Craig Ferguson is amazing with guests. He was just on with Robert Downey Jr. who didn't know what to think of Craig.
BTW RDJ is going to be playing Sherlock Holmes in an action version of the books by Guy Ritchie.

Once the clock tolls 00:00 on Tuesday Augest 12th you will not be able to restart, wake from hibernation, and use some other features with your VMs. The only way to get around this problem is to set the date back in time and disable NTP, but this probably won't work for business applications that rely on accurate dates (accounting, SQL, and the like.)

Why do they take a brief shower after every dive? I must know.
Also, does all that diving from 10m boards cause much damage to their bodies?

Mother fucker drops fuckin bombs, yo! What a complete 180 from his fight with Mir. He still has a ways to go before he can play with the big boys, but I think this dude brings a lot of excitement and explosiveness to the otherwise "meh" heavyweight division.

I give you Painkiller 2!... Errr, I mean... NECROVSION! Looks to be a game in the same vein as Serious Sam 2 and Painkiller made by a dev in Poland with a large contingent of the original Painkiller crew. It's set during WWI about a conflict between Demons and Vampires behind the scenes of the human war. Apparently you play as some sort of immortal undead/demonic badass or something. Looks sweet. Should be out early next year. Definitely one of my most anticipated games now that there's some gameplay footage out recently right alongside L4D and FO3.

Target has their 1600 MS Points cards on sale this week for $15 (normally $19.99), and I can get 'em for even less ($13.50 plus tax). I don't even own an Xbox 360, but I'm planning on buying one in a couple months once the new models with the Jasper chipset start appearing (cooler/smaller 65nm GPU), especially if that rumor about the price drop in mid-September is true.
I picked up one card today, as well as Bioshock--it's on clearance for $19.99. I have up to 90 days to return one or both items, but I'm kinda' wondering if this is the best deal on the MS Points. If so, I'll buy a few more cards to use with GH/RB songs and other DLC. If not, I'll return this card for a refund.
