That's pretty funny, man. Good one.

I've also been playing a lot of Street Fighter 4. I'm not very good at it, so to unlock the bonus characters I have to play through Arcade Mode on the easiest difficulty setting. I can do most of the special moves, super combos, and ultra combos with each character. I'm still trying to figure out how to do cancels.

What's the number of sequential posts required to kill a thread? I have six here.

I just put a 320 gig hard drive into my PS3. I only had about 2 gigs of free space left on the original hard drive. It was totally easy to do. Just get a SATA 2.5" drive (I got a Seagate one for $80 at Best Buy) and swap out the old one. I backed up all my data on an external drive and then restored it to the new drive once it was in place. Everything works great. Add that to the list of reasons that I prefer the PS3 over the Xbox 360.

I finished F.E.A.R. 2 this morning. Yay.

It only takes one post from me to kill a thread, SK. This one should do the trick.

The most violent game I play is Wii boxing. I wish my Mii could kick instead of just throw punches.

The other day, Annie was cheering me on and yelling, "Kick him in the chips, momma!"

Maddie asked, "Where?"

"You know. His chips." (Annie points between her legs.)

"HA! You mean nuts, ya little weirdo!" (Maddie laughs hysterically and so do I, which throws me off my game and I take a mean hit to my left temple.)

I will guard my fish and chips with much expertise the next time I play Wii Sports Boxing. And no, your post did not kill my thread because I am going to continue to tell you about my experiences in Resident Evil 5. I'm on the last level. There are a lot of ridiculous boss battles in this game. Giant arachnid/crustacean half-breed monsters that you have to shoot or throw grenades into their mouths until their armor comes off allowing you to explode their faces after you've successfully shot off all their limbs. Then I'm fighting some dude with sunglasses from the Matrix. He dodges bullets and says stupid things. On one level, alligators tried to eat me, so I shot some chickens and stole their eggs and ate them for extra health. Then I threw some eggs at the zombies. I find all these amazing jewels everywhere that I sell for money so I can upgrade my awesome collection of guns. My shotgun is super powerful. If you mix red herbs with green herbs and spray it on yourself, you get a maximum health replenishment. So I'm on a big ship now. The last level. I'll let you know how it all turns out. For the best, I hope. For the best.

The big ship you're on doesn't say "Titanic" on the side, does it? Better watch out!

That game sounds nuts. Too complex for me.

Also, why would one need to shoot chickens just to get their eggs? Just take the darn things! Now, to get fried chicken is another matter. :)

Have fun!

Sometimes there are eggs on the ground or up on wood beams. But if there aren't any eggs in plain sight, but you see some chickens, don't worry, you just go ahead and shoot those chickens. Eggs gloriously appear in their place. Also, if you shoot snakes that sometimes jump out of crates at you and bite you, they dissolve into eggs too. Serves them right for biting you. I haven't shot any crows yet, but I'm willing to bet you a million dollars that when they die, they turn into eggs. Nourishing eggs. Some brown, some white. Maybe the alligators give you eggs too, but those are fearsome big bastards and they would take lots of firepower to take down. And you have limited ammo.

That game sounds like a gory Easter Egg hunt. ;)

I do hope the crows turn into eggs. Otherwise, you might have to eat them for nutrition, and no one wants to eat crow.

I didn't play any videogames last night, so I have no updates on that front. I did watch Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace in succession. That was rad. Then I took some pills and went to sleep.

My brother in California just traded in his PS3 for a Wii. Blasphemy. I'm hella depressed today. :cry: No more online battles.
