This is a great site. They frequently update with made-up superheroes that defeat the prior hero. Start at the first hero and work forward through time to see the battle as it wages on.

You’ll still be in newspapers
How fucked up is that?

Recently I decided that it’s time to up my Gamerscore for my Xbox 360.

I purchased a few games on eBay to help me in my endeavor. They are:

• Fight Night Round 3 (achievements)
• NBA 2k6 (achievements)
• King Kong (achievements)

I’ve won a couple belts in Fight Night so far - that game is tougher than I thought it would be after playing the demo. I like the controls though - feels pretty nice being able to throw a hook and simulating that action on your analog joystick. So far I’ve only unlocked 3 of the 8 achievements but I’m getting on a roll now, usually knocking opponents out in the second or third round. Parrying and blocking for that matter takes a while to get down.

I’m still waiting to receive the other games but looking at NBA 2k6’s achievement list, I’m hoping I can snag all of them in a single game or two and then keep the $10 game for some good local 4-player action. King Kong is one of the games I considered buying at launch, but from hearing that the game only plays 5-8 hours I couldn’t justify the $60. $20 is more reasonable. Thanks eBay.

I’m also working through GRAW and Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 06 (can’t wait for the ‘07 version to ship in less than a month now). I’ve had my character maxed out in Tiger ‘06 for quite a while now, but I just haven’t played online against the kids that shoot in the low 40’s for 18 holes. Hopefully the 2007 version of the game cuts back on such ridiculous scoring.

Other games I’ve recently bought but haven’t unlocked many achievements in include Table Tennis, Dead Rising, and Dead or Alive 4. The achievements take forever to get in Project Gotham Racing 3 and Perfect Dark: Zero, otherwise I may actually be tempted to play those games offline.

Table Tennis is way harder than it feels like it should be. It is a great 1v1 game but playing against computer opponents makes me look like an ass. Dead Rising is a great game that is going to take a ton of time to work through. I’m not sure I’ll ever get many more achievements in DoA4 because of the time required - who wants to work their way through a fighter multiple times with the same character just to unlock a new costume anyways?

I just got back from ACEN and have posted a new photo set on Flickr. This time I brought my little brother along to introduce him to some of the crazies that show up at these conventions. We actually made it to the concert this year by TsuShiMaMiRe which was better than I thought it’d be. The girls were pretty cute - attempting broken English between their songs trying to get the crowd going. Other than that the convention was pretty much the same we’ve always seen. Smelly people, dudes who should be wearing shirts, ladies wearing little-to-nothing, smelly people, and a whole weekend of nothing but pizza.

I’ve been listening to the Glenn Beck Program on our local FM talk radio channel (98.3 WOW FM) for quite a while now and it has easily become my favorite talk show. He’s on from 10am-1pm so I usually catch 10-20 minutes while driving over lunch. He’s also on XM Radio channel 166 XM Radio channel 165 from 8am-11am (which I can’t pick up in the steel office building I work in unfortunately). The show mixes politics and humor, but usually with less politics and more humor.

Glenn just announced his new TV show is airing on Headline News on May 8th. I think this means that CNN will actually have something on worth watching. He’s played clips and has eluded to what the TV show will be like and it sounds like it will be pretty damn funny.

In other Glenn Beck news, the Mid-Life Crisis Tour has a scheduled stop in Des Moines on June 13th, with tickets going on sale May 8th. There really aren’t many details about the show, but from what I’ve heard about the Christmas show he does, it sounds like it’d be fun show to see.

I’ve made a few wallpapers, specifically for my dual display setup at work (two 1280×1024 displays). Here are some of my favorite wallpapers that span both displays:

A mentally handicapped friend of mine has created a couple sites, which you should add to your company’s website filter immediately.

They are:

• Insane Civic Posse
  A site dedicated to both Insane Clown Posse and a Honda Civic Si that he no longer owns. Warning: heavy abuses of Microsoft FrontPage are here.
• dot dada dot dot . com
  He still lets us know how genius he was for thinking up this domain that it took me 10 minutes to remember how to spell. Be sure to check out his bowling team page.
