Things That Mattered To Me Today- Monday, October 4th, 2010

News and Views:

• Good news! Nintendo's new and upcoming handheld, the 3DS finally has a price! Bad news its $300! I had a lot of hope for this system. It looks great and will feature a remake of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Thats almost all I needed to hear to be sold. Then I heard the price point, and the fact that updates will be automatic. Those dont really appeal to me much. I think I will stick with my DS and PSP for handheld gaming needs. Link here

• ABCs new show No Ordinary Family didnt suck! I watched the first episode and was pleasantly surprised. Its a bit cheesy at times, but it very much feels like a live action. Plus it stars Julie Benz, who I will one day marry. Give it a shot if you like superhero shows. It doesnt take itself as seriously as Heroes did, so here's to hoping it stays good.

The Short List: 

• Walmart's Banned Items List

• 13 Wildly Irresponsible Vintage Ads Aimed at Kids

• Civ 5 not sucking too bad

• Rise Against's Album- Siren Song of The Counter Culture

Two pictures are worth a thousand words:

Things That Mattered To Me Today- Friday, October 1, 2010

News and Views:

• Left 4 Dead's new expansion comes out October 5^th. I for one cant wait to play the old survivors with melee weapons against new Special Infected. Follow the link here for more details. Also dont forget to check out the comic. The link for that is in the SexyDaily 5 post.  

• Rick Sanchez has been fired from CNN after calling the Daily Shows Jon Stewart a "bigot" later he recanted that statement and chose a similar word for Jon, he said Stewart was "prejudicial." I think this whole situation is ridiculous, Sanchez was saying things he knew to be controversial, what did he expect from CNN? Link to full story here.

• J.K. Rowling has hinted that she may want to do another Harry Potter book. Being a fan of the series I would be ok with this. She says she may end up caving to pressure that her children put on her to pen another book in the Harry Potter universe. She was also quoted as saying that it would most likely not feature Harry Potter as the main star of the book. Here is to hoping. Link here

The Short List (What I spent my day on):

• Watching about half of season 1 of Gargoyles. Nostalgia FTW!!
• Getting my old, shitty laptop fan working again. 
• Watching the newest episodes of Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother
• Happily awaiting guys night out tomorrow, and new Dexter Sunday!
