I've been called out on being absent from Gamespot. I'm still around, and quite frankly I think I like the new look around here. But I'll get to that in a minute...
So, where have I been? Well, last weekend we had to take the kids back to Savannah, GA to meet their other parents. Neko and Spooksspouse, I'm sorry I didn't let you know I would be traveling through your area...none to worry, I'll catch up with you guys before the next trip.
One major thing that has happened is that I did get a call back from the acting audition a few weeks ago. I was informed that I will be in at least 2 of the group's short films and one is a starring role. I've had to put down the games and pick up the weights though. One film is going to have fight scenes so I need to get back in shape and drop a few pounds. Yes, I know...round is a shape, but it's not the one they're looking for. They did another casting call last week for some of the other roles, so hopefully I'll be getting a script soon. I'll keep posting as things progress.
On a gaming note, I've grabbed up a bunch of cool titles for really cheap. I looove clearance racks. Most of the titles I found were for the family though. Like Ratatouille, War Tech, and Stuntman Ignition (all on 360). Geometry Wars Galaxy and Elite Beat Agents (both DS) were more for myself and my girlfriend to play together. Lately I've been looking for those type of games that we can share. I don't have too many co-op titles so I've been looking for more. I really wish Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (DS) had co-op story mode like Lego Indy or Lego Star Wars.
But on a single-player note, I grabbed up Nanostray 2 (DS). So far, all I have played are the challenges...and they are rightly named. This is the old-school gameplay I've been looking for. I'm sure the story mode is awesome too, but damn, this is one tough game. I'm also working on Chili Con Carnage (PSP). One of those "it's so stupid it's fun" titles. Imagine a cross between Dead To Rights, Max Payne, and the Steve Martin/Chevy Chase/Martin Short film Three Amigos. I may take a little time this weekend to play Dark Sector (PS3) or Codemned 2 (360). I've also got a few PS1 & 2 titles I've been itching to play Okami, X-Files: Resist or Serve, and Syphon Filter.
Other than gaming, I'll be starting on season 3 of Doctor Who and Scrubs. I haven't even opened Monk season 1 yet or Bones for that matter. And how could I forget 24? I am so far behind on 24...but I really want to finish the game (PS2) before moving on to season 3. So much to do and only 2 days in the weekend. I better get started! I hope each and every one of you have a great weekend...
Cheers!
Oh, yeah...for all of you DS owners out there; check out Time Hollow. It looks awesome!
