So the PS3 launches soon. Very soon. I'm still afraid of getting mugged on the way out of the store for some reason. All those Xbox360 horror stories, I guess. Though I think I'm more afraid of being offered a lot of money for it. If someone flashed 2000 bucks at me or something ridiculous like that, I don't know what I'd do. I want to play it more than anything, but for enough money, I'd give my left testicle.

I already have my copy of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance. It's sitting at home, in all its blu-ray glory, being worthless until I have my Sony: Ultimate Playstation to play it on. I'm probably going to pick up Resistance: Fall of Man as well, and definitely at least one extra controller.

I'm gonna see how many account names I can snag that I know will be popular since they're free. Is that malicious?

So I've picked up the World of Warcraft card game now. It's actually really fun. I'm already certified with UDE for my rules knowledge. Now I just need someone to play with...

PS3 in a month and a half!

PSM3 has a hands-on look of the thing. It's really real! I won't have an HDTV to play it on when I first get it. That's gonna blow. I should be able to get one by the end of December though. I hope.

I just really hope it lives up to the hype I've built up for it. With Ultimate Alliance and White Knight Story and MGS4 and FFXIII and RE5, I don't see how it can't... but you never know. This is a console we're talking about, in a day and age where disappointment is an industry standard. I think I'll be okay though. At least when I get the TV for it.

On a side note, Vs. tournament on Sunday, and mc chris concert the following Friday. Noice.

VS System Pro Circuit Qualifier

I'm getting more and more involved in this stuff. My main reason for going isn't even to play in the tournament, but to become a UDE member so I can take the tests and become a certified game judge and tournament host. Oh, and a game demonstrator.

Plus, who knows, I might win $250. That could buy a lot of cards...

Can anyone tell me the Stardate numbering convention? How is the time measured? How long is 0.1 Stardate? Is it based on the universe's apparent rotation/expansion? Is it relative to Earth? On that train of thought, how is it that every alien encountered is completely familiar with hours/minutes/days? These are all Earth concepts. Or maybe it's just a storytelling device, being that hearing an alien say "You have fourteen thruklars to comply!" would be ridiculous. Plus, you'd need another 5 minutes of airtime to watch the crew scramble through their galactic almanacs to find how long a "thruklar" is; "Two seconds? Fuck!"

I want to be a space captain. But that probably won't be an option for another 1.578 gigathruklars.

Well, here's my first personal blog entry. Just kinda testing this out, making sure everything works okay.

Also, I saw GamerZ at Fantastic Fest last night. God it was hilarious, especially being a D&D nerd myself. Plus, I love the Scottish.
