i played a little bit of Black recently.  it was barely mediocre.  absolutely nothing special about it.  i would never pick up a game that made me recall my hours with Black b/c there's no reason to ever think about them again.

Took the survey.  I hope my answers make all of you filthy rich -- or at least make you feel filthy.

Infinity Ward without  Jason West and Vince Zampella will be at least as good as those Dukes of Hazard episodes without Bo and Luke Duke.

I want to support GiantBomb.  I do.  But can't I just pay you $50 a year or something?  Have you seen the Internet without an ad blocker?  All the purple, flashing, monkey-punching ads?  I can't take it.  It's like a tubercular hobo shouting in your face for a beer.
 
Is there a way in Adblock Plus to just allow GiantBomb?  Poking around in there I haven't hit on it.

2 Sports Active games?  I guess at least one of those is a Natal game.  Sad they don't seem to have a space for anything more revolutionary for that thing.  
 
There is a stranded TBA at the end, but that's just a tease.  I end all of my lists with TBA, too.

Hope MS got their $50MM worth.  Guess this means XBox 360 owners will get to play Agent someday, too.

Can I use it to play checkers?
 
Every time the A$$le (see how that's clever?) zombies asked "Where's the iTablet?", I've thought, "And why do you care?"  I have never once in my life wanted a tablet computer. I use my computer for a thousand things and not one of them would be better served by a tablet interface.

If I was a space colonist, I would be pretty annoyed to travel all the way to Reach just to end up in Sedona.
 
But at least they brought their bland concrete bunker technology with them.

So my Wii, which runs out of memory when my wife tries to load a page from Stereogum in the web browser, is going to stream Apocalypse Now for me?  I think I'll stick to 360 streaming, thanks.
 
And I'm pretty sure the other 14% of Wiis are in the closet.  I can just never get excited about playing a game on my Wii -- though I did play some No More Heroes today.
