Morning Discussion

Vacation's over. I really enjoyed my time away from work, exploring some of the great spots buried within Chicago. It was a hectic time in the city due to the face-off between the Bears and the Pack. It didn't turn out well for Bears fans.

What did turn out well was Never Not Funny, live at the Congress Theater. The show was hilarious as usual, Daver sang the theme and the crew sang along at the end. As an added bonus, I had the pleasure of meeting the crew. What a classy group of gentlemen.

Well, it's back to work for me. Next time I'll be sure to remember to take more than two days off. Maybe.

Crysis 2 MP initial impression.

"MW2 clone with the added ability to jump high and cloak" is the best way to describe it. Anyone else feel differently? After three years of the same multiplayer experience almost verbatim from most games, I think it's time to move on. Game design needs to start evolving a bit faster.

Or de-evolve back to classic UT style multiplayer. I'd take that too.

  How are the graphics on Xbox? Is it as good as 3-1/2 year old Crysis?

  - Better than most 360 games, but 720 resolution and zero AA make my eyes sting, personally. : freakynipples69
