Sweet, my copy came in today! Amazon really went a bit overboard on the packaging though, it was in a box about 10x to big for it, the whole time opening it I was trying to remember if I had ordered anything else from there recently, heh

Hopefully it'll result in a new Norton line to be re-used over and over instead of "He stinks and I don't like him!" from his Spidey cameo, heh

Amazon shipped my copy today, yay!

Nice, wasn't that long ago that I was saying to someone that a new Ghostbusters game would own. Wonder what type it's gonna be. My idea was for a kinda free roaming one in the style of Spider-Man 2 and 3, where you can either do the main story missions or go around randomly busting ghosts and doing other side stuff.

damn, just naming 10 is tough...I'm looking through several list going d'oh, can't believe I forgot him...

1.George Carlin

2.Bill Hicks

3.Lewis Black

4.Mitch Hedberg

5.Jim Gaffigan

6.Larry Miller

7.Patton Oswalt

8.Jim Norton

9.Dave Chappelle

10.Bill Maher

I am so getting this, can't wait!

"Heroes" creator apologizes to fans

Tim Kring admits mistakes were made at the beginning of season 2, but promises to get back on track

On the chilly Monday morning that Hollywood's writers went on strike, Heroes creator Tim Kring called from the streets outside the Hollywood studio where his NBC series is shot. ''Yes, I'm picketing my own show,'' says the 50-year-old writer-producer. ''So surreal.''

But Kring wasn't calling to discuss labor woes — he was calling to explain why Heroes, suffering a creative decline and a 15 percent ratings drop from the same period last year, went from Human Torch hot to Iceman cold. The good news? A turnaround appears to be under way. After weeks of sluggish storytelling, the Nov. 5 episode recaptured some of last season's fanciful energy. We've also seen the next two episodes — and we like them, too. The cliff-hangers are back. Narrative purpose has been discovered. Old favorites like Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) and Horn-Rimmed Glasses (Jack Coleman) take center stage. Even more encouraging: Kring himself is keenly aware that Heroes is broken. Here's his candid critique:

THE PACE IS TOO SLOW ''We assumed the audience wanted season 1 — a buildup of intrigue about these characters and the discovery of their powers. We taught [them] to expect a certain kind of storytelling. They wanted adrenaline. We made a mistake.''

THE WORLD-SAVING STAKES SHOULD HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED SOONER The premonition of nuclear apocalypse created a larger context that unified every story line last season. Kring now sees that Volume 2 (the first 11 episodes of season 2) would have been better served if Peter's vision of viral Armageddon had appeared in the season premiere rather than episode 7. ''We took too long to get to the big-picture story,'' he says.

THE ROOKIES DIDN'T GREET THEMSELVES PROPERLY New Heroes Monica (Dana Davis), Maya (Dania Ramirez), and Alejandro (Shalim Ortiz) ''shouldn't have been introduced in separate story lines that felt unattached to the show. The way we introduced Elle (Kristen Bell) — by weaving her in via Peter's story line — is a more logical way to bring new characters into the show.'' (That said, Kring says a few newbies won't make it beyond this second volume, which wraps Dec. 3.)

HIRO WAS IN JAPAN WAY TOO LONG Hiro's (Masi Oka) time-bending adventure in 17th-century Japan — where he mentored samurai hero Takezo Kensei (David Anders) — finally came to an end on Nov. 5. But Kring says it ''should have [lasted] three episodes. We didn't give the audience enough story to justify the time we allotted it.''

YOUNG LOVE STINKS Kring regrets sticking Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with a super-dud boyfriend and forcing Hiro to moon over a cutesy princess. ''I've seen more convincing romances on TV,'' he admits. ''In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us.''

Yet while Heroes has finally found some dramatic traction, this second volume is pretty much a wash. The Dec. 3 episode has been retooled to function as a potential season finale — a move inspired by the writers' strike and a desire to give the show ''a clean slate'' when it goes back into production for Volume 3. At that point, Kring wants to craft a rebooted Heroes that can attract new fans and win back those who've tuned out: ''The message is that we've heard the complaints — and we're doing something about it.''

House's Mighty Good Man ringtone ftw!

Think that says it all

Flight was surprisingly good, one of the better recent zombie movies...I don't know if that says much though, heh

Damn....this one is much harder than the previous ones.

Co-Op on Medium is now finished. Single player mode on Medium is now finished......except Raining Blood...fuck Slayer.....

Now to start another band and try to come up with the money to unlock the rest of the shit since Hard and Expert is a No-No for me.

They need an unlimited money cheat to go along with the Unlock All Songs cheat.

Fuck, you lucky bastards. It's not out for another month yet over here.

Guitar Hero 3

My Name is Jonas is driving me nuts, coming so close to getting a 500 streak and FCing it on medium but always screw up somewhere in the 400-450 mark, argh...

Edit: Yay got the 500 note streak, but missed the fc by 3 notes, heh

got my copy, working my way through my first tour, up to 3rd tier, good times Will prob jump online later on if anyone wants to wipe the floor with me, heh

According to IGN no other guitars other than the Strat work with the game so it's going to be only 75% playable out of the box until next year. :ohwell:

"Are you gonna rape us?" Butters brings the funny yet again

I'm guessing Sylar's gonna use the twins to get info from Suresh since obviously he won't be able to do it himself, heh

Is it next week's episode? Or next fortnight's? The download I had said it was coming in two weeks. What's so important in the US that they have to delay House?

Well in that case, can't put Python skits up without putting up

Just got into this show, got the first 2 seasons through Netflix and DLed and watched the first 3 eps of the current season, how the heck did I miss this show of awesomeness?

I knew it was gonna be her head as soon as I read that the chick playing Sara changed her mind about coming back.
