Weekend Discussion

Morning Shackers, how about a fresh post to wind down the weekend? If you need some browsing with your brunch, may I suggest this interview with EA about Spore? And of course we've got the Release List if you're interested in playing games other than Castle Crashers. Not sure why you would want to do that though. Oh hey, and a new Gibson-Goldstein Index, giving you a succinct recap of the week's highlights.

      Hasn't started yet. Not until the end of the month. I'm guessing he's off by a season.

  Not so great. Lost nearly 1TB of data at home, my allergies have been acting up, and I had to go buy a replacement pair of shoes because my heel suddenly collapsed in on itself.

      Yeah. Great shoes, but instead of the heel being a solid piece of rubber, it was hollow with struts supporting it. Evidently those are cheaper to make, but if one of the struts fails...

  Went to a shooting range and tried out the AR-15 (i think is what it was called). Also watched The Dark Knight again, but this time in IMAX, which is a first for me. It was awesome. Also played Castle Crashers and killed some time in TF2. Now, I plan to do laundry and work on some homework.

  awesome, went to the Connecticut river beerfest. it was 25 buck and they gave me a 7 ox glass i could go around to all the tents and get beers! they give you 10 'tokens' to get the beer with, but a lot of the vendors weren't taking them so i got really drunk. My catch 22 hoodie was on fire for some reason with that crowd, like 3 different chicks said something. Must be the beer crowd is the ska crowd round here.

        I was actually just messing with you.. I really enjoyed that SIN game - I rarely finish games (read: never) and it honestly might be the last game I remember finishing. I like shorter games and I enjoyed it a lot.

  Hungover. Going out drinking is getting less and less attractive every time I do it because I feel progressively shittier the next mornings after. I'm down to going out about once every 3-4 months. . .whereas is used to be 3+ times a week.
  
  I've honestly thought about cutting drinking out completely, but I just love beer too god damn much.
