Yeah yeah yeah, so it's Friday the 13th today, big deal right? Well, that's what I thought until I brought my car in for what I thought was going to be a standard brake check. $900 later, I get to pick up my car. DOH!, it's a good thing I really trust these guys or I might think something was up.

Thanks to the few that showed up for the Forza 3 Community Gamenight on Tuesday. I am sure there would have been more people, but CODMW2 came out which I am sure 99.8% of people were playing. Speaking of how many people were playing.. CHAAA CHING! Did you see/read/hear how many copies were sold in the first 24hrs? HELLO BANK!!

Oh, got this emblem from Tuesday night.

Red ones go faster.
This person has it all figured out where Forza Motorsport 3 is concerned. It's not about driving fast, it's about driving however you like so long as you look doing it. Awarded to racers who have impressed GameSpot editors with their car designs, regardless of their skills behind the wheel.

Back to MW2. Played it, finished it. 9hrs, 20mins for me. So I have no clue as to how people are saying they finished it in 4hrs. Thought the story was "decent" and the gameplay and enviorments were AMAZING. Well worth the $$ to me, and that is not even talking about the multiplayer aspect.

Went and saw The Fourth Kind last weekend. Can't say everybody will love it, but if you "believe", you may find it disturbing.

Nothing going on with me this weekend, Stacey is working, I will be cleaning the place.... as we prepare to move... at some point.

That is all, be safe, have a GREAT weekend!

Oh, I leave you with this....

Don't be this guy!

So I understand that there is a little known title coming out tonight at midnight called MW2, and that MANY of you will be busy all day & night on Tuesday playing, but if you have Forza 3, and need a break... check out Gamespots Commuity Game Night

A few of us will be tearing up the tracks and layin the rubber down in what might be the best sim racer out. Come out and join us! Then, after an hour to two you can go back to your silly MW2.

Here is one of the cars I will be using..

Hello to all out there in Gamespot land, it's been a little while since we last spoke. I have been very busy with work, and life so I figued I would take a quick moment to catch up with you all.

On the life side of things, the hunt for a new house has started! For those that have been through this before,you know what I mean when I say this can take up every free minute of your time. Just looking at places that are even close to where we currently live seems to take FOR FREAKING EVER. The good news is, I think we have things narrowed down to two places, so this may come to an end soon. Then, we just have to pack, move, fix up the old place and sell it.. or maybe keep it and rent it out, have not decided on that yet.

On the gaming front, wow, where to start. It seems like I have blown through a bunch of games in the past few weeks. Dirt 2, for you racing fans is a FANTASTIC game with awesome graphics and great game play. For you PS3 peeps, you MUST play Uncharted 2. The game keeps on keeping on with a great story, and beautiful enviorments. Gameplay is solid, and there is a new multiplayer aspect that can keep you going after you finish the single player part. Again, this is a MUST PLAY IMO.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Hmm, what to say.... this might be one of the first games where I feel it was over hyped to the point where the devs actually flat out LIED to potential buyers of the game. Don't get me wrong, it's not really a bad game, it just did not have things that we were TOLD would be in the game.

Forza 3 : WOW, race fans on the 360, don't wait to jump into this game. It's DEEP with lots of cars and tracks, and more customization then you probably know what to do with! Speaking of this game, make sure you check out the Gamespot COMMUNITY GAME NIGHT for next weeks game night that features Forza 3. More info can be found HERE

More Life stuff.........

As you all know, Halloween was last weekend, man am I glad that it's OVER! I love halloween, but I think I have finally found something that I just might be getting too old for.... loud, crowded bars on halloween night

Here in Baltimore we have a area of the city called Fells Point. Thisplace probably has three bars for every retail store in the area, and on Halloween you can say it gets a little............ crazy. Any way, I had a buddy of mine fly in from Denver for the weekend (for another reason that you will see in a minute) So I figued it was my duty to subject him to the drunken mobs that rule the streets in Fells Point on this night. Man, don't think I will ever do that again.

Why helllllooo there, take me to your TeePee....

And here is my new favorite bartender. She offered to tie me up in her web, but I could not let that happen.

So as mentioned before, a buddy of mine flew in from Denver for the weekend. The reason... the Ravens were playing the (at the time) undefeated Denver Broncos. This pic was taken from our seats...

Turned out to be great game for Baltimore, with a 30-7 win!

Oh, one more pic.. I took this yesterday out of my home office window. I had it all framed up, and would have been a very cool pic of a Blue Jay, but the damn bird could not wait, so this is what I got.

That's about it for now. Hope you are all doing well.... GAME ON!
