This looks AMAZING. Like, it could steal my time away from GTAIV. It’s just a mod but if you know me then you know how crazy I am about BTTF. It’d definitely be worth the purchase of Vice City.
Congrats to theron for taking home the Pot-Limit Omaha Banana, besting 71 other entrants. I managed fourth place today, strengthening my position at the top of the Player of the Year board. And as a bonus I knocked out Chris (one of the show’s hosts) in 65th place, earning the “just for recognition” bounty (they used to award you a few Player of the year points for knocking out the hosts).
My strategy was taken straght from one of the podcasts about this game, that each of your four cards represents the leg of a stool, and unless each one is working with the others, you’re going to have a very difficult time staying on top. Unless it was 3 monster cards and I was in a blind, I folded anything that didn’t have 4 cards woring together. Worked out pretty darn good! I ended up going out with something like A-K-J-10 with a suited Ace, so I can’t say that I am unhappy with my play.
Next month: No Limit Hold’em with rebuys. I got 21st place (in the money) at the last No Limit tourny, but I am not experienced with rebuys, so it’ll be an adventure of the grandest scale.
Well it’s only 17:00 but today wasn’t bad by any measure. It wasn’t spectaular or anything, but I think the dread I felt when I saw my bulk folder was unnecessary. I watched 5 episodes of “Two Fat Ladies” today (and another 7 in the last two days, on top of 6 I watched last week), and it’s actually a pretty decent show, so, bulk folder be damned, today was not horrible. Yet.
When you just need to see some bad Bacon, Amazon has the list ready for you.
Sorry kids, I have just been busy. Well, I guess not “busy” so much as “lazy”. Anyway, I will write all sorts of bullshit on Friday or this weekend to make up for it. In the meantime, here are some quick reviews for movies I’ve seen in the last few weeks:
The Mist: If you aren’t already spoiled then it’s worth a watch. I was thinking “Half-Life ripoff” but then realized that it’s based on a book written before Half-Life was made and then confirmed on Wiki that the novella The Mist was actually part of the inspiration for Half-Life, so rock on. Check it out if you’re bored.
Awake: Bleh. In a film where the main character has a lot of voice over, it seems they sought out the most uninteresting person ever to read it (Anakin Skywalker). The beginning sucks, I should’ve turned it off. In the middle it picks up a bit and I started thinking it could turn into a good movie, but then the end happened, which brought the suckitude full circle. Don’t bother.
The Ruins: Another one where it’s best to go in completely unspoiled. I knew NOTHING about this movie going into it other than the most basic set-up (American kids go to see Mayan ruins) and I thoroughly enjoyed it, and I will not spoil anything for you. See it in theaters.
21: Eh. It’s pretty slick and has a lot of cool moments, but everything good has an equally bad part. Cool story, terrible script; snazzy editing, horrible sound design; Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth. I’d call this one a rental.
I’m off to Indiana until Thursday night to see the Sony disc manufacturing facility. Should be fun?
This is NOT an April Fool’s joke. Youtube video confirms this. Though it won’t be out for the PS3 until April 17th due to the revamp of the Playstation Store.
If you haven’t played Portal yet, shame on you.
