this may be two parts since it's been a while since my last post. i've effectively put my entire life on hold while planning vegas and staying with my parents in salisbury, md. progress was slow for a while, likely due to the holidays, but i've submitted an application for a 2br condo in sky on the 37th floor which should be perfect. if everything goes well then i'll be leaving this weekend. i haven't been playing much at all but i got my new computer and another 30", so i've been slowly setting that up for the grind that will ensue in the coming weeks. i'll be sure to add pictures once i'm set up and settled.




as if i could give anything lost related less than 5 stars. video games that are based on movies or tv are usually not good but this was amazing. some parts of the game were weird/difficult to the point of frustration but that's a forgone conclusion when i play video games (i may or may not have smashed a controller while playing uncharted 2). it's a different storyline that loosely ties in with the main storyline of lost. interestingly unique, good graphics, accurate, awesome!




you know how i said uncharted 2 was the best game of all time? it's the second best game of all time. i'm actually still grinding out some of the various things you have to find throughout the game but i'll give it a preemptive 5 stars. very similar to assassin's creed but with some nice upgrades. the basic story is that you're an ancestor of assassins and you're captured by the templars. you need to use your ancestor's memories to learn to fight modern day templars. just f play it.




first movie i've watched on streaming netflix. fairly good, although there are some cheesy parts. not much is really sticking out in my mind. i could probably find 2 stars for this, but i'm feeling generous.




5 stars! you're just going to have to trust me, because honestly i thought this was going to be the worst movie ever and it sat in the pile for several weeks before i watched it. set in philadelphia where i lived for 3 years, and partially in vegas where i'm about to live. be prepared for a score of sad piano music and incredibly exciting action. if you don't cry, laugh and enthusiastically fist pump then you're a f robot.
