Morning Discussion

2010 is over. Time to start clearing space on our shelves for the swarm of new titles hitting in 2011. In the first three months alone we're going to be bombarded with quality titles. Then a steady stream of other anticipated games are going to trickle out. In November we have Uncharted 3 landing and my personal "OMGOMGOMG" game of 2011, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, arrives. Then Gears of War 3 and, well, all those games that have yet to be revealed.

This generation makes me happy to be a gamer. You know who else is happy? Credit card companies and loan sharks; the only two options I use when making mass video game purchases. What I'm saying is, I make bad decisions.

So I watched the movie 2012 last night. It was dumber than a box of rocks, how on earth it made 800+ in the box office is beyond me.

Oh yeah, and this is what NASA thinks: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3327114/Nasa-names-most-absurd-sci-fi-film.html

      Good grief, Disney/Pixar had a realistic end of the world with Wall-E, so why does a kids movie have something more believable than the dude that did Armageddon?
