Lights....Camera....

It's almost time for "The Movies" from Activision to come out. Just one more week to go! :)

This...Is...Hollywood.

I've found a new addiction...and it hasn't even released yet. "The Movies" from Lionhead Studios (makers of Black & White) is set to be released on November 8th. After more than 2 years in development, this game is looking really cool. Combining character building and control a la "The Sims" with a tycoon style building/management game a la "Roller Coaster Tycoon" with a movie production engine a la "Windows Movie Maker", this game is looking really sweet.

Close...

I was in the Arathi Basin Battlegrounds again tonight in World of Warcraft. Ran it 3 times straight...and we WON EACH TIME! WOOT! But we can't really say it was an all-out win. All three games were progressively closer together. The first time we won by about 200 points. The second game we won by only 60 points. The third game our lead was down to just 50 points apart! All very close and VERY EXCITING! Right up to the end either side could have won! Definately going back in tomorrow night! It's addicting! ;P

WoW Beatings

I don't think I've posted this anywhere on here yet, but I became addicted to the game World of Warcraft (WoW) a few months ago. After an on-again, off-again relationship, I've finally reached 60 with my main character, and have 7 alts at various stages.

But now I've discovered the Battlegrounds (BGs). Specifically, I've become hooked on Arathi Basin...a 15 vs 15 BG that involves capturing specific resource bases and holding them for as long as you can. As long as you hold the base, you gain resource points...working toward a goal of 2000 points. The first faction...Alliance or Horde...to reach 2000 resource points wins.

The problem is that invariably the Alliance loses. I'm not sure if we are just unbelievably disorganized or the Horde is really that good....but we always seem to lose. And I'm not talking a small loss....within a couple hundred points. I'm talking a lose that would make you ask why you ever entered the BG in the first place. 2000 points to 1200 points.... or losses where the Horde control all 5 bases at the end, incredibly accelerating their resource stock piles.

Bond goes Blond

Well, it's almost official. British Newspapers are beginning to report that Daniel Craig (below) has been selected as the sixth person to play the superspy, James Bond. He's the first blond to be assigned the role. Did anyone see his "nude" scene in Tomb Raider? Yum yum ;)

Perfection on Display

Perhaps the most beautiful desktop wallpaper in all the world? ;) ... or maybe I'm just biased.

400% Smart

I found this a fellow blogger's website, so I decided to run my own and see how I turn out. Check out my results below.

Your brain: 40% interpersonal, 160% visual, 40% verbal, and 160% mathematical!

Congratulations on being 400% smart! Actually, on my test, everyone is. The above score breaks down what kind of thinking you most enjoy doing. A score above 100% means you use that kind of thinking more than average, and a score below 100% means you use it less. It says nothing about how good you are at any one, just how interested you are in each, relatively. A substantial difference in scores between two people means, conclusively, that they are different kinds of thinkers. Matching Summary: Each of us has different tastes. Still, I offer the following advice, which I think is obvious: Don't date someone if your interpersonal percentages differ by more than 80%. Don't be friends with someone if your verbal percentages differ by more than 100%. Don't have sex with someone if their math percentage is over 200%.
