I just wrote three or four paragraphs but my internet went out and I'm not going to write them again.

Cliffnotes:

Went to Alinea, fancy restaurant in Chicago. Was not overly impressed, although it was certainly innovative and a dining experience different from any I have had before. Was a really funny night in general.

My buddy has a place up in the River North of Chicago, in fact he just bought a condo. Seems like a pretty cool neighborhood, got me thinking what it would be like to truly live in the City instead of the suburbs. I don't really think it is my kind of thing, I really like having room and the ability to jump in my car and go wherever I want-- having everything in walking distance is kind of cool though. I'll probably never know what it's like to live downtown in a big city like that.

We've been grinding Mario Kart for several weeks now. It's cool playing with the steering wheel on the Wii. Luckychewy thinks it's the best video game ever-- butNahhhhh, that would be GoldenEye!

Check out our video schedule lately, it's pretty fantastic. I am always shocked when Leggo isn't mentioned among on top of the shorthanded NLHE category of training sites. In fact, I'm patting myself on the back right now... I think I might've just strained something.

eh. people who think goldeneye is the best game ever are just nostalgic over the game. Old games are very rarely objectively better than new games. Never a first person shooter. Obviously golden eye is not better than Modern Warfare 2 or Counter Strike or Halo 3 ect..

that is obviously the case, but i suppose that "best game ever" automatically assumes "of its time" because technology in video games is so important that its progression essentially trumps the previous generation in almost all senses. star wars is not judged based on its special effects, they are basically "forgotten" when you talk about best sci fi movies of all time, or even best movies of all time. goldeneye was definitely a video game that came out at a time that video games were more important to me, but compared to what was out there (n64 was also pretty far ahead of just about everything at the time as well) it was just so much more awesome.

you can't really compare something like halo to golden eye for those same reasons.

n64 was the nuts...Super Mario was so damn fun. Speaking of Mario Kart, I'm pretty good, but my 8 yr old girl kicks my ass
