Blacklight: Tango Down is a fast-paced FPS based in a new fictional universe called Blacklight. The game's near-future setting is brought to life with disturbingly detailed and old-world architecture dripping with modern sci-fi lighting and brightly lit advertisements, an effect that causes each environment to appear both futuristically alien as well as hauntingly familiar.

MOTD
Friday afternoon, we're going on a quick trip to celebrate ... something. It's not that anybody in our circle of friends and family is having a party. No, Haagen Dazs is having an anniversary shindig, and relatives of employees were all invited to commemorate it. Most importantly, it's a BBQ! Even though it's a four-hour drive, you don't say no to that, especially if there is another BBQ the day before! Yea, we're SO there!
Not much else going on. We watched House, Supernatural, Bones and I really need to finish watching Smokin' Aces 2. I've had it for a month or so and just can't find the courage to finish the last 10 minutes. Yawn!

While details are still scant, Call of Duty: Black Ops will take players behind enemy lines in an entirely new chapter in the first-person action series of all-time. While the previous Modern Warfare 2 installment did not have a Wii version, it seems
Black Ops will change that, while USA Today reveals that the game is set during the Cold War era with at least two main characters. Multiplayer being a big part of the franchise, Treyarch is said to be going "beyond the single-player story," with a two- to four-player co-op mode outside of the realm of the regular campaign, much like Modern Warfare's Spec Ops mode.

Believe it or not, my most esteemed Sports Illustrated Swimsuit calendar in my office has a day missing this month. May 8th, which was supposed to be last Saturday, was placed on Sunday, with Saturday being a big, blank box. Why is that important? I use it as a visual aid for daily appointments — no, really I do — and now, I had to ruin the curvaceous swimsuit model in the background with a big black marker to adjust all the dates and appointments. Outrageous!
