RRoD

Well, my 3 year old 360 finally bit the dust this week. I think Fable 2 has something to do with it.

I guess my PS3 will be getting some attention now.

Open Wheel Racing

To celebrate the first race of the new and improved IRL season, here's some pictures of my idol. I would give my right arm to look like her.

The useful benefits of Guitar Hero

I know there's not too many of these.

But! Rocking out on this game has made me want to pick up my guitar again. Of course, being the weirdo I am, it's a classical guitar, not a electric. I doubt my gaming ability (or lack thereof) will do me any good when re-learning, but I can only hope.

Anyone out there GH players and real guitar players? Even better, any classical guitarists out there? I'd love to have a few tips. So far, I've got the guitar restrung and I'm working on learning how to tune it.

Jericho

Not the game, the TV show.

Tonight is the last episode of Jericho on CBS. Fans of the show have been through this once before, but I have a sick feeling this is really the end.

I'm surprised that this show didn't do better. It's a great thought experiment. If the US is attacked on a huge scale, what would you do? The Fallout series is devoted to this type of scenario and I can't wait to check out Fallout 3.

Maybe a cable channel will pick Jericho up. They would have a built in audience who's passionate about the show and have shown the lengths they will go for it.

I think I'm just sad it's going away.

Hello there, Gamers!

I can't wait to get this blog up and running, so I can abandon it like all my other ones. Maybe that won't happen. I do love video games. I have a lot of spare time. I love to write.

I just finished Mass Effect for the second time. I love this game so much. The dialog is great. The action is fun (unlike most turn-based games). This game was so well written, it felt like a film.

Maybe I'm a sucker, but I really felt the story. It was well crafted. My current plays through have all been with a female Shepard. I tried to play as a guy, and I couldn't get into it. The Shepard/Kaiden relationship didn't seem forced and I get the feeling it would be if it was Shepard/Ashley. I may be wrong. The conversations you can have with Ashley are pretty interesting.

That's all I've got for now.
