Demo impressions are useless, play the demo. I’ve decided instead to tell you more about the Girl. I have a fantastic woman in my life. Most nerds are happy with any woman, maybe I would be to, but luckily I have an amazing woman who likes me for some indiscernible reason. She has a lot of very good qualities and many of the qualities she lacks I have in spades. We’re a great team and more then that we know it enough to use our differences to our advantage. For instance, I can read a map very well. She makes knows how to encourage me. I encourage too but since everything I say sounds like a lie or a backhanded compliment I think she does a better job at it then I do.
All of this pails in comparison to what she did this morning. At PAX she pre-ordered Brutal Legend for me, a very sweet thing to do already. Then, since she’s Allison and everything good happens to her, she won the limited edition 17 inch Eddie Riggs statue. That will be in my apartment near the end of the month, but it wont be mine officially. I can handle that. No, what happened this morning what selfless. She received an email giving her the code for early entrance into the Brutal Legend demo and gave it to me without second thought. I opened by saying we have complimentary weaknesses, Brutal Legend is my weakness. I would not have been able to do the same thing, had our roles been reversed.
I will be playing the demo today until I can’t anymore. Don’t talk to me, I’m not interested. Unless of course if you’re the Girl, then I have all the time in the world. All of this was written in the time it took my Xbox to download the demo. Bye.
Taking a day to lay around and play teh my5t3ry g4m3, hopefully finish the super-secret and embargo’d review. Thought I’d give all of ya’ll a list of the stuff that I am looking forward to so you can share in my hopes and dreams, maybe learn to love.

I have be researching ways to embed countdown clocks into my site, maybe I’ll have a page that’s just a bank of clocks. Feel free to way in on the validity of that idea.
Here it is everyone who was too cool to watch the VGAs, the Brutal Legend trailer. In it you have actual gameplay (a lot of focus on vehicles actually), about a second of combat, and then a nice little quip about a certain wife-of-God turned vampire thing. All in all it was exactly what I was expecting it to be, if not a little more hoopdie based. I would count down the days if I had a release date.
After the break, all the other exclusive (but not as cool) trailers. Wheat above, Chaff below.

About 4 in the morning yesterday I left. I was watching the Comedians of Comedy on my Netflix only to see they were going to some amazing old school arcade in Portland and I live not three hours away from there. Now I was just sitting here wasting my time making a business card in hopes that I would one day submit it to PAX and be able to skip lines and get in for cheap. Anyway, I was doing nothing but being bored and trying to wrap my head around graphic design when Patton and Brian pull up to Ground Kontrol. I put on a jacket and left and not 3 hours later and I was waiting outside to play some awesome Space Invaders cab. Then I spent $45 in quarters and slept in my car for the first snow of the season. I think I’ll get home some time around Midnight. Oh, and there’s a guaranteed post about the Brutal Legend trailer once it goes live.
