Some New TV Shows

I watched the pilot episode of the new NBC series Community, and thought it was really funny. The show did a good job quickly establishing the group of characters, their quirks, and the premise for the show. All while being funny. Jeffrey thought since it was grouped with Parks and Recreation and The Office, the show would be the Office 3. But it's not.

Speaking of which, the following two aren't brand new, but new enough.

Parks and Recreation is not that good. You can try and be patient with a show and hope it comes around, but this one has yet to capture my complete interest. The show takes the Office filming gimmick (mockumentatry) and the character gimmick (awkward, oblivious lead) and runs it into the ground. This show actually makes The Office look bad.

Sit Down, Shut Up is terrible. Some funny ideas, loosely strung together in a episode with characters that you can't relate to. That's the show. With the voice actors attached to this show, you would have expected something better. Even the animation style is annoying.

I Have Repeatedly Had This Dream

I thought it was only me.

Street Fighter 4

So I gave in and purchased Street Fighter 4. Peer pressure from Andy Lavender made me cave in.

Load times are ridiculously high, but there seems to be an option to install the data on the HD, and that's what I'm currently doing.

I played Street Fighter 2 when I was growing up like a madman. And I have a thorough mastery of that game. Street Fighter 4 is harder because you can have all these special combos that for now, I don't want to learn. Going to stick with my old school skillz, which seem to let me hang in the match.

More to come in the future, maybe. The intro to this game may be the longest intro in the history of games. And it doesn't really tell anything either.

DSI Tech'ing Tonight

Covering for Bryan tonight, and hoping to meet up with people on Franklin St. tonight.

Water, Water Everywhere and ... Sharks!

For the 4th, Jen and I visited my parents. And of course, my mom wanted to take Jen to all the touristy places at once. Luckily, I convinced them to slow down and only do one thing. We went to the Georgia Aquarium. We also paid for the extra movie. I use the term movie loosely, as it was more like flushing five dollars per person down the toilet. After the aquarium, we went to Bahamas Breeze, which is my favorite new restaurant. It may just have been that I was starving, but the BBQ ribs were amazing. The BBQ sauce has guava.

On the actual 4th, we went to the Vlachos household where I realized a life long dream of getting paid to play cornhole.
