Weekend Discussion

by Chris Faylor, Apr 18, 2009 6:43am PDT

I've only got two episodes left before I finish The Wire. I don't want it to end. It's to the point where I find myself intentionally delaying my viewings, much as I'll hold off on beating a game I really love, such as Ico, just to make it last as long as possible.

By the way, I'm sad to report that Ohio State managed to top my brother's team in the first round of online voting for the National College Comedy Competition. But there's good news, as Reid's short film is still in the running. If you like it, maybe vote?

Either way, you folks have yourselves a nice weekend. You've earned it, you know.

      I totally understand why they tend to dumb them up to appeal to a broader market, I just wish they went the DMC route with the difficulty instead of just making us die in 1 hit and the enemies take 5 headshots instead of 1.
