Pooooiiiiiiieeeeee
Wow, I log in this morning and see Peter's Pie Shop 2 on the
front page!! YES!!!!! Odd thing is that it's not even the best
one I'll definately be releasing the rest of them, there are 5
normal ones, a christmas one and a self-parody. I'll probably
release one every few days or something.

Insert flash-related title here
I set aside 2 full days off to work on my part in blade's RE collab
and suddenly I get a phone call slating me for 2 full day of work,
so no work for the movie there, but now I find out that it's been
extended by a few more weeks, so I may have it done in time...... may.

Games, the reason my gallery has tumbleweeds in it
My collection just keeps getting bigger and bigger, somebody
traded in Guitaroo Man so I grabbed that one straight away, best
thing about my job, first dibs on anything that comes in store.
I got an x-box version of Psychonauts shipped in from the other
side of the country and I finally picked up a game I've been after
for years, MGS: The Twin Snakes on Gamecube, it turned up at one of
our nearby stores.

Movie related headline
Yep, saw Pirates 2, like everybody else and just like everyody else
I though it was good, I hadn't seen the first one so I had to watch
it the night before, just like when I had to watch X-men 1 and 2 the
morning of going to see it 3rd one. Also saw Over The Hedge, great
movie, mostly because it has next to no pop-culture references unlike
those other movies *coughsharktalecough*, I picked up the sounttrack
as well (see below) and saw Cars, it was ok, still not as good as
Monsters Inc. best.... pixar movie..ever!

Techneon's wacky CD quest
So I walk out of the cinema after seeing Over the Hedge and head
straight to the local CD shop SANiTY to pick up the
soundtrack, I'm a big fan of Ben Folds stuff. I ask at the counter
and they tell me they don't have it in stock, but if I drop 10 bucks
off for down payment they'll get one in for me so I pay and wait 2 weeks.
I ask them and they say they don't have it yet, even though I've seen it
at other CD stores in other nearby towns, so I wait a bit longer.
Finally after another week I ask again and not only do they not have it,
they have no idea when or if it's coming in, so I get my ten bucks back
and find it 10 bucks cheaper at the nearby k-mart. Stupid SANiTY, one
thing I noticed on the way out was they had no Over the Hedge soundtrack,
but about 50 copies of THIS SHIT on every shelf, it's just not right!

"Development on Prey began in 1995 at the same time as Duke Nukem Forever
and was slated for release at the same time"
-Prey's Wikipedia entry, hilarious!
