I have nothing important to say. I could complain about random annoyances, but I don't feel like it. I just feel like typing something.

Yesterday I downloaded the F.E.A.R 2 demo and played through it promptly.





I am very excited for it, the demo made me realize why I enjoy the first so much. It's not necessarily about the scares, but more about how awesome the actually shooting feels. Every single bullet seems to have such an impact that you really "feel".

I am also glad they aren't including the events of the expansions in the sequel. They weren't bad or anything, but it just seems right since this is done by the original developers.

Anyway, it was a tease, but I am totally buying it day one, probably through Steam, which I have grown to love after hating for so long.

In movie news, there is a new awesome Watchmen website with bitchin' character "trailers" and bios that everybody should look through.

I think it's not safe to say the movie has a shot at being something truly special. Not just another comic book popcorn cash in fuckup film.

Also, if that site is any indication, it's going to have a great score.

I've got nothing else to report.

Greatest game ever invented.




Last night I went to see a hockey game with my parents and my brother. It was the first in a very long time and it was incredible.

It was also the Glenn Anderson jersey retirement night, so there was a ceremony before the game that was pretty much an hour of standing and clapping and honoring the guy and his insane career (this is not a bad thing. It was awesome) and it was pretty emotional. the guy almost broke down in tears a few times.

It's kind of amazing to see him and all the other "big" players from the glory days on the same ice and to hear the fans letting them know how loved the still are for the memories they provided.

The actual game was incredible, easily the most entertaining I've seen all season.

Ethan Moreau got a mother fucking hatrick goal with .4 seconds left in the game and the place went fucking nuts.

I was THIS close to throwing my hat onto the ice (as is the tradition) but realized...well, I only have one hat.

But it was cool watching them all rain down onto the ice.

Anyway, it all makes me realize how much I love the sport. Seeing it live is a whole other experience that I had nearly forgotten.

Only bad part is the cost ($131 each for the seats we had) but thankfully my dad got them for free from some guy at work.

I know none of you guys are really that into it, but I am officially suggesting that we all go see a playoff game IF the oilers make it this year. Even if we get the shittiest, cheapest seats in the building...I just want to experience that.

You know what is going to be fucking awesome?

Alan Wake

I have been looking forward to this game forever but forget about it for months and months at a time due to it being delayed (it may never come out) but jesus fuck does it ever sound RIGHT up my alley.

So I wait patiently.

That's all.

Soooo guys,

The good doctor seems to think I may be afflicted by Cluster headaches (worth clicking just for the awesome first image) without diving into my head, anyway.

I had a sinus X-ray done as well as a blood and urine test today to top it off. I guess just to rule out other factors.

It's quite bizarre to be feeling not bad for a few minutes and then almost crippled by head pain the next, let me tell you.

I also got some super painkiller shit that I have yet to try out, hopefully it at least helps a little.

It's just annoying because otherwise I feel not bad. It's just that feeling like your head is going to implode sucks the fun and enjoyment out of every single activity.

I think I write a post like this once every few months and to be honest I am quite sick of it.

I am tempted to just quit working and go on a long ass vacation in a desperate attempt to leave all the shit behind.

Or apply for a different job.

It's too bad I can't swim for shit, because being alone on a tropical island would be pretty much heaven.

well guys,

I feel like shit. My head feels as if it has been kicked in by some RUFFIANS and is still spinning like a top...or a dreidel. Or something else that spins.

The point is that it sucks.

Add to that the fact that I am have never felt more tired in my entire life and it just makes for a shitty time. Especially at work. I should probably have called in, but I hate missing work. Yes, the guy who mostly hates his job dislikes not showing up..it's weird, I know.

And it's not even about the money. It's just the way I am.

I really didn't want to post this just to complain though. I'm just doing so because at the moment my head feels well enough to let me remain upright.

I finished Mirror's Edge the other day. It is probably the most frustrating game I've played in a long time. I almost threw my controller against the wall more than once. I was seriously SO close.

Not that I mind...I mean, I kept playing so it isn't really a bad thing. You just have to be in the mood to deal with it.

Also, I got this the other day:





It is 42 inches of goodness that is pretty much too large for this room. I will either mount it to an opposite wall somewhere and do some rearanging, or move the fuck out.

I'm not very picky about my TV's. It looks good and I got it for a good price and that is that. Considering I was using a 19 inch Citizen LCD before this (which I had no problems with), I'd say it is a step up.

And no, I have not yet removed the plastic or stickers that are on it because:

1. It annoys the hell out of my brother

and

2. I got it the day I started feeling like shit and had barely enough energy to set up.

I also got a Blu Ray player since my brother's friend gave me a good deal. I'm not going to really start buying Blu ray discs yet, but I wanted a player that upscales regular DVD's to 1080p and for the price it was just worth it since it plays both anyway.

Well, this is making me dizzy so it's time to go lay on the couch like a lump.

Over and out.
