Hey! Do me a favor, will ya? Go read Tom's glorious blog, at 630wpro.com , and laugh at his insightful, if a bit looney, rantings, and lavish both affection and revilment upon the great Tom Izzo!!
She can whisper at me ANY TIME! Miss Jennifer Love Hewitt!
The Goddess Herself...Kiera Knightly!!!
And who could forget Miss Longoria???????
Now, check out some shots of me and people that I HAVE met!
This is myself (kneeling, face showing), my mom, my brother, and two folks who will remain annonymous, for purposes of allowing them to maintain their dignity, with David Hasslehoff, back when Knight Rider was on television. Schweet, huh?
Me and Kevin "Hercules" Sorbo!
Me and Peter "Chewbacca" Mayhew!A
Me and Anthony "C-3PO" Daniels!
Oh, yeah! I was meetin' the stars WAAAYYY back, beeotch! That be me and Adam "Batman" West, and me and Burt "Robin, The Boy Wonder" Ward in 1975, or so.
Oh, and, thanks to myspace, I've also "met" some of the famous folks on the friends list, below. Alot of celebrity myspace profiles are managed by the celeb's "people" ,and alot of them are fake, and run by fans.
However, some are really maintained by the celeb. themselves. I try to avoid the former, because they're useless pages, but, below, you'll find the links to the pages of folks like Layla Kayleigh, and Olivia Munn, from G4 tv, who are both very cool, and whom I've "spoken" to via myspace on a few occasions.
William Shatner, Weird Al, and others all maintain their own pages, too, and it is pretty cool to go on them and see what they have to say in their blogs and stuff, and to look at their personal photos. Oh, and, The Dali Lama, under his given name, Tenzin Gyatso, does his own page, too, so, pop in on the big DL, and let him know what's goin' ON!
Anyway, enjoy, and, feel free to tell them we sent ya, if ya make a friend request!

GAMES WE'RE PLAYING:
BARRY:
"Grand Theft Auto IV",Playstation 3

"Mass Effect",XBOX 360
VIDEO GAME REVIEWS:
BARRY:
"Conan", XBOX 360
If you've played "God Of War", then you know a great hack and slasher, which also has a great story, when you play one. "Coanan" is not such a game.
That said, it IS a good game, that, at about the 2/3rds mark, grows on you.
There is a long list of moves that you can learn as you go, in exchange for points that you accumulate as you mame and disfigure your foes; so many that you never actually "learn" them, and they more or less just exist in your repetoire.
These moves cover one handed, and two handed weapons, as well as allow you to swing two weapons simultaneously.
The killing is quite satisfying, if repetitive. The boss battles are pretty boiler plate, and the final one is a BITCH!
The story is pretty boring, but, along the way, you do meet and bed a hot babe with whom you then ally yourself, and you occasionally get to free almost completely naked (yes, their boobs ARE out!)chicks from being handcuffed and chained to various walls.
The graphics are good, and the music is good, too.
One thing that will drive you mad during the game is Ron Perlman's completely hollow and deadpan reading of Conan's lines.
So, play this one when your looking for a game to play while you wait for something much better, like Ninja Gaiden II, or Gears of War II to come out. It gets 3.5 decapitated foot soldiers out of 5.
"Dark Sector",Playstation 3
This game is NOT a great game. That said, let me tell you what works in it.
The graphics a very good. The game play is fun, if repetitive. Mostly, you spend your time running thru virtually empty environments, which your enemies, be they soldiers, or zombie type things of a couple of various types, storm into in short order. You fight them with a different guns, some of which you possess, and some of which you can pick up and use when, say, you're out of ammo. Your own guns can be upgraded via a seemingly traveling and (litterally)underground marketplace.
On a couple of occasions, you get to operate turrets and a mech.s. Then there's the glaive.
Think boomerang meets Chineese throwing star.You can throw it off the cuff, or after targeting your enemy. You can even control it's path via the PS3's sixaxis controller, and a feature called "Aftertouch", which becomes VERY important at certain times in the game, when precision is a must. The glaive can even be charged, for a short time, with one of three different elemental powers, fire, cold, and electricity, all of which will neeed to be used in certain points in order for you to continue playing. Using the glaive is alot of fun.
Unfortunately, the story is very boring, and almost does not even make sence. I still have no idea exactly what was going on in the story, and, worse, I don't even care, because they never made me care about the characters. All of them are as bland as a bologna sandwich without the bologna.
So, play this one if nothing else tickles your fancy, but, othwerwise, play something else.
