Blade Runner 4-Disc Collector's Edition/Final Cut. Have yet to watch it, but I hear the Digital Remastered version looks extremely fine tuned, obviously.

In addition, I miraculously was able to find Martin Season 2 & 3 when it seemed almost impossible to find in stores unless you went to eBay or Amazon which I usually don't resort to. So once I laid eyes of those DVDs, I grabbed them without hesitation. I'd say Martin is among one of my favorite and funniest sitcoms of all-time. Now I just need to get the rest of the seasons. Yes, I know, I've been on a DVD spending spree. God help me!

Guitar Hero 3? That's right, I finally have my hands on GH3(X360). I really haven't spent any quality time with it since my little brother is borderline obsessed, and won't stop playing. Later on tonight I plan to jump on the career mode, or possibly co-op campaign so If any of you have GH3, and are willing to help me out, I'd appreciate it. Note: As a beginner, I'm not very good at the moment, It'll take me a while to get acquainted with this guitar controller. Practice makes perfect. A few more things, another DVD purchase. Transformers, a movie I previously saw in theaters. Fun, and entertaining to say the least. Yes, I am Optimus Prime! Aside from Robots, I bought a new leather office chair, something that I've needed because my old chair fell apart (Got it from a garage sale a few years back) and I've had to use one of our kitchen chairs for the time being as a temporary replacement.

Skipped my way to the local Target score and bought 3, count 'em 3 DVD's. The first of which I watched was Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End. My expectation of this supposed last sequel was high, and to my minor disappointment, it was lacking in plot. I thought the story was unorganized and confusing for most of this 2 hour 40+ minute movie. Now I have seen all the other pirates prior to seeing PoTC 3, but this one especially felt long winded and I think certain scenes should of been left on the cutting room floor. But in actuality, I did enjoy all the action, adventure and visual elements as I always do, so I wasn't disappointed with everything. Still an entertaining pirate movie nonetheless.

The second DVD I had the pleasure of watching was Bourne Ultimatum. And I can only describe it in one word, Amazing. First of all I must point out the amount of beautiful exotic locations in this film: Paris, London, Spain, Morocco and Berlin, now that's what I call traveling the world...or at least apart of it. Anyways, the thing I love about the Bourne series is how tactical it is, a cat and mouse chase in a sense, outsmarting the opposition which in this case does the best job in doing so. Of course the action almost always follows, and boy how crazy it gets. The whole movie had intense written all over, their wasn't a single moment where I was even remotely tuned out. It grabbed me from the start and never let go, easily the best film in the series for sure.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix was a movie I saw in theaters when it first came out. Decided to buy anyways. I'm a mild fan of the series, and while I haven't read the books, this was my favorite so far. A good mix of fantasy action (today's word of the day "action") and a solid story. That's all I have to say.

Also, I finally bought a new Xbox Live headset. My other one I broke out of mad rage because I could barely hear anybody correctly during matches.

I beat Mass Effect this past weekend as a Paragon (good guy), and I'm currently at level 49. The overall presentation and story were great, and at first I was very hesitant to do any side missions thinking they were going to be tedious, but once I felt my character slowly getting stronger and stronger by doing so, I just couldn't stop, it was like a drug (Not surprising) and with no cold turkey near by. Now I rarely restart games over again, but I was so curious as to see how the story would turn out as a Renagade (bad guy). Plus the fact Bioware allows you to keep leveling up with the same character, so it was such a relief to attempt another playthrough. Same goes for Eternal Sonata, sorta.

Question? Has anyone found themselves paying more attention to the presidential campaign? *Raises hand* I've never been more invested in watching the news, CNN, Fox News, in my life before right now or last year for that matter. Politics is not my strength or something I wouldn't want to be involved in, but with all these candidates especially in the democratic party, it's hard not to focus your eyes on the TV screen. You see, it's all about the issues, the important and obvious issues: Health Care, Education, Global Warming, War in Iraq, Foreign Relations, The Economy, etc.

Surely all these candidates want to be the one in charge and do what is right for this country, but I'm only going to vote for the person who I think would be best for the job as president. From what I've seen and heard so far, Barack Obama has my vote at the moment. Not because we share the same skin color, but because he seems truly sincere about helping, being open-minded and honest to the people, and wants to bring a different kind of politics to the fore front which I believe we may need in order to solve many of the problems we're facing as opposed to what we've had for the last decade. Plus his speeches are awesome. With all that said, I will continue to watch coverage to see what else develops. So tell me, who are you supporting if anyone and why?

As a music lover, I like to pride myself on the diversity of music I enjoy listening to. So with that said, I present to you my Youtube Favorites which are comprised of various music videos that I thought were creative, moving (from a melody or lyrical standpoint) or just cool to watch. Hope you enjoy!

On a side note, I watched Ratatouille for the first time yesterday. An excellent Pixar film.

Just want to wish everyone a safe and Happy Holidays. Oh, and Garfield says Hello.

I beat Eternal Sonata early yesterday afternoon. I must say, this might be one of the best RPGs I've played since Jade Empire, and that's coming from a guy who hasn't played many and isn't a huge fan of the genre. Anyway, the vivid nature of the graphics were excellent, definitely my nomination for best graphics artistically. Though I'm a bit mad at my curiosity and lack of self-control by deciding to take a look at all 22 secret achievements before finishing the game (Big mistake). By doing so, I unintentionally spoil a certain story element, thus giving me a hint at what inevitability happens later on. So with that being said, the ending didn't have a significant impact on me like it probably shouldve, but it was still rapped up pretty well. *Note to self, never try to investigate a secret achievement in a story-based game again*

The days of dreaming about Mass Effect are over...

Oh yeah, I also purchased Saint's Row the from the Platinum hits collection. Hey, it was cheap.

Source: Trademark-trolling site Trademork reported this week that Sega had filed a new application to secure its rights to the Dreamcast name. The site speculated that the game maker might be preparing to reenter the hardware market with a Dreamcast 2. A slew of Web sites jumped on the speculation and passed it along with a token dash of skepticism. Full Story. Courtesy of Gamespot.

Isn't it a bit too late for Sega to start thinking about returning to the console making scene? It's been about 8 years since the Dreamcast, and they're not exactly gaining grown in software sales. This is only a rumor, a rumor that's very hard to believe coming true.

In other recent news, I watched the Mayweather/Hatton fight on Pay-Per View last night. Both were undefeated, and there was a lot of hype leading up to this fight. The building was packed with celebrities like Denzel Washington and David Beckham antcipating an epic showdown. End result, Floyd Mayweather by TKO in the 10th round. Now I know some people (Especially the British) don't like Floyd much, but you can't help to marvel at his superb boxing skill. Hatton looked decent against him, it's unfortunate his fans came all the way from Manchester UK only to be disappointed by the lost. I know one thing though, Hatton fans are loyal, so I have no doubt they'll stick by him no matter what. Keep your head up Hatton, and congrats to Mayweather.

I know all of this Jeff controversy over being fired is getting out of hand, and I do understand GS's review crediblity will be questioned from now on. But I didn't realize it was serious enough where a bunch of people start leaving completely. I love this site, and I'm pretty disappointed with the situation Gamespot's in, but packing up and leaving is something that would be difficult for me. On the other hand, I come here mainly for the community, and if all my friends and the people I closely associate with go then maybe I should follow suit as well. 1up, IGN, GameTrailers are all ideal choices. Though I'm hearing mostly of people heading over to Gametrailers. I do visit there quite often for video reviews and such, I guess it wouldn't hurt to create another account there. Though Gamespot is still my home.
