A great traveling site and a real community, with ideals like generosity and trustworthiness. This is the type of social web that I can get with. Try asking your myspace friends if you can stay with them for a few days.

I always have to qualify my disappointments, my many, many disappointments with Microsoft, with certain compliments, like Xbox LIVE is still better than PC or playstation online gaming, once you’re in it just works.
But it’s still as if they make it as hard as possible. You can’t just have an xbox live card, you must [...]
Pandorum, District 9 and Stargate Universe - We got serious, hardcore science fiction this year and I’m thankful.
Dexter, Californication, Party Down and True Blood - These shows have been excellent this year. We got mythic serial characters this year and I’m thankful.
Redbelt - This is a very serious movie whose ideals I seek to live [...]

By the counter in the game, I’ve played two solid days of MW2 and that’s hardly any at all compared to some. I thought I would put up a few more reasons why this game is the new standard.
Re-playability - every time I play through the spec op scenarios, they go a different way. You [...]
Bonus Number 11! Please open up more buildings in the city maps. If you have a machine gun, you can open doors to residential homes.
-Check. There are many more interiors to explore. They compromised on busting down doors by putting in many, many windows to break.

I wanted to reserve judgement before I had played the game for a week, but now I am prepared to say it. This game is off of the scale. It is so entertaining it makes me weep thinking about how many hours of my life I will be able to spend playing it.
Call of Duty [...]
The maps, oh, the beautiful maps. They are huge. There is much cover and tall grass and many, many multi-level buildings. There are more places to hide than you can shake a stick at.
The kill bonuses, oh, the kill bonuses. The stealth bomber. The harrier. The sentry gun.
The new perks system.
The new guns. The emblems. [...]
Last week, I found myself bored at the video rental store, tired of just about every kind of movie or game I could have possibly rented. You know the feeling, when you’ve seen every episode of The Wire, Doctor Who, Deadwood and Arrested Development at least twice and all of the movies out there suck [...]
I was reluctant to play Saints Row 2 and probably wouldn’t have if Zero Punctuation hadn’t said it was the best of 2008, saying something like ‘if you want to be a grandmother running over bastard then this game will allow you to be that person.’
I have to enthusiastically agree, SR2 has allowed me to [...]
This game is almost totally unredeemable, but I’d prefer to start with the reasons it is ultimately redeemable.
First of all, it tries something new and executes it professionally. Anyone who worked on the game should be proud of their accomplishments. Ripping off the car doors to use as cover, the aggro system and the ‘back [...]
