RIP
My mom bought a Playstation 3. The guy at the store told her that it plays Blu-Ray discs and also plays games. And since it’s the same price as a standalone Blu-Ray player, it’s two machines in one. So she now owns a PS3.
The Great Format War is over. HD-DVD may now be relegated to the dustbin of history. Guess which side I chose?
That’s right: HD-DVD. I backed the wrong horse. I bought the HD-DVD add-on for the Xbox 360 because it was cheap and came with five free discs (among them, Tomb Raider and The Rundown, natch). Although I did get Casablanca as well, so all is not lost. I still use it primarily as a DVD player (my old Sony DVD player is nothing more than a shiny turd).
How do I feel? Like I need to get a PS3. I just wish there were better games on it. I need to ask my mom what she’s playing.
I need minions. House MD provides a good template for how minions should behave. I need one that always agrees with me, a second that always disagrees with me, and a third that is morally outraged by whatever I do.
One of them should also be a melee expert; the second should be good with ranged weapons, and the third should be a magic user.
