Elway's liver

Congrats to vince on his move up to denver. i was apparently fully out of the loop on that one, and was kind of confused at why he would move away from texas. Then the gods of mens health blessed me with the knowledge. Austin, always a favorite city of the man was recently listed as the the seventh drunkest city in the nation. A respectable number to say the least, but who takes the national championship??? You guessed it Denver, Colorado.

baylor takes down aggie on their home turf in quintuple overtime.
hahahhahaha poor aggies. I dont know what hurts them more the loss of law or gillespie, either way im looking forward to texas taking out some football based aggression on the court. On the football side of things UT just upped greg davis' salary again, thus proving that despite the appearance of the major he wont be going anywhere in the foreseeable future.

Just got done tearing up assassins creed. The game was definitely one of the most beautiful i have ever played. The free running in the game was awsome, i cant imagine the amount of work it took to make so much of the game jumpable/climbable. I wouldnt recommend buying the game though, following a growing trend among games it can be completed in a couple of days, and it really doesnt have an online contingent that makes it worth owning. It should be a good indicator or what the stealth genre can develop into in the next couple years. I can't wait for the next metal gear and tenchu to come out. Should be hours of shadows,death, and swordplay.

I read a story a while back that the games are getting shorter because research has shown that nearly half of the people that play never get close to the end. I believe that it was based on half life 2 which only has about 4-5 hours of play. It seems really odd to me especially with how story driven games have become. It would be like walking out of a movie that you paid 60.00 to see. Although i think that the finishing of games is probably something that was ingrained in me early, i remember not being able to purchase new nintendo games until i beat the one i had.

Sadly the offer of my soul and firstborn was not enough for barret jackson. Apparently the combined value for both is only about 6.75 and I already had a note out on my soul for the 2005 longhorn team. That aside, if you were wondering how much a truck eating dinosaur runs in the open market it’s a touch under 600k.

1300am

More than once, while watching sports someone (usually cody) has tried to line up the local radio sports commentary with the game on television. With the increase in bandwidth as television attempts to push more channels and higher definition feeds to us, I don’t see why we shouldn’t eventually have the option for different audio feeds. Besides the obvious technical difficulties, there is of course the bigger problem which revolves around advertising.

If the television station where to pay the locals for use of their commentary, and were the distributors it seems they would be free to cut to their commercials the same as they currently do. So they wouldn’t be loosing advertising time slots, and if this were really popular they may even be able leverage some pay cuts to those two bit hacks like mark may. The AM stations should make some extra bucks off the tv deals while still retaining their radio only advertising they are already receiving. Seems like a win win.

on another bonus from this situation, when you are watching "teen wolf" for the 45th time on TBS, at least you could switch over to the directors commentary, or maybe the mystery science theater voiceover

There has been some serious prick waving the auto industry the past couple years and the outcome has been awe inspiring. A couple years back when the new model of the corvette the c6 came out the z06 option jumped the horsepower up to 505 which just happens to be a smidgen more than the viper. This of course caused dodge the up the ante with an even bigger engine and an full 600 hp at the flywheel. Not to be outdone the new corvette zr1 is coming in at over 625. The vehicle is ridiculous, and while no means cheap 100k is a really low price compared to the imports.



along the same theme the new hayabusa is out and is even faster. suzuki also came out with a naked version that is awesome.

back

Its been a little while. I changed jobs around October and have been seriously swamped at work. I now have most of the groundwork setup and am rockin and rollin. Should be able to post a little more.

two things I miss from my old job
-beer Friday, man I miss free beer on the job.
-my blackberry, I had about of month of withdraws from my digital leash, now I just cant fathom paying that much for the data plan on my phone.

-watched the first half of the michigan state vs ohio state game yesterday. I cant believe those ass clowns beat us. It was absolutely horrible. I saw no less than 3 kickball violations in a 10 minutes span. the big 11 needs a new motto, probably something to do with old people screwing. "slow and ugly brought to you by the mid-west"

-football jesus has returned to austin, long live the major!
