may sound like a whole heaping, Gamestay is reporting that total pre-orders number 75,000. Sounds like things are going to be getting ugly at EB come Nov 22.

Here’s the breakdown:

GameStop: 18 at one store, despite 90 pre-orders. ( VE reports that GS employee tells them that everything’s fine and they will be able to fulfill all preorders.

Target: 10 to 50 Xbox 360s depending on average volume of store.

Best Buy: 20 to 60 Xbox 360s with a larger shipment coming “later that week.”

Wal-Mart: 10 to 50.

::sigh:: I hope I get mine on launch. Peter really wants his on launch. I've never gotten any system on launch day so it would be kinda cool.

In other news flying down to Atlanta this Sunday. Business training all week. Don't really want to go but I DO want to take the training course we're getting. I should have had this course last February...!

Started playing World of Warcraft. Interesting game and I'm having a lot of fun so far. All you Syracusians sorry we couldn't make it up for Halloween or Homecoming. Check out myself and Jess though. We did well for scrambling for costumes last minute. We were supposed to be Fred and Wilma Flintstone but the costumes never ever fit.

Lets analyze this with the awesome power of analogy. If the video game industry was Disneyland, Microsoft and its lounge would be the “It’s a Small World” ride. Meticulously engineered and expensive, but ultimately there is very little to do and you leave the premises feeling deflated and filled with the desire to indiscriminately kill gnomes. Carrying the analogy further, Sony with its PS3 is Space Mountain — everyone is in the dark and you haven’t got a clue what’s going on, but it’s ex-citing and even makes you pee a little. Nintendo then, is that old bouncy castle on the outskirts of Disneyland, run by a single old man who bought it on eBay and is charging $1 for 10 minutes. The old man hammers a crude “Open 4 bizness” sign into the ground, upon which a stampede of 500,000 children crash their way onto the bouncy castle and have the best time in the whole world, incidentally allowing the old man to do a healthy side-business in bouncy castle-themed merchandise.


hahahahaha

That's XBox Live's new TruSkill ranking system. Make no sense? Yeah neither to me :P But it's copyrighted and supposed to change the face of how we game, (or get own by pimply faced 14 year olds) forever!

I'm the greatest Captain of the Queen's navy
And your record will stand as proof
Be it galley or freighter I'm an expert Navigator
And you're also a world-class poof
My man are quite a feat is mistaken on the street
For a sailor who can pirouette on cue
Well despite your point of view I can thrill a girl or two
But I'd rather get it on with you! Ha-Ha-Ha!

Oh Family Guy I love you.
