Yeah yeah yeah, 4 days I know I know.
But I have a good excuse! With my job and then the PS2 falling $100 in price, I
went out and bought a Playstation 2 on Wednesday. The main game I wanted (and
the sole reason I bought the original Playstation) was once again Gran Turismo.
Course since DDR Max is coming out for the PS2 in the fall, I'd have to pick one
up anyways. I also bought Frequency , which is a really cool music game which I bought after trying out the
demo since I was so impressed. The soundtrack is killer with all kinds of
electronic artists like BT and Paul Oakenfold. And being that it's a DVD player
as well, I picked up Wargames for only $10. Not
only is it a classic computer movie, but it has Ally
Sheedy dating the computer guy. What's not to like? :)
Anywhos, I've been playing the crap out of the PS2, and watching a ton of movies
as well. And while I was at Best Buy buying the PS2, I also picked up Burnout
for the Gamecube and Weezer's latest CD, which marks the first time I've paid
full price for a CD in a very very long time. Needless to say Best Buy loves me.
They were really insistant on trying to get me to buy a warrenty plan though for
the PS2. But being that for almost all electronic devies, if it works the first
time, it'll work realiably after that, I didn't cave into the pressure. Yep, I
stayed cool and collected and those Best Buy salespersons aren't going to get to
me! No siree!
I also saw A Beautiful Mind for the first time tonight (on
DVD none-the-less) and I love this movie! Tortured genius movies rocks my socks.
I like to think about what it'd be like to be on that level of brains, to see
the world completely different than how other people see it, to see things that
other people don't see. One scene in particular stands out, where he says he's
trying to figure out an agorithem for how the ducks move. Mathematics and
patterns in what appears to be chaos, which is sorta the plot of yet another
great movie, Pi. What can I say, I love math.
I used to crawl
around sewers a little bit as a kid as well. Nothing like the huge Las Vegas system though (in a now deleted article about
a reporter exploring the sewers of Las Vegas). Las
Vegas is a really cool city.
