Studs from Microsoft

I have no idea where the Studs from Microsoft” video came from or how old it is and I had to download it first before playing it, but it was totally worth it to see Bill Nye as a softie and to watch those women run for their lives instead of facing the possibility of dating any of us. : )

I am a Gauntlet Adventurer

What Video Game Character Are You? I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.I am a Gauntlet Adventurer.

I strive to improve my living conditions by hoarding gold, food, and sometimes keys and potions. I love adventure, fighting, and particularly winning - especially when there’s a prize at stake. I occasionally get lost inside buildings and can’t find the exit. I need food badly. What Video Game Character Are You?

 

BTW, wander around building 10 one time and you’ll know I’m not kidding… : )

I'm sure you've heard the news and read the specs and you might even have seen the celebrity-ridden MTV special. Now, see what it’ll really be about.

Episode III: ROTS doesn’t suck and other opinions

My sons and I (and my 11-year old boy’s date!!!“) all enjoyed Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. I know it didn’t have much in the way of decent dialog or acting, but when compared to the other 5 in the series (especially episodes I and II), it rocked. I’ve only seen it once, but right now it’s tied for first in my mind with A New Hope (I know some snobs like The Empire Strikes Back best, but I still love the feel of the first one).

Also, I liked Unleashed a great deal. Not only did I enjoy the fighting, but I really enjoyed the relationship between Danny and his new family.

On the other hand, in spite of being a huge Frank Miller fan in general and a Sin City comic book fan specifically, I couldn’t stand that silly movie. I wanted to see a movie version, not the comic book version projected onto the screen!

In other news, I’m still waiting for a sequel to The Matrix. I don’t count this fan-boy movie or this one. Anyone got a release date to a follow on worth the time to watch?
