Hola, GS Homeslices,

I hope everyone's enjoying their 4th of July weekend. I am. I don't buy into the usual political mumbo-jumbo. But if the rest of society can sit on its ass for a day, then so shall I.

I enjoyed my 4th of July by going to see a movie: World War Z. It was decent. Worth a sit-thru, but nothing I'd buy on DVD. It was a zombie apocolypse/infection disaster type of flick tailored for mainstream audiences. It could've turned out worse.

I also managed to snag Final Fantasy VII for PC, via Steam, for $12. Pretty much the same amazing game I enjoyed on the PS1 back in 1998.

Pros: Controller support, no load times (Steam version), Steam achievements, modest hardware requirements (2GHz single core CPU, 1GB RAM, DX9 GPU), patched to run on current Windows OSes, cloud saves.

Cons: Must set up an account with Square-Enix (it's free), music is done in ogg audio (lower sound quality), cloud saves are through Square-Enix service (but work just fine).

Now, for some entertainment: Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy" from their album A Place in the Sun. Pretty fun song. And, even if you don't like the song, the video is fun as Hell to watch. It's like one big party.

Take Care & Y'all Enjoy Your Downtime
