hmmm

Heyyyy. Just finished up the work week, another hellacious week that ended up getting the best of me towards the end. I don't know sometimes my mind thinks I have so much to do than I really have to and I just get lost. That's how work was today it seemed like. Done a lot of errands this week, got my topper back on my truck to prepare for winter again, actually got around to cooking again, this time some good 'ol spaghetti.

RAW was a pretty decent this week. As Mr. Keith has mentioned, the new huge-mega Luger/Austin-esque push he is getting is ridiculous and it just doesn't seem right for him at this time. They could have slowly transcended into making him a big player like they did with Bret Hart in his first WWF title run, but oh well....hopefully he'll fade within the coming years, but then again the bookers go nuts for these 3rd generation superstars.

I've been playing a bit of NASCAR 2005 and ESPN NBA 2K5 lately. Mostly the 24/7 mode in NBA as it is much improved over last year, I still prefer the gameplay in 2K3 more over 2K5, but there are still a couple things I like better in it control-wise like the free throw system, IsoMotion, and being able to curve your shots in mid-air at the last moment. They toned down the insane amount of blocks from last years game, but my main gripe is you still can't manually control defensive strafing like you could in 2K3 or last year's Sega College Hoops. The CPU seems to do it at most of the right moments automatically, but there are times when I get fricking pissed when it doesn't happen when I want to and vice versa. NASCAR 2005 I'm finally starting to adapt to after being use to Dirt to Daytona for so long. Cornering requires a lot more precision on your timing for the turns than in DtD, and that Fight to the Top mode kicks all types of butt! I got Fable in the mail on Tuesday, have yet to try it out yet tho, but I think I'll be able to squeeze in a day sometime this weekend.

That's all for now....latez!
