Late night...

So it's 4:32 AM in Tokyo, and man do I wish I could go to sleep. I seem to have this problem going to sleep where I'll lay down and then all of a sudden I'll get distracted by something and then eventually be wide awake. I think to myself, "why waste your time trying to fall asleep when you could be multi-tasking and getting things accomplished while you're waiting to get tired and pass out only to wake up in a puddle of drool". Okay, so maybe I don't actually think all that, but the part about getting things done instead of wasting time sounds about right.

Since I've been getting pissed off at Dead Rising, I decided to switch things up and play Conan. Think of all those movies from the '80's with Arnold the Governator. Now forget about everything related to that except the barbarian part. That's the game we're talking about, except more nudity. See the picture? Imagine the other side of the woman he's trying to free. Let's just say she's got a big "personality".

Basically the game consists of Conan, being the barbarian that he is, knocking over some statue expecting to find treasure and instead passing out and waking up only to find all his armor missing only to be stolen by a powerful black wizard guy that's hell bent on taking over the world and in the process gave your armor to all these giant monsters that can't even wear them anyway yet they somehow give them magical powers. Wow, that last sentence is wrong on so many levels... Did I mention that the wizard guy gave magical powers to all these pieces of armor? You know, if I was the bad guy in this story I would have just FORGOT ABOUT THE ARMOR and infused magical power goodness in the monsters. That way, if they happened to lose to lets say... A FUCKING BARBARIAN, you wouldn't have to worry about said Barbarian traipsing (that's walking around, but more ghei) around cutting up your minions with added magical raping powers. But hey, that's just me...

In other news, or lack thereof, there are officially no good shows on TV. Sure I have Lost, but that's every Friday (Tokyo, remember?) and in between then I have "picking my nose" time. Seeing as how I use the internet to ... *cough* download anything I want, I decided to watch whatever the hell is on. So for the last couple of weeks I had taken it upon myself to watch new episodes of The Simpsons and recently King of the Hill. The Simpsons is pretty bad. I guess it's one of those shows they should have just stopped along time ago. They are trying way too hard on these new ones. Seeing as how I'm from Texas, King of the Hill doesn't really get old. I think the format is just too simple and they've got too many angles to play before it gets stale.

I unexpectedly heard some good TV related news today. I heard from a reliable source (friend who knows how to use the internet...) that Prison Break was picked up for a new season.
In case you haven't been watching it, season 3 was cut short due to the writer's strike and it was looking like it was being canceled after this season. So if you haven't watched it, then get in gear and download all the episodes. Legally of course... (I'm looking at you Amy)
