This is reminding me a bit of that scene in Scott Pilgrim where he orders a package on Amazon and then immediately goes and sits by the door waiting for it to arrive.

:oops: Ha! Yeah, I don't get many new games so I'm pretty excited. Plus, I'm off of work tomorrow through Monday so I was hoping to have it in my hands so I could enjoy it during my mini-vacation. Plus, if I can't get excited around you guys, then who can I??

Hey, I'm not judging - I've been super duper excited about a delivery before; I'm just being amused by that mental picture. :P I think it's great you're so excited and I hope it lives up to expectations.

My first impression of Dragon Age is a very good one. I pretty much completed my origin story as a human warrior... I know, pretty lame but for some reason I always want to be a warrior. I thought about being a mage but decided not to.

I was so sucked in to the early story. BioWare really knows how to portray a good story.

New Year Day 2011 has dawned on the planet Earth.thom_maytees

What's this crazy talk, we've got 21 1/2 hours to go before it's 2011 in God's chosen time zone.

Happy New Years!

Happy New Year!

My new year's resolution is to not make a new year's resolution I won't keep.

So far, so good.

[QUOTE="wiifan001"]My years resolution: In the past I've dreaded the whole year, now I'm just going to dread one day at a time.snowman6251

It was a joke and a reference :P

...I probably should have made that more clear

Who and where did I get that from?

This seems like an appropriate picture to use:

My god, the channel that shows the countdown for the fireworks that are for the new year where I live was painfully bad. It was the countdown for washington. The channel consisted of the fireworks, then some fireworks in other countries. That was things I were expecting. But then the two hosts had a special guest where that person was talking about how she does charity work and how that person were hleping people, and that dragged on nearly as long as the fire works lasted. Charity is nice and all but what does that have to do with new years? Oh, and then the weatherman came up and gave us the weather. Again, what does that have to do with anything? And then they showed us then traffic jam when everyone was leaving once they saw the fireworks... Oh, and then there was a lady who came to say that the one person who was doing the charitty deserved some kind of award, that lasted like 5 minutes. And then it ended where one of the hosts had to say good bye to his "friends", aka the people in the crowd who were watching the fireworks, and he gave high fives to the people in front of the crowd, and he didn't give one high five to any of the kids lol. My sister was there in person, I feel so bad for her lol.

I was playing Goldeneye down to just to minutes left to midnight, watched the ball drop, yelled out HAPPY NEW YEAR, then immediately went back on Goldeneye

I NEED! to see this movie I saw a trailer for this movie a while ago, forgot about it, was reminded about it, and MUST see it. Damn it looks so good.snowman6251

The New year started off pretty well, hanging out with Family. It was enjoyable, and I hope everyone here in Wii OT have a happy new year. =)

Does this mean you didn't like 300? 300 was so freaking awesome. Like 300, I doubt the main draw of Suckerpunch is the writing. Its probably the hot girls fighting chain gun samurais, dragons, and more Helghast than Nazi Nazis.

snowman6251

He's good at visually creative movies - but script wise, he should probably get someone else to write them. 300 looked nice and I liked it when I saw it but I haven't seen it again since I saw it in theaters.

Great showing in the bowl games today Big10... Way to go!!(Enter Sarcasm)

Gonna have me a BioWare RPG night tonight. I'm going to play KOTOR on my laptop while I watch the Fiesta bowl. And when it gets really out of hand I'll switch over and play Dragon Age on the PS3 until my eyes bleed. Not much going on tomorrow so I don't need to sleep!!

Sounds like a quality gaming night. I've been playing God of War all day so I'm putting the system away for now and probably just going to go to bed early

I'll agree that the script was kind of cheesy but in the best way possible. "THIS IS SPARTA" will forever be a classic line up there with "Are you talking to me" and "What we've got here is failure to communicate". Also as far as directors are concerned I think he's a grand master of visuals. The dude limits his movies to like three colors but he uses them so damn well that everything turns into a visual spectacle the likes of which I've never seen before.snowman6251

Yeah, he's good at visuals and cinematography. Though for his scripts he should probably get someone else to do them. James Cameron has this problem too, he has the plot made up which is fine but he can't write anything really good.

Case in point - Avatar.

After the hype died down, I realized the story was mediocre and I really only liked it for its visual presence. Which is fine, but I'm hoping for a better script for the next ones.

It's always such a bummer when the holiday season comes to an end. It's my favorite time of year and its ending means time to get back to "reality". Back to busy work and it's basically the longest possible stretch between now and the next vacation... :(

The ending of the Winter holidays means for me going back to school from January to April with only a few breaks in between (Reading Week, Easter, etc). Though, I'm hoping I'll find work during the summer to keep me busy and to get some cash to pay off tuition next year and to buy nice things for myself lol.Haziqonfire
