Time for a New Post
Since the last post broke down into an argument between aging left-wing
hippie douches and inbred right-wing conservative rednecks, I decided
to post something on a more unifying topic. Work sucks, but the
only thing worse is not working. I have begun my job search in
earnest this week, and it has not been fun. You'd think a
Master's of Science in Chemistry would be worth something, but it's
not. Not much, anyway. Everyone is looking for
specialists. So, if you guys ever go out to eat lunch, stop by
McDonalds, because I will be able to give you an employee
discount.

The next eight months are shaping up to be a video game nerds paradise,
and a girlfriend's worse nightmare. This summer alone there are
three games being released that many people have waited 2+ years to
come out, followed quickly by a new GTA3 AND Gran Fucking
Turismo. And right now, the E3 conference is going on where the
game companies are struting their stuff. So without further ado,
the "PhilCo Highly Anticipated Title List - aka the PHAT List (man, I
crack myself up).
- GTA San Andreas
Looks to be set
in the era of the Boys in the Hoodz style of movies. Good
times there. Many of the rumors have surrounded the game has
thought it to take place in LA, but it is looking like the setting is
all of California. Which means I fully expect the Queer Eye Gangs
in San Fran. Cool new things like recruiting gang members, and even
owning a Casino. Good bye 6 months of my life. More details
at GamesRadar. - Doom 3
Many
an hour was spent playing Doom I and II. Probably the single
geekiest moment of my life would be when I got in a debate, at a drama
practice no less, over whether Doom or some gay ass Apogee game called Blake Stone would be better. I think we know who won that debate. Suck on it, drama fags. Anyways, Doom 3 looks badass. - Half-Life 2
This
game makes me happy in my pants. The original Half-Life is
probably the best all around game of all time. Before Grand Theft
Auto 3, it was the only game I had beat three times just because there
was so much to see and do while playing the game. Just hanging
out with the scientists at the beginning of the game was awesome.
Anyways, one of the things I'm most looking forward to in HL2 is the
source engine. They've tried to make the video game world as
realistic as possible. If you shoot up a wooden bridge, the wood
will fall into the water and float, while the metal sinks. You
can knock over barrels (or use a gravity gun to throw them into
enemies). Download some of the movies to check this stuff out. Good times - The Sims 2
Yeah
yeah yeah. shut it. I liked the first one. The
graphics are now 3D, and they are introducing all kinds of new game play features.
The ladies love this game. Until they find out the little buddy
you are controlling in the game has two wives, and hangs out in the
pool all day with the all neighbors wives. But whatever. - Gran Turismo 4
Awwww
yeah. Prior to GTA, this game was THE reason to own a
Playstation. So many people were buying the playstation along
with Gran Turismo, the actually started selling them together in a
package. I know of at least 5 of my friends that bought
playstations JUST for this game. Anyways, the fourth one is
looking to have over 100 courses, and rumored to have at least 800
cars. They are so fanatical about cars that they might delay the
game to 2005 just to get Ferrari's in the game (EA has an exclusive
license with Ferrari that expires in 2005). Awesome stuff (and make sure you check out some of the videos. - Halo 2, bitches
The
game that almost single handedly causes Molly to dump Kris. Oh,
but it was so worth it. Playing through that game on cooperative mode
was a blast, and kicking Marcs faggity ass back and forth is even more
fun. Fight like a man. Anyways, here's the trailer. Hit the lights, it's boner time. - Fable
The
developers are striving to make "the greatest RPG of all time." I
don't know much about it myself, but there is plenty to look at and
do. Here's the latest
preview, and checkout the bottom for more previews and movies. I
believe Wes has spoken highly of what he's read in the past.
