Yeah, so it's in the Animul after about thirty minutes of hard(rosin)core soldering (HAH, that's funny, all you soldering junkies should be laughing) the device was in the beast. 8 minutes later, I had my very first MP3 compact disc ready to go. What music you ask? Well of course it was the ass-kicking GTA Vice City Sound Track. Ripped at an astounding acoustical rate of 192kb/s. Pure joy people. I don't think I'll ever listen to the FM modulated radio again.

So it's like this. You're talking to someone, you of course want to look casual so you decide to lean on the counter a bit to get that "cool" look. Well of course that counter turns out to be a stove. A stove currently in ON mode. So it's hot. Very hot. "OH SHIT!, that's hot" Of course you pull your hand away with the swiftness because of the intense pain. There is where it gets confusing. That pain has done it's job. You have been alerted of the discomfort and you have reacted accordingly by removing your hand. The pain should now be shown the exit, but no, it decides to linger on for hours..days even. This is stupid, and needs to be changed. Someone research this and get back to me with a solution ASAP.

Also, anyone who's ever had a physics class knows the pain of setting through it day after day. Well today was no different from any other. However, today, another student in the class that I know decided he'd draw a picture of me. Why? Because its a long damn class, thats why. Anyway. Be advised, this drawing started as me.. didn't really finish up that way.

I've apparently also modeled worldwide.

So, Laaaaaadies? Hi.

Star Wars Galaxies - This game is several years in the making, and the waiting should pay off. In case you haven't heard, this game is strictly online. For the best effect, think Everquest, only within the Star Wars universe. As always, it's the size that counts, and for this game there are going to be at least 9 planets to explore... each the size of the entire Everquest world.

Enter the Matrix - The offical video game spawned from the hugely popular movie, this one is set to blow the doors off the repective video game world. This game will be coming out for both PC and to the consoles, however, the consoles(Xbox, Gamecube, PS2) will be marketed as a "2-disc" game, but the PC version will be weighing in at 6-discs. You can expect to pay "a little more" for the PC version. ( A side note: This game is being made by Shiny Entertainment, in case you forgot, they are ones who brought you Earthworm Jim back in the day.)

Soul Calibur II - The first Soul Calibur is one of the most amazing games I have ever played. That game came out for the Dreamcast a few years ago and still shows up nearly every game on any system in the graphics department. I, personally, can't wait for it's sequel. If you're a fan of fighting games, you cannot afford to miss this one.

Doom 3 - Another title that is years in the making, Doom 3 is set to takeover how the videogame world views a First Person Shooter. Back in the early 90's it was Doom that opened the door for the market of all these FPS games you see today. Doom also brought another aspect that has become standard, Internet Play. Before Doom, there was no multi-player over the internet or otherwise. I can remember playing a neighbor in Doom using our 14.4k modems to call each other and playing deathmatches for hours. Wired has a great article on this game, but its currently only in print from, I'll post a link when it goes online, quote from article: "Doom III has slightly lower expectations around it than the second coming of Jesus".

As you can tell, 2003 is going to be a great year for videogames... and i didn't even mention the Warcraft III expansion, Resident Evil 4, Halo 2, Advance Wars 2, the new Mario Cart, or Gran Turismo 4. Start saving lots of money now.

Featured here are pictures of our TV room. As you will see, we are media animals. We have a wide veriety electronic entertainment devcies, including (but not limited to): Gamecube, Dreamcast, SNES, NES, PS2 (in repair, not pictured). Also we have an extensive collection of DVD's. And not just run-of-the-mill normal "guy flicks" that you would expect us to have (read: Fast and the Furious, Showgirls), but several of the Criterion edition DVD's. Thats right, we're high class. Enjoy the pictures.

Best quote from article: "The reaction has been pretty good," Walsh said. "There's a clear 50/50 split. Half the girls know immediately what it's about. The other half look at the kitty and say, 'Aw, that's cute, but why is it vibrating?' Then the penny drops."

This should work much better than a dreamcast controler.

This is not a test, there is an imposter among us.

Derek, reclaim your name.

(UPI) Baghdad: Battle that never happened
Washington Post: Iraqis celebrate as U.S. takes Baghdad
(This Is London) Looters, Gunmen, Flowers and Kisses
CNN: Symbols toppled as regime crumbling

My personal opinions on the things happening in the Iraqi capital right now are that these citizens, like birds and animals leaving their hideaways after a storm, singing and rejoicing because -- once too scared to voice out against their dictator -- are coming out of hiding for freedom.
