"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.

Countin' down the days till XBox 360 launches.

Here's some teaser pics. Wish I had a TV like that lol

Fark.com forums amuse me too much sometimes. The actor, William Hootkins, who played Jek Porkins in Star Wars: A New Hope died recently of Pancreatic cancer. Here is the choice comments on that story:

I always thought his weight problem reflected poorly on the rebels.
I thought I felt a fat disturbance in the force.
If I ever started a band, I wanted to name them "Eject Porkins."
I always wanted to see some food wrappers fly around if he did a barrel roll.
Stay on target Porkins... stay on target.
The first casualty of the Battle of Yavin. His sacrifice will not be forgotten.
I loved porkins. Why couldn't he hold it? HE SAID HE COULD!!! WHY DID HE LIE!?!?! god take me instead!
Okay, I'm not a Star Wars fan, but since I was a little kid, I've always wondered why they used such a big guy in an X-wing fighter. I mean seriously, what was the reasoning behind that? You'd think his weight would hinder the manuverability of such a spacecraft.
Crash and burn, Porkins. I'll see you again on the big Death Star in the Sky.

from IMDB:

EverQuest II (2004) (VG) (as Bill Hootkins) ....

He was also in Raiders of the Lost Ark, Batman, and a River Runs Through it-not to mention a slew of voicework.

RIP Porkins we miss you.

LOL George Takei has told the world he's boldly gone where no man has gone before...he's gay.

I'm shocked. Next thing you know Richard Simmons is going to come out. (Or take that one to the grave lol)

And of course all the news stories used the gayest photo of him they could find...

Sorry to add word verification to my comments, but I was really tired of getting 2-3 comments a day of things like "LOVE THE SITE try out our VIAGRA!" or the even less coy "SEXSEXSEXMYWEBCAMSITE!" Now maybe you won't have to see the "comment deleted by blog owner" (which incidentally I found out would disappear anyways if I chose the "Delete Forever" option which I hadn't been). Yay for spam-free comments!

Wish it was Christmas already?

Here's a little Nintendo Cheer.

I find your lack of cholesterol disturbing...

You probably know comedy is a brewin’ directly ahead when you read the statement “I ain’t homophobic, but-“
The comedy following in this case is from one Rev. Willie F. Wilson of Union Temple Baptist Church:


“Any time somebody got to slap some grease on your behind, and stick something in you, it’s something wrong with that. Your butt ain’t made for that. You got blood vessels and membranes in your behind. And if you put something unnatural in there, it breaks them all up. No wonder your behind is bleeding. It’s destroying us. Can’t make no connection with a screw and another screw. The Bible says, ‘God made them male and female.’ The Hebrew word ‘neged,’ which means complementary nature-there is something unique to man and unique to woman, and it takes those two things to complement each other. You can’t make a connection with two screws. It takes a screw and a nut!”

Hilarious!

All Your Halo Are Belong To Us

Bungie has posted some stats regarding how many Halo 2 games have been played since November 9th 2004. To date 324,362,454 games have been played online. Or 21,006 years worth. Longer than human existence.

Personally speaking though, this is the most horrifying statistic: The Halo player who has played the most games to date (his identity will remain secret in order to protect his job) has played a staggering, mind-boggling 14,919 games, spending an average of six hours per day, and playing around 71 games. Per day. Now that guy is a freak. Seriously.
