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.

Saw Inception this weekend. People went on and on about how the movie was suppose to be confusing. With the exception of the ending being vauge and open to debate, everything else was straight forward. In fact it seemed to bend over backwards explaining everything to death. The only thing i didn't like about the movie was the strong "What Dreams May Come" overtones.
