CBS Video Player on TV.com?

I came to this first-time encounter on TV.com the other day. I was visiting the Gossip Girl page and there a CBS Video player in the right pane (see screenshot). I of course clicked play to see what it is and a female voice informed the the "content is not available." I know it's silly but just thought I'd share... Did anyone see this before. By the way, when I refreshed the page the thing was gone. Click to see a full screenshot.

NEW Jocker Pictures!

That's right, you are looking at an all new picture of the Jocker (played by Heath Ledger) in the upcoming Batman movie, The Dark Knight which hits theaters July 18th 2008! See some more photos of the Jocker and of Batman himself over at AICN.com.

Best NBC Monday EVER!

UPDATE: Now that CNET's video uploads problem has been finally fixed, here is a very short video! [video=ISY7wjSr5bwNvzTZ] Man, was this just THE BEST Monday night on NBC? I watch both Chuck and Heroes and both shows had great episodes to serve, THE BEST of their respective seasons in my opinion. I really enjoyed the last moment twist in Chuck when [SPOILERS!] the chamber was opened to reveal a not-so-dead Bryce to a shocked Sara and Casey. Just when poor Chuck was leaving her a message to get things back on between them, after that steamy kiss they had (possibly the first real moment between the two of them). And then came an all new Heroes. I LOVED Claire's storyline tonight and West's character was at it's best! Really glad they made West play a more important role in Claire's life than just the boyfriend who can fly. Elle was great tonight as well, seeing her electrocute herself brought a weird pleasure to me. And Isaac's painting once again came true, Mr. Bennett was shot by Mohinder, however I was glad they didn't kill him off. Nice touch bringing him back to life using his daughter's regenerative blood! I really hope every Monday is as great as this Monday, but with the writer's strike still on I don't think there is a good chance. By the way only two episodes of Heroes are left before they run out of material so if the writer's and studios don't sort things out between them during their post Thanksgiving meeting, the December 3rd episode will serve as the season finale for the show... I really hope it does not come to that! Later...

Teleporting Sim!

[video=KiBnxWGv5bwMvjbe]

I have to say, I am really getting used to the new "teleport" ability that your sim can now learn in The Sims 2 Bon Voyage. It's really cool and very useful especially when running a busy business on a large lot.

Anyway if you got Bon Voyage installed and want your sim to acquire the ability to teleport, send your sim on a vacation to the Far East. On one of the community lots there (or even your sim's hotel) a ninja simmay randomly appear for a short time. Click on the ninja and select the learn to teleport option. The ninja will not ask you a question with two available answers, you'll have to select the right one and he will teach your sim how to use the teleportation ability.

If you don't click the right answer the ninja will disappear and you'll have to catch him on another lot. Anyway, I clicked the wrong answer the first time my sim met the ninja. I think the question was something like"What's more important wisdom or courage?"The right answer was apparently "wisdom" but I selected the other one. The second time around the question was"Who should you know better, yourself or your enemy?" I selected "yourself" and sure enough the wise ninja told my sim to teleport.

For simmers who don't know, teleportation is not entirely new to The Sims 2. Actually it came with the very base game, although in amuch less useful version. If your sims has 3 logic skill points or more, they will get the option to "Meditate" when you click on them. After meditation for quite a long period of time you will be able to click on any spot in the lot and have your sim telport there (while still meditating though). However, the new teleport ability is a much more useful one! I am really enjoying it!

Starting from scratch...

Hello everyone! WOW, I haven't updated this blog in ages and I just stumbled upon it again and thought I'd give it a complete clean-up and start all over again. This past year has been crazy! I started college and I couldn't think of a tougher time in my whole life. Anyway, it's a little less hectic now (for a couple months at least) and so I have a little free time to update this thing when I feel like it. I have been visiting GameSpot and TV.com as usual, I simply did not join their respective communities as I used to do.

So, surprisingly I am currently playing a little Sims 2. I though I'd never get back to this game (after dumping it for a few months), I even uninstalled it from my PC to free up the 10+ gigs it was inhabiting in my hard drive. However, I happened to find my old game discs and decided to install it and torture some sims for fun... Especially with the new expansion pack (Bon Voyage) now out.

Well, other then that, and watching my favorite TV shows, which by the way Prison Break is not one of anymore, I am up to a little...

Later... :D

P.S: Prison Break isn't on my watch list anymore because season 3 has been almost entirely un-interesting and killing Sarah off was the point in which I decided to ditch the show. PLUS! I am now hooked on NBC's CHUCK (airs Monday) which seems like a great show!
