We got a couple of really good stuff over the weekend:

• Spiderman 2 -- It's pretty good. I played the Spiderman game on PS One and always commented how I want to just swing around the city. Well I got my wish. It has an open environment like GTA, with a random crime generator. You don't have to do every crime that comes your way, but you do need to do some to earn hero points and get health.
• Shadow of Destiny -- It has a very cool premise: you are killed by an unknown assailant, but you are given a reprieve from death to solve your own murder. The problem lies not with the game, but with my PS2. For some reason and it's not the first time, the game is very jumpy. It's playable, but it hurts the eye after about 15 minutes. This upsetted Ty more than anything (he's more hyped about playing the game). I think I need to take the system somewhere to be looked at.
• Playboy 50 Years: the Cartoons -- Great book for the coffee table, a great book in general. I admit, I do like reading Playboy. What can I say, they have great article and cartoons. Anyhoo, the cartoons featured in the book ranges from cheeky naughty humor to some more morbid humor to some simple gag humor. A lot the humor requires some inkling of attention and knowledge.

On a side note, I just got my pink slip. Whip out the Prozac and unemployment line here I come.
