So, if anyone feels like buying me something, just because… here’s something that would do nicely.

The Mac version of Star Wars: Battlefront is now shipping. For those not familiar with this game.. here’s a brief description from Aspyr’s site.

Star Wars Battlefront™ is an action/shooter game that gives fans and gamers the opportunity to re-live and participate in all of the classic Star Wars battles like never before. Players can select one of a number of different soldier types, jump into any vehicle, man any turret on the battlefront and conquer the galaxy planet-by-planet online with their friends or offline in a variety of single-player modes. Single player modes include “Instant Action,” “Galactic Conquest” and the story-based “Historical Campaigns” mode that lets gamers experience all of the epic battles from Episodes I-VI, fighting from the perspective of each of the four factions within the game

In other words.. one of the best first (or 3rd) person shooters out there! you can play either ‘side’ in the battle, choose from lots of different weapons.. and blow the snot out of the other guy! what more could you want?

If you want a second idea… the Lego Star Wars game is available for Pre-order

Found this by way of a comment over at Jodi’s place. Hilarious! More so, if you work (or have ever worked) tech support!

Ok..I know this movie came out awhile ago… but I never got a chance to see it in theater..and I just watched it via Netflix, yesterday (maybe the day before…the days just kinda blur together you know)

Anyway…its HILARIOUS! I loved it… this one is going on the list of movies to buy! In fact.. I’m going to use the iTunes Music Store Gift Card that Kael got me for Father’s day (Such a nice kid! iTMS gift card, a shirt, and a ‘Percy’ Engine (from Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends) I made out pretty good… and just think.. With Baby Vegas coming..next year I’ll get twice as much stuff..because there will be two of them…right? That’s how that works isn’t it?) to buy the soundtrack… its downloading now.. although.. Janice has told me I can’t play it while Kael is in the car with me..

I think its because of songs like this :

America, Fuck Yeah from the album “Team America – World Police” by Team America

(If I did that right…the link should take you to the iTMS)

the funny guys over at Jib Jab (they’ve made some election parody videos, ended up on the Tonight Show) have a new one..which introduces thier relationship with Budweiser Beer..and brings back Frankie and Louie!

You can see it here. Note…according to the site, you do need to be 21 to watch the video… probably so they don’t get into trouble because of some obscure, stupid, law regarding advertising beer.

Normally.. I ignore what any movie critic says about a movie I want to see… I figure their like the weatherman..the chances of them being right, are less then the chances of them being wrong.

I was reading CNN today, and came across a link to Entertainment Weekly’s review of Star Wars Episode III… and I have to wonder if the critic actually watched the movie….

Don’t read any further if you haven’t seen the movie, and don’t want anything given away…

I’m serious… stop now!!!! Possible Spoilers ahead!!!

I haven’t even been back from Vegas for a month yet.. and then I see this. I mean.. how fair is that? They couldn’t have put those out a month ago when I was in Vegas? Now I have to plan another vacation just so I can go play the Star Wars slots……

Shane Nickerson (hollywood guy..currently working with Cameron Diaz on her new show Trippin’) had a recent entry in his Blog, about the National Enquirer showing up on his doorstep with ‘photographic’ proof he was having an affair with Cameron. Go read the entry…its actually a fun, entertaining read (I particularly enjoyed Wil Wheaton’s response)

Based on what’s in the entry, and knowing how tabloids are..I’m inclined to agree that the affair is just bullshit… I just want to know why I never get accused of sleeping with someone famous?

Hey.. Enquirer, Star.. and whatever other tabloids are out there.. I’m sleeping with Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Keira Knightly, Natalie Portman, ummmm…. Julia Roberts… ummm… the chick that plays T’Pol on Star Trek: Enterprise.. Jorja Fox, Angelina Jolie, Amanda Tapping, Amy Allen, and I think thats it.. really.. I am.. we have giant slumber parties every weekend..

But do me a favor.. confront me at work… Janice doesn’t know about the affairs =)

(you think they’ll believe me and come confront me with photographic evidence now?)

This past Friday (the 13th) UPN aired the Series Finale of Star Trek: Enterprise.. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet..its on the TiVo though..so I hope to be able to see it this weekend… It sucks that Paramount has killed off the Trek franchise due to bad scheduling…

This is the first time in ages that there hasn’t been a first-run Trek series being aired.. so if you like Trek.. you’re stuck with repeats and buying the show/seasons you like on DVD…

So.. I just got back from the early screening of Episode III – Revenge of the Sith… and I think I can sum it up nicely…

WOW!!!!!

I won’t talk too much about what actually happens in the movie… so as not to spoil it for everyone who didn’t go see it a week early…

by this time next Thursday (May 12th)… I’ll be just getting out of an early showing of Star Wars: Episode III.

No, George Lucas did not hook me up with tickets to a big premier somewhere… its a charity event, I briefly mentioned it here. I gave in..ordered my tickets.. I figure.. I get to see Episode III a week early, and some kids get help with some stuff (boy..you can tell I did a lot of research on the charity sponsoring the event huh?)..and..I get to write the whole night off as a charity next year when I file my taxes..so..its almost like getting to see it for free!
