DRM is evil. That is all.

I'm on the fence about playing the Silent Hill games. I have an extremely active imagination and I live in a little cottage on a backroad without streetlights. And have I mentioned the coyotes that make blood-curdling noises out in the field about every six weeks or so? Not howls, more like hyena noises.

Don't feel bad, Wayde. I preordered Alan Wake and haven't played it yet, lol.

OK, that's it. I'm headed to the loft to get my PS1 copy of MGS.

I will go to GamerDad and go click-crazy if it helps get you to E3. I like the site anyway and recommend it to all my friends with kids.

I can see you in Ni No Kuni.

Nice song picks. I rarely listen to the radio anymore, but when I do, it's the alternative station out of Portland, WCYY. I may have to buy the Gotye and fun. CDs soon, as I like everything I've heard off them both.

Funny little story regarding "Someone that I used to know", last summer we were at a family gathering out on one of the islands in Casco Bay and Ben had brought his guitar. We were all sitting outside on the porch and the lawn and Ben was playing, and then the little nieces, 9 and 7, asked Ben to play that song and sang along with him.

Medical technology is doing great things these days. My first step-mother could have used those artificial bones - she had rheumatoid artritis so badly that she didn't have a single original joint left in her body and when she passed away, she was pretty much confined to a wheelchair.

A friend who had vocal cord cancer has been part of the clinical trials for a biogel that will fill the area and essentially give him his voice back. Another friend is waiting for the FDA approval to come through so he can have the procedure done.

Hard to describe, so here:

I hear you. Part of the reason I have such a huge pile of unfinished and unplayed games is because I got such a late start. And now I don't feel so bad about the number of obsolete gaming systems I own, lol.

Mmm...coffee! This won't help you, because I don't think they do k-cups, but there's an awesome local (to me) coffee roaster that does some amazing coffee. Wicked Joe is my favorite coffee roaster, if you go to the site and click on their Special Project Coffees and read down the list, you'll figure out why. Plus, the coffee is excellent.

As for Star Trek, I grew up on the original. I hate the JJ Abrams reboot with a passion, by the way. I'll always love the original series, but I think my favorite series may be Deep Space Nine.
