It's not really a surprise, but installing my
HD PVR and/or rebuild my gaming computer with the
new case did not quite happen as planned. Instead, we ran some errands, went for a walk and saw the remake of The Karate Kid, which was better than we anticipated. If you have seen the original, you can safely go watch this new version as they have changed a few minor things throughout that makes it worthwhile without changing its essence. (It should have been called "The Kung Fu Kid," but I digress ....)
Later this week, we'll be heading to Capcom and EA to check out some new titles, so keep an eye out for some goodies.
Call of Duty: Black Ops will put gamers in the boots of CIA-backed operatives that are dropped into the shadowy world of deniable operations with an expansive arsenal of weapons at their disposal.

Players begin their adventure as an angel-like guardian who is sent to retrieve a sacred tree's magical fruits, which have the power to grant wishes. Players then set off on an incredible quest with three other companions.

That was another epic snooze session ... *drool*
Last night, we watched From Paris With Love, not too bad once you get past the first 20-30 minutes, but you can tell that the part was originally written with Bruce Willis in mind, not John Travolta. We also caught up on some Rescue Me and Flashpoint.
Now that we got this day started, I'll try to make good on installing my
HD PVR and/or rebuild my gaming computer with the
new case. So ambitious ...
