It’s Friday! Finally… Goodness gracious was today fast then totally slow, but here we go again with a weekly look at “what did you enjoy” during this specific week of the year.
What did you listen to this week?
- Matthew Good - Avalanche
- Coldplay - Parachutes
- Trance Tuesday Podcasts
Matthew Good and Coldplay kept me warm in my car this week. Honestly, Coldplay was only played once (and I normally only mention artists/albums I’ve spun at least twice), but since it was their only amazing album I wanted to make a comment. Parachutes is great, and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it… but I ended up skipping like 2 tracks. Crazy. Matthew Good’s Avalanche is (in my opinion) his best album as well. That is the one that was spun most this week. Look it up if you haven’t heard it before. He’s one of the few artists that can pull off long songs (Coheed and Cambria hold the record for the longest songs that rule though). Trance Tuesday podcasts were always blaring from my speakers at work. Between me and another co-worker our office is like an all-night glow-stick rave.
What did you play this week?
- Call of Duty 4 (Xbox 360 - Single Player) - Veteran mode
- Pinball FX (Xbox Live Arcade)
- Dead or Alive (Xbox 360)
- Halo 3 (Xbox 360)
- Gears of War (Xbox 360)
- Ghost Squad (Wii)
- Final Fantasy Chrystal Chronicles (Wii - Gamecube Game)
- Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360)
“HOLY CRAP!” I know you just said that. This week, I had two days of gameplay. Wednesday a friend came over to play some 360, you can see all the titles we tasted for small amounts. Xbox Live was being spotty again, so most of it was not on Live. We ended with a little Ghost Squad on the Wii (I love lightgun games). We played the crap out of FF:CC last night. Mjblink came over and we’re on the quest to get 100,000 gil (each) from the princess. It was great. Plus I hooked it up to the surround sound and it is oh, so beautiful. Burnout Paradise came in the mail today, and I put it in the system. Drove the car like a mile and turned it off. So it barely makes the cut.
What did you watch this week?
- Cloverfield (Theatre)
- Mr. Brooks (DVD)
- Dirty Jobs (TV)
- LA Ink (TV)
- Reno 911 (TV)
Notice something there? That’s right, American Gladiators didn’t make the list. Stupid me thought it was at 9… it’s not. The show starts at 8 folks. Bummer. Also, I love Dirty Jobs. LOVE IT. Mike Rowe is one of greatest TV hosts of our time. Now, if only being a web designer was a dirty job (I don’t think sloppy code counts). Reno 911 is great… Let’s see. CLOVERFIELD! That’s right, I saw it and guess what. Enjoyed it. I’ve heard people telling me it was stupid and they hated the shaky camera… Well research a film before you see it. That’s right I said it. Don’t be retarded people, I saw one preview and knew it was going to be like that. In fact, I loved that whole idea and it made it a better film. Was it the greatest film ever? No, but I got my monies worth. Mr. Brooks was a pretty good movie as well. That was a surprise. Good for Kevin Costner being in something like this. Also, Dane Cook is kind of annoying. The end.
What did you read this last week (that you forgot to mention?
- Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash (Comic)
I totally forgot FvJvA (1,2,& 3) last week. While it’s not great, I’ve only got 3 more left and I’m sticking it out. What I don’t get is how on one page the art looks amazing, and then you turn it and it looks like it’s a disgusting rough draft that was pulled from the artist. Who knows… maybe the artist is just lazy. I can never tell these things.
That’s it. Weekend. Starts. Now! Comment.
