Deep Thoughts
Here we go with another all encompassing column:
1. The more I hear about Ron Paul, the more I kind of like the guy. Tell me why I should/shouldn't like him. Of course being my party affiliation isn't Republican, I guess I won't be voting for him whenever the hell the primary is...
2. Picked up four games today: Crysis (holy crap), Assassin's Creed (so far looks like IGN was right), MoH 2 for the Wii (surprisingly good), and Rayman 2 (another Wii game).
3. Make sure you get Carcassonne FREE while you can. I hear it's a great game. I'm getting it now as well. Also there are a ton of LIVE is 5IVE freebies, including all kinds of free themes. Funny how you can download a MechAssault theme, which is interesting considering the game isn't backward compatible. But MW2: Lone Wolf is, which is a game I think about four people bought -- honestly, I didn't even know that there was a "Lone Wolf" game. It was a long 3 years ago..
4. I will admit Friday Night Lights this year is bordering on the weird -- from the 24 Secret Service guy burying evidence, to a HS coach coming back in the middle of the season. Sorry about that recommendation.
5. A new show I'm a big fan of is Chuck, Monday at 8pm on NBC. This is like Alias-lite (in fact the tech guy made an appearance this week as a bad guy). THere's no deep meaning, but there's lots of spy-esque stuff along with sexual tension. It's an interesting take, and of course the fake Best Buy store is great. They even setup a website for it , which you can see here.
6. Anyone try Soldier of Fortune? I was going to buy it today but then I thought "hmm, if no one know sabout this game, it must not be good"...no buzz at all....would love to hear thoughts, if any.

I don’t think you were wrong to recommend FNL. Yeah, the whole Landry-Tyra thing needs to get wrapped up quickly, but other than that, I think it’s just as good as it was last season. I think there’s some potential for good story lines now that Coach is also the head of the athletic department. Plus, come on, it’s Connie Britton. She’s hawt!
I’m looking forward to reviewing Medal of Honor. I haven’t shot a Nazi in ages.

Typical American 2 party politics. You finally find a guy that’s worth voting for and he’s from another camp so you can’t vote for him unless that camp chooses him to run. Of course that camp will not choose him because people from your camp like him so choosing him would be enabling your camp to “win”.
We’re going to end up with yet another session of “Who do you hate least” when November comes, and honestly I can honestly say the front runners from both sides make me cringe.

Are you using the Wii Zapper for MOH 2?
