    I just had 2 poptars and a monster energy drink for lunch. And soon it will include another cigarette.

    I'm going to die before I hit 30 most likely.

    I really can't wait for this season of Heroes. Last year really sucked for TV. Thanks, writers guild.

    Fixed for non-shitty shows.

    You took out house and the office and put in HEROES??!??!!? as a non shitty show? I take it you haven't read season 3 spoilers.

    House is a terrible show. It treads water entirely on the power of Hugh Laurie's personality.
    Office pales in comparison to the BBC version.
    And no I haven't read season 3 spoilers.

    I was kinda looking forward to Season 3 of Heroes because we'll have actual supervillains now. What are some of these spoilers?

    House may be the most formulaic show on television, this much is true. But you recognize why it's worth watching but mention it as a detraction?

    1) Maybe. But we're talking about Hugh Laurie here!
    2) Maybe. But even so you're comparing it to...
    3) ... season 2 Heroes?

    Oh, Hugh Laurie is never a detraction. I could watch Hugh Laurie reading names out of the phone book and be entertained.

    It's just that everything else about the show is terrible. It's Hugh Laurie swimming in a big pool of television shit.

    So I used to play SoulCal on the DreamCast a whole lot with my then-roommate. I just bought SoulCal 4 for the 360, and while it's a much fuller and better-polished game than the original, I've been feeling like I'm kind of forcing myself to play it and trying to enjoy it. I guess issue one is that playing against the AI in a fighting game just isn't as much fun - I don't have the reflexes to respond to their moves in time, it's not really possible to guess their attack patterns, and the AI seemingly has no ability to respond to me spamming the same attack pattern over and over.

    Also, maybe fighting games feel a little anachronistic anymore. I mean, for a while around 2000, every other game was a fighting game, but today it just feels kind of disjointed and facile. Also, I know that the story in SoulCal has always been nonsensical, but now it just feels puerile. I think I'm requiring more out of a game these days.

    Maybe I'd like it better if I had someone to play against.
