Just when you've thought it's safe to relax, along comes a surprise ScottyGasm to the face!

As always, hello my lovely Dtoiders! At the moment I'm exhausted and eating hot dogs (which are a nice comfort food for me). Back on the unemployment line after my temporary job ended today, which is a shame but at least I'll be able to focus on a less temporary thing to do with my life. Or... just play video games until I realize I'm almost broke and take the first job that'll hire me. Either way really.

Speaking of gaming though, things have been good. Beat ODST, which I mostly liked. Frankly didn't dig the story or any of the main characters, none of whom were memorable or even really all that likable. It's a real shame the good story was all within the audio logs, which did something interesting and unique without really interfering with a fairly well defined period in the Halo universe... On top of that I took advantage of a used game sale and picked up Arkham Asylum, Raiden Fighters Aces, Prince of Persia, and Tomb Raider Anniversary for $60, less than the price of Arkham Asylum brand new. Go me! Plan on digging into those soon. ^_^

Um, I was going to also talk about the latest Dtoid/Reddit spat, but I honestly can't be bothered. There are people who would be more than willing to argue with me and they care a lot more than I do. I will however ask that if someone could give me a legitimate reason why Reddit and Digg exist I would appreciate it. <3
