As I sit listening to Physco Killer by the Talking Heads I just realized that games like Rock Band & Guitar Hero have blessed me with some great music. As an african american male, it's not exactly cool to listen to rock music, but I never cared. My father who is from Nigeria exposed me to all forms of music, my favorite has always been and always will be 80's music. When I drive around now 80's on 8 is always on my Sirius dial. As I got older, I grew more into Hip-Hop/R&B, but i got GH3 about a year ago, and a lot of songs brought back old memories and a lot of songs had me running to iTunes to download. It was great. I hear about Snoop getting songs in Rock Band and while I think it's a great thing a lot of GSers think its bad because it's rap. I just wish everyone was as open minded as I was.

So I managed to get my hands on a LEGAL RETAIL COPY FC2 (I Do not endorse Piracy) a week early and so far it's not too bad. Considering that this game was nowhere near my radar, I've come off pleasantly surprised. The first thing I noticed was the crazy drawn distance, so can see pretty f*****g far, but other than that, I'm not visually impressed, may the PS3 version looks cleaner. I just don't see a huge leap from the first game visually. After what seemed like a 20 minute intro you finally get to some action. The game seems to be pretty open, but I only did two "missions". It's still early on so it's too soon for me to tell if I'm gonna like it more than the first one, but we'll see. I'm still on the fence about multiple characters and I'm waiting until it's actually released so I can play the MP. I've posted some very early pics below.

Let me start off by saying one word...........EPIC. Yes it was THAT good. Those who are wondering if Ledger actually delivered can rest soundly because he did, and it was in a major way! The Joker was incredible! This movie was perfectly casted from top to bottom. Aaron Eckhart was great, Morgan Freeman was Great, Everyone was great! I haven't walked away from a movie and been that satisfied, that speechless, in a long time. I think that this was easily the best comic book adaptation ever, and by a lot. So dark, so gritty, so perfect. 5/5 Go see it now.

After a 3 year hiatus, I finally had a chance to return home to my place of birth, Los Angeles, CA, and boy did I have a damn good time. I hadn't been there in almost three years when I got engaged to my wife. As usual, I had to take in a game. My wife snapped that shot as we were going in to Staples to see the Lakers vs The Bobcats (which we lost :smh. The very next morning we headed to Vegas where I actually won some money and my wife and I copped, this ill timeshare:


That's actually a model room, the finished joints will be bigger. Planet Hollywood is building a resort in the middle of the strip. I had to get a piece of that, plus it's a sound investment. After that we headed back to LA for time with family that I hadn't seen in a few years, it was a good time. I really love that town. Now if I could only convince my wife to move..............

VERSUS



Let me start off right here:

http://www.nfl.com/stats/headtohead?player1=MOS699912&player2=BUR595691&player3=null&player4=null&position=widereceiver&playerOne=Randy+Moss&playerTwo=Plaxico+Burress&playerThree=Select+a+Player...&playerFour=Select+a+Player...

Very comparable stats, so why is no one talking about Burress? If they are please point me in that direction. I live in Pittsburgh and have been following Plaxico Burress since he came in the league and it gave me yet another reason to hate the Steel after they let him roll after a pretty good year in favor of Whines Hard (how's that working out?) This cat is the truth. He's on a team that's nowhere near as good as the Patriots and a quarterback that's light years behind "The Golden Boy". Everyone is comparing T.O. and Moss, but Burress is the real competition. Burress isn't even practicing and he's doing this and he didn't play in the preseason the same way Moss didn't. I'm really not trying to push Plax, as I am trying to say that it's week seven, why the hell is everyone acting like Moss is that dude when a cat on an inferior team, with a slightly above average at best QB is putting up almost the exact same numbers? I'm not trying to hate on Moss, I was a fan of his before T.O. or Plax, it's just the sweating of him seems a bit premature at this point.
