Hello friends,

I noticed the page has not been updated in 2 months to the day so I figured I would fill the main page with a little bit of content. About a week ago I was going to write some stuff about part of the Euclid Corridor project being “open,” Ingenuity fest (missed it), the Scene eating the Free Times (how’s the new boss, Matt?) and I think something else about Cliff Lee being awesome. But that is all in the past now, so let’s move on to more pressing matters: Video Games and comic books.

I beat GTA4. What a game. I was also told by a friend that if I can beat Ninja Gaiden 2 on the normal difficulty level then he will give me $10. I’m on chapter 6, out of 14, and it’s not looking so good. I’m allowed to use GameFAQs.com (advertisement), but even so, it’s so hard.

Surprisingly I got into this game called Civilization: Revolution. It’s some strategy game, sort of like Sim City and Risk, and maybe a little Warcraft 2. I beat the easy level and I think I’m about to go start up a game on Normal. I’ll keep you updated.

I saw The Dark Knight twice. That combined with the Watchmen trailer got me really excited about comic books again so I went to the store on Saturday and bought $63 worth. I caught up on as much X-Men as I could. Apparently the normal X-Men line is called X-Men: Legacy. The latest arc was pretty decent. Uncanny X-Men just hit its 500th issue and honestly I thought that was pretty good too. I am right about caught up but I think I’m going to go back and start reading X-Men from when Morrison was writing it (all the new X-Men stuff) up to now. That’ll include all that House of M crap that I missed.

Astonishing X-Men got some new writers and the first thing they did was make sure it was in line with the rest of the X-Men universe. The best thing about Astonishing was that Whedon didn’t give a shit about cross-continuity and the first thing Ellis does coming in is fuck that all up. As you can observe by my language, I’m not happy at all. Maybe it’ll get better but they got rid of Colossus with no explanation. What the hell?

I also got my hand on all the Batman RIP stuff I could get a hold of. Seems pretty good. I especially liked the newest issue of Robin in that line. I don’t know though, I feel a little out of the loop. Do you think I should go back and try to pick up some of Morrison’s Batman stuff before that? Will that help me out?

So what do you say? You reading anything good?
