Time for a quick blog update. I had intended to do a quick post a week or so ago and never got around to it. My brother finally got World of Warcraft a couple weeks ago and we've been playing at night. My wife and I had played for a while months ago but had stopped after getting burnt out on the drama of being involved with a guild(hanging out and having inane conversations with people you don't know and drinking fake booze in a fake tavern is not an acceptable way to spend a Saturday night).

Anyway, the issue was that I had lost my check card a few weeks ago and that was what I had our Warcraft accounts billed to, so our accounts were both suspended. I ended up putting my account on a credit card and the wife's on a game card that we bought at Best Buy, which is were the point of this blog post comes in.

Why on Earth is Blizzard selling something the size of a credit card in a full-sized game box?

I am so stoked for Double Dragon on XBLA. I straight-up can't wait to give Microsoft 400 of their points back to relive my youth and have my over-hyped nostalgic view of the original ruined.

Hang on a minute...

Completely unrelated, now that the reader's choice results are out("where's my badge?!!!" - probably 90% of dudes on the forums right now) why the hell can't I see what I chose? I can't remember since it was like a month ago that I originally voted, and I desperately need to have my opinions validated by the masses.

Okay, I will freely admit to having a bit of a negative view of Sony after the bad press and terrible PR of the last 12 months, but I think even the most diehard Sony fanboy is going to have a hard time defending "Game 3.0".

Imagine that you have just spent a long, hard day defending the manufacturer of your favorite console on various forums, just to surf over to your gaming blog or news site of choice and come face to face with the promise of Sony's vision of "the 3rd age of video games," which I assume to be determined by the life cycles of each of their own systems. Joystiq nailed it: "... remember: generations don't start until Sony says so."

Makes sense, we all know there were no games before the PS1. Duh.

Dude, this is so gay I just spent 20 minutes typing up this awesome post about achievement points and games and Cabela's games, and when I hit the submit button it decides that I'm not logged in and deletes everything I just typed. Grrrrr. Me = not happy.

test time, foo. I tried starting a blog here a few months ago but could never get the damn thing to upload. So I'm giving 'er one last go here.

Just finished watching Heat for the first time, something I've been putting of since it came out I guess. Probably the best damn movie I've seen in a while. It just edged out "Thank You for Smoking", which I watched last night, and was easily better than "House of the Dead", which just means that it wasn't made by special-needs monkeys. Or Uwe Boll.
