Where the hell did this Zanzarah thing come from, Germany? I never know what you guys are going to do next. For the uninitiated, Zanzarah is a 30/30/30 combination of Magic: The Gathering, Quake One, and Pokemon. The remaining ten percent acts as a reservoir for cream. It's nuts, and the production values (especially on some of this audio!) are through the roof. I had a hell of a lot of fun with the demo, although I'm not sure if they had me in mind when they made it. Playing a girl who captures fairies in a magical forest is not something I would tell my psychologist I spent my weekend doing.

To help people get their Afterburners installed, we're offering (free of charge) this handy addendum to the manual. I'm not saying you aren't capable of it, I mean, shit, we did it. But to get everything absolutely perfect would require an act of God in my opinion, and as I've gone into already, I'm agnostic.

In a concept that appears to be strung together from every game fantasy I've ever put in a post, this whole "Savage" thing really has me going. There is information available on it at both GameSpy and Gamespot - but in a nutshell, we're talking about an RTS/FPS hybrid. Ooooh!

HI

Here is a quick update to let you know that I don’t care if you didn’t like Episode II, that’s your own goddamned problem. Stop filling my mail box with your inane crap. So you think the acting was shitty and the story was stupid and the romance was lame blah blah blah. I don’t care. How about you type out your four paragraph letter to me exposing Episode II for the shoddy piece of cinema that it is but then instead of hitting send you hit delete and just pretend you sent it to me. Okay? Is it a deal you retards? Great, thanks.

A week or so ago, I mentioned that you could get your mitts on a beta of the Neverwinter Nights tools - all you had to do was pre-order, which any sentient being has already done.

Check this out - Monkey and I saw Episode II on a system like that, and if you can possibly wrangle it, I'd recommend you see it (or see it again, perhaps) on a digital screen. That shit be mad crisp. It was like they had a gigantic monitor in the theater.

I cried during Episode II.

I saw the greatest Ad Council banner ever the other day on Planet GameCube, and I just wanted to share it with everyone. Sublime!

Extra flavour.

The latest strip is up. Coolest Dad ever? By comparison, my own father is like a drunken, toothless hobo gumming a hot dog.

Oooooooh.

Hot damn. I'd definitely watch that again, and not out of some twisted sense of Star Wars loyalty, either.

Some of you may remember back in March I mentioned that Kara had purchased a very special anniversary gift for me. I was to be the proud owner of a Hyper 64 mother board. Well the package never came and after some unsuccessful attempts to resolve the situation with the post office I had basically given up all hope. Today as we were heading out the door one of my neighbors came by with a package for me. He told me it had been delivered to his place by accident back in March and he had just forgotten about it. Well I opened it up and I’ll be damned it it wasn’t my Hyper 64.

Okay, one more thing: Brenna got the rest of her tattoo, which you can see here at the Monkeycams. On a scale of Hot to Super Hot, I'm going to call this one a "God Damn."

Just got this in my mail.
