Cool! Thanks, Matt! Listening now.

That station sounds good. Is there a URL you'd like to share with the rest of us?

I value honest opinion and I haven't bothered with any of the big review site in a long time. Cary is pretty much the only reviewer I actually trust. I am curious about what games you were playing that you didn't like and which one got you curb-stomped for not liking it. Persoanlly, I've never liked the Sly Cooper games and so many other people love them to pieces.

As for reviews, I looked up some on a couple of professional review sites for The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief to see what they were saying, and the paid reviewers were all giving it great reviews and I was wondering if we'd played the same game, and then I read a user review on IGN that asked that same question. I had to laugh. And then I made the decision to not waste any more of my time on a game I wasn't enjoying.

As for Hotel Dusk, I loved that game. So much so that I imported the sequel from England. Which reminds me that I got distracted and never finished Cape West...Maybe that's the game I'll finish up next.

Thanks, Cary! I'm really excited. And I know I won't be the last person over the finish line now, my friends from NJ signed up, too, and they haven't done anything outdoorsey since before they had kids, and their oldest is 28. If I do ok in this race (finish and not be too sorry afterwards), I'll sign up for the second race, it's a mile longer, and then if I do ok in that race, then I'll sign up for the last one, which is 1.5 miles longer.

I thought Thoreau was cool until I learned that he went home to mommy for meals and had her do his laundry.

They changed writers, or I think that's what happened. That makes a huge difference with some shows.

I don't count my chickens before they hatch. Would be a good game, though.

Find one of the older ones used so you're not spending much on it and try it out. My personal favorite so far has been the first Lego Indiana Jones game. It came out in 2008, so you shpould be able to find it cheap somewhere, and it seemed to have fewer glitches than some of the newer games.

Wow, look what I missed last July! Interesting how everyone commenting was male...

Nice pick up on the Diamond Dogs album.

The sun finally came out after four days of rain here. Tuesday was the worst, because it all froze. My car was encased in a couple of inches of ice, and I thought I was going to have to go out and rescue the poor dog because his feet kept going out from under him when he went out to do his business. Tuesday night, it warmed up and just poured until late yesterday afternoon. The good thing about that was that it melted the ice off my car before my job interview (I didn't get the job). The bad things was everything is now flooded. I had to drop my car off at my mechanic yesterday to get my snow tires put on and I walked home through the woods. Dog and I were soaked and cold when we got home. At least the rain stopped by the time I had to walk back and get my car, only our feet got soaked that time.

As for my weekend, just planning on Jason coming over on Sunday and watching football with me.
