Morning Discussion

With Enslaved and Castlevania now available, I have no idea which title to try first. What does the Shack community think? Slaying the minions of Dracula or punching robots as a character named "Monkey"? It's a toss up.

Although some of my more anticipated games of the year have been pushed to 2011, I'm glad fewer games are hitting this holiday. There was so much coming out by Christmas that I wasn't going to get any work done.

Next spring, however, is going to be a rough one for my productivity. Can't complain, I suppose. Too many potentially great games to play is a good problem to have.

    SG:U was pretty awesome last night. Some interesting new directions they can take with it.

      I just finished watching it. It was good. Though you could see it coming from last season's finale that some of the Lucien (sp) alliance crew members would end up mingling with the crew of Destiny - very ST:Voyager.

      Major cocktease about next week's episode too.

        About the only way to get new cast? Other than the stones. It will be interesting to see how fast Rush gets the bridge working. And when he reveals it.

        Next week preview shows that the whole direction could be forced to change. I kinda hope no future stargates - or - they have a second ship

        You already know which soldier is the ladies man. Que 3 women fighting over the same man. Maybe if Eli actually lost some weight due to the reduced rations he'd have a chance.

          Or got a real shirt.

          I know we've seen these guys washing their clothes, but damn, they desperately need some new duds. Especially Eli.

          Because being the voice of reason and rationality, bright, honorable (much moreso than most of the rest of the cast), and an all-around good guy isn't enough to justify having someone to love. No, this is Hollywood and you must be pretty to engage in any sort of romance.

          Let the damn nerd get the damn girl once in a while, I say. Of course, my opinion means nothing, and is probably skewed since I'm an overweight nerd myself. ;P

        Anyone think Eli between season 1 and 2, he started going to the gym? He hasn't dropped a shitload of weight, but it does look more now like he's got some muscle and is not just a solid mass of jell-o

      i don't like how the show hints at interesting sci fi, and then we're stuck watching someone whine about not being home on videotape.
