Hey people. Hope you're all doing good.
I know I said I'd do a video blog. That's still coming. Just need time to actually record it. I'm actually planning a little surprise for the opening... stay tuned.
Video games. I play those. Played a ton of Assassin's Creed II and, although the game is fantastic, I'm kinda burnt out on it. I haven't finished it yet but I'm taking a break from it for a while. I also played a bit of Left 4 Dead 2, which is a whole lot better than the first game. In fact, this is how the first game should have been. I'm up for some co-op if anyone's interested.
However, those aren't the games I've been playing lately. Monday night, I stopped by Future Shop to replace my Star Trek BluRay (it didn't contain the movie and had 2 special features disks) and, while there, I decided to grab 2 games: Band Hero and Lips #1 Hits. Those two purchases came out of nowhere. Lips #1 Hits is somewhat of an add-on for the original game, but it can also be played as a stand-alone game. I really enjoy the new visual style and the song list is absolutely amazing. I also downloaded some Christmas songs for the game, including one of my all-time favorites, Blue Christmas by Elvis. As for Band Hero, I really like the visual style and the gameplay, but the song list is a bit lacking. I'm not familiar with 50% of the tracks on there and couldn't give a crap about Taylor Swift (who has 3 songs in the game), but there still are some pretty good songs on there, including Kung Fu Fighting, Mr. Roboto and others. Although Lips is the better title here, both games are quite fun.
Only other game I might be getting before 2009 comes to a close is The Saboteur. Aside from that, nothing really tickles my fancy.
Well, I'll wrap this up here. Video blog coming soon (hopefully)!
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving here on Curacao (i.e. no national holiday) but we do know how to make a great traditional Thanksgiving dinner
.
Be thankful for everything you have and treat each new day as a gift.
Be thankful for all the good things that has happened to you and learn from the rest because tough times never last, tough people do.
I would like to thank to everyone I met here on Gamespot 
.
Happy Thanksgiving.

I know... Not even news at this point. But I was looking through my friends blogs... and my friends of friends blogs, and I noticed how AWESOME it is. Not Jeff's firing, but the consequence of C|NET's actions. Almost literally, every gamespot member is talking about it. Every gamespot member is outraged at the lack of journalistic integrity displayed here (ever heard of a conflict of interests you blinkered morons?). I've read on several blogs about people dropping their subscriptions to GS, and F'N EH! Good for you. I had already cancelled mine, cause GS already sucked. Glitchspot now becomes corporate B!tc#spot. Keep moving down... there's only $#!Tspot left to cover.
What I'm really trying to say is, if you HAVE NOT posted your outrage blog... DO SO! Get it out. These boneheads need to hear it. These corrupt suits and wimps need to see that they are here FOR us and BECAUSE of us, and we want Jeff. And without us they are nothing. So light up the servers. And mark them all as editorials. Let the mother f*ck*r burn.
Wherever Jeff is, I hope he's plotting out his triumph over this dark stain. I will miss him.
And I'd also like to point out that the cowards at IO / EIDOS should NOT come out of this unscathed. In fact I'd go so far as to say drop all objectivity for the moment and vote K&L down to 1 from it's whopping 2.6 and of course do not purchase into this tripe.
