When a friend of yours tells you his over endowed muscle near his elbow -which looks over developed - is not from wacking off, tell him he is a dirty liar. Especially if he happens to have a 40 gig hard drive full of porn. In fact laugh, laugh because he is probably ashamed of that fact. And then stop laughing because he has probably touched alot of your stuff. Yeah.

Speaking of other manisms.This is pretty cool, and I hope that if I'm a good girl that The Godfather will be good. It is pretty much THE American-film icon. It has given birth to shows like the Sopranos and is arguably one of the most quotable movies in history. From what I have read on the subject they are taking the great story that we all know and love and just expanding the greater world in which is lives in. I’m personally hoping for more great lines like “lets go to the mattresses” or “Leave the gun, take the Canolli” – Being released pretty widely (most systems except the game cube and other Nintendo portables, as far as I know) it will be accessible by most gamers. If you want to check out more I suggest reading the Game Spot articles on the subject.

I not only play Video Games but also Table tops and Board games. A company who I know and love who is one of the current best Board game creators/publishers is Days of Wonder. They have a pretty wonderful grasp on what makes a game fun to play. And most of them are simple enough to play with godforbid, your aging parents or grandparents. I highly recommend all of them, but especially Shadows Over Camelot.

Speaking of board games, I refuse to play Risk 2210 with either Kyle or Mark again. You dirty dirty bastards.

Winds, Guide me.

Soul Calibur isn’t just a fighting game. It’s a way of life. Not the sort of life where you get up every morning, catch the train to work sort of life, but a life lived on the edge, hanging on a precipice with the wind pushing you back. It’s fighting for your meager existence in the hopes of earning enough cash from the next win to finance a better billy club. Unless you are me, it’s a short life – especially if you encounter me.

Every fighting game has one of them in some fashion. Whether delivering forceful kicks at such speeds they blur or flipping around the room only to frankensteiner their opponent the impossibly hot chick has a place in the video fighting game world. And it isn’t unrealistic. You can find hot chicks in the real world everyday, sliding down firepoles and kicking the snot out of Dr. Hobo as though it were a routine basis. It’s the tiny, impossibly cute and vindictively vivacious girl with her breasts jiggling realistically and defying gravity that makes the fighting game great. Because it is easy to beat up a friend with an over-muscled, can’t scratch his own hairy shoulders half-man with a giant i-beam for a sword… it’s not just easy – it’s realistic. But when you beat up his endowed overcompensating pixels with a tiny hot chick a little piece of their soul dies.

From Chun Li to Talim, Kasumi to Kitana… to Princess Peach herself, the fighting hot chick is the ultimate humiliation factor. “You got beat by a girl” is always the most effective insult to the gaming elite. Just ask the girls at Fragdolls.

It's always a trial finding something of value amidst the horrors of what some publishers think passes for a rewarding game these days. So lately I have been turning to my good friends for some board game interludes between Christmas season game frenzies.

Generally speaking, the board game tradition is quite valuable, as long as two random and nameless players avoid team up to destroy a certain surrounded, but no less able player. This could end in nuclear warfare, or even an ulimate showdown.

In any event, the different derivations of risk released quite some time ago now, are worth looking into, but unlike the Day's of Wonder board game company, they require a rather high level of gaming skill to play. But then again if you just read the above comic, and your reading this now.. that probably means you are one of those few.
