neurological dryer lint

wow, the office is empty today. guess thats what i get for working from home yesterday. cally had a good idea with the GnR yesterday, so i fired up some myself and it was marvelous. You Could Be Mine, such an underrated song. how can you not think of john connor tearing around on his little moped deal with the kid from diff'rent strokes?

btw, bravo to robert patrick in walk the line as johnny cash's dad. he's still a little too creepy to pull off redneck, though, even fifteen years after T2 (and the x-files stint).

yesterday saw some intriguing new PSP titles that i'm kind of stuck on. while i've heard that katamari damacy (katahada damahoocha?) is the sleeper hit of the decade, i haven't played it myself, and so i don't know if the PSP version me and my katamari will be entertaining. honestly it seems like a colossally stupid concept but enough writers that i respect have expressed positive feelings about it - heck there are homebrew t-shirts and customized checks and whatnot - that it sounds like it's worth a try.

we also got daxter, and i never played any of the jax & daxter games for the PS2. again, reviews say this one is a quality platformer, very enjoyable, so maybe it's worth the risk? although they also said coded arms was good.

then there's the capcom classics collection, which i would pick up for strider if i thought i'd play it for more than five minutes. i think i'm about done with arcade classic collections for a while.

side note - the godfather? i can't believe this game would be good at all simply because it's based on a movie and 95% of them are awful. is it GTA with some marlon brando voiceovers? it's been hyped for like a year now. metareviews look okay.

there's also worms: open warfare, which apparently is great when playing with other people, but sucks in single player mode. renee's birthday is next week, but i don't think she's craving a PSP. although lemmings is coming soon, one of her favorites...

maybe i should give gamefly a try. anyone got any experience with them? i can't imagine getting new releases will be anything different than getting them from netflix - long waits due to low supply.
