Ok, here's a quick shout out to everybody still at work (including me). I'd just like to give you an update on my day.
[9:00-9:35] -
Finished two weeks worth of daily processing I'd been neglecting. Wrote a blog post.
[9:35-12:45] -
Read video game reviews online (gamespot, ign, amazon). Including but not limited to: (Adina, go ahead and skip the reviews, no gilmore girls video game exists)
Nintendo Wii -
Marvel Ultimate Alliance - Based on Raven Software's successful X-men Legends games, you can play as Spider-Man, the Fantanstic Four, Deadpool, Iceman, Iron Man, etc etc etc to defeat evil Doctor Doom. The reviewers loved it.
Microsoft Xbox -
Ultimate Allicance - ditto.
Batman, Rise of Sin Tzu - Pretty good reviews. You're Batman (from the animated series) and you go around beating up bad guys. Straight-forward, no nonsense fighting. Reviewers liked it.
Batman Vengence - Like most Batman video games, it sucks. Reviewers hated it.
Aquaman, Battle for Atlantis - Or something like that, it looked so bad I didn't bother to remember the title. Aquaman is a lame superhero, and a lamer video game.
Destroy All Humans! - Campy 50's B-movie turned video game. You play as the little grey alien and blast the "monkeys" to smithereens. Looks hilarious.
Gun - Cowboy shoot 'em up trying to capitalize on Deadwood success. Reviewers called it "spotty" and "sparse at times." Not great. Unless you're a gun nut.
Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher's Bay - A prequel to the motion picture, you play as Riddick escaping the galaxy's most secure prison. This one was the most highly rated game I read about all day.
Justice League Heroes - DC's answer to Marvel's Ultimate Alliance. Reviews were positive but not glowing, coming in just behind UA.
Star Wars: Republic Commanod - Play as an elite clone soldier, command the other three clones in your squad along a linear military conquest. Good reviews, plus, it's Star Wars.
Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith - Based on the movie. Awful reviews, plus, it's Star Wars Revenge of the Sith.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Based on the television series. Highly rated, though the review seemed a bit too subjective to be taken at face value.
The Thing - Not the big orange guy - A horror game based on the 1982 Carpenter film, you plat a rescue team sent to Antarctica to investigate the unusual disappearance of the research team. Horror ensues.
Productive, right?
[12:45-1:45]
Lunch. I went out, got a sandwich, and read a little. It was nice. Definitely the highlight of my day.
[1:45 - present]
More game reviews, bought some games on half.com. (Batman, Sin Tzu; Republic Commando; Riddick). Online chat.
[present - 5:15]
Chatting online with Samantha who ducked out of work early to watch Star Trek The Next Generation. Getting up-to-the-minute play-by-play on the actions of Worf, Geordi, Picard, Riker, etc.
If I have to sit here at the computer, I would much rather have TNG updates.

Woo TNG! I can't believe you mentioned Riker ahead of Data.
:-p
you two have really found each other, huh.
I don't know what that means.

Timmy, Timmy, Timmy.
Spike TV beginning at 3 PM eastern. You obviously need to do some homework.
Unless you're already in class...that's definitely a more important place to be. Plus you can totally buy TNG on DVD. ;)
I'm trying to visit as many of the NaBloPoMo blogs as I can and I thought I'd say hi, I liked your blog.. :)
it means it is hot that you found a girl that likes star trek and also is nice to look at.
