My Christmas vacation started off with a flat tire on Friday. That was fun. Anyhoo Tammy got me a PSP, something I didn’t even realize I wanted until I started to play Metal Gear: Acid. It’s a great game regardless of what the mixed reviews would have you believe. I loaded the 2.0 firmware on…

On Tuesday Monsters Inc. started its soft-opening previews over at DCA. The painfully crappy Superstar Limo was removed, the building gutted, and Monsters Inc has taken its place. Initial reactions have been pretty good. If you want to ruin it for yourself, I’m told pictures and a ride-through video are here.
When Flash and sprites collide, you get things like Mortal Kombat vs Street Fighter.
I’m not really sure why, but I watch Saturday Night Live every week. As unfunny as most episodes seem to be, every now and then they’ll throw in a sketch that’s unexpectedly hilarious.

Have you ever thought to yourself “Man, this DayQuil is delicious. I love it so much, I wish I could brush my teeth with it. YUM!” If that sounds like you, your day has finally come. Aquafresh Extreme Clean: Original Experience tastes exactly like DayQuil. I bought a four-pack of these things yesterday at Costco…
This Japanese TV commercial for the SNES’ The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is not to be missed.
At Tammy’s company Christmas party last night (one of them) everybody got 512MB iPod Shuffles! Tam’s already got a regular iPod, so I get the Shuffle! Hooray! It’s definitely tiny, and 512MB is seriously weak for any digital audio player, but hey – free is free!
