is a day I really do not care for at all. 

See, I had to tackle quite a bit of code today and fix other people's BS. I was looking forward to.. anything really. A crazy Wii import? Deal! Some very generic Dino shooter on any random platform? Great! PSP port of some random fighting game presented on a fake PSP screen? Fantastic! It's not the actual games, nor is it the witty volleyball tossed back and forth between whichever Bombers happened to pull the ticket that day (although that is a close second, those cats are funny). It's the connection. The experience I have at home or at a pal's playing crap or great games. The few minutes of respite during the day  from what I have to do. Gamer peace if you will. 
 
I appreciate the weekend Quicklooks, but Monday-Friday works best for me. Let's not make a habit of it ok guys? Because a day like today (one without a Quicklook) is really quite craptastic.     

As a fan and prolific mapper of the original PC game, I have been anxiously anticipating the release of Red Faction : Guerrilla. The Beta showed it's promise, the Demos deepened that promise, and now as the reviews trickle in... my anticipation has become a fever. Seems like it will be a unique and explosive experience that will last me most if not all summer.  Plus I will more than likely replay it in the PC version when it is released. A few quotes I snagged from Metacritic, etc below.

I'm playing catchup on 2007 big time! Good thing is Jan and Feb are slow so I have plenty of time.
Recently completed both single player story arcs for MKvsDCU [game rocks btw], then its on to: Call of Duty : WAW, Mirror's Edge, Prince of Persia, and finally Banjo K.
