Woven Cognition

I dunno how I let time get away from me like this. But whatever. Sunday wasn't spectacular. I just watched Big Brother and the Academy Awards. I'm so glad Juno won some awards and that Heath Ledger was honored. I also watched Cold Case, which is a good show. It's pretty moving.

Big Brother After Dark is so much fun to watch. That night, they had a strip show that pretty much turned into a living room orgy. Then they all went skinny dipping. Lmao. I wish I could have that much fun. While it was on, a strange car kept going past my house; what I saw was them going past my house from the right slowly, like they were gonna turn into the driveway. I thought they were my parents but they kept going. Then, they slowed down by my neighbor's driveway. So I thought it was them.. then the U-turned, slowed down my driveway.. kept going.. U-turned AGAIN.. went down the lane next to my house.. came back up.. then went to my next door neighbor's house.. stayed there a while, then left with my neighbor behind him. Suspicious much? Gotta  watch out for those fucking feds.

Earlier, I saw an ad for Gears of War 2 coming out in November which inspired me to pick up my copy of GoW which I got for Christmas 2006 and hadn't played pretty much since I got it (which was the same for FEAR and those Burger King games... pretty much all the games.. heh.) I played a little bit of the part I was currently at, kept dying and quit. I tried again later and kept at it. At first, I was thinking I wouldn't be interested in this game, but it was way cool and very interesting and kept me coming back for more. My brother went on Live and co-oped with me on some of the game. It was a lot of fun. I didn't think you could play 2 player on a campaign over Live.

The next day, I played a lot more. I breezed through that game. I love it when games are more like a downhill climb than an uphill one. When I say that, I mean that it's not IMPOSSIBLY hard to get through, not necessarily kindergarten level. Extremely hard and/or boring games just turn me off. My brother wanted me to try Rock Band with him. I'm not really into those kinda games, so I didn't wanna do it but I did anyway. Truth is, it was actually pretty fun! I think I will definitely play again soon! Later, he helped me with the final boss on GoW. Amazing game fo' sho'.

After that was done, I popped in the demo disc he got from Xbox magazine and played the main demo from the disc. It's a game called "Turning Point: Fall of Liberty," and it's about an alternate history if Winston Churchill had died when he got hit by the taxi in 1931 instead of survived, how different things would be. It results in the Nazis attacking New York City. It's rather profound but the game seems like it could be really entertaining from the short playable demo. I know it'll stir up controversy. The game was actually released here today ("today" being the 26th, not the 27th) in NA before anywhere else. Damn, I'm gonna have to add that to my suddenly ever growing list of games to buy.
