Peev is an XBox man. Of course, this is another reason to taunt him with the obvious superiority of the PS3.
Just keep walking, preacher-man.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

This is where it is a benefit to be married to a Game Stop manager and avowed gaming geek. We have a PS3 an XBox 360, a Wii, and various DS systems wandering about the house. Not that I give a rat's patoot about the gaming systems, but since the PS3 plays Blu-Rays, I'm willing to humor his gaming addiction.

Well, y'know I always expected to buy a PS3 & an Xbox, but the fact is that Sony cut some corners on the final internal arrangement of the cell processor and it's just not as powerful as it was originally boasted. If it was the 360 wouldn't be able to get in spitting distance of its graphics, but it can.
Anyway, on topic, the PS3 is one option for a player but some of the standalone players coming in the fall should have a better spread of features. Probably.

And I'm all of a sudden flashing back to that dinner at the Yachtsman's Steakhouse. You, Drew, and Lewis make a formidable geek trio...

I'm married to a former game shop owner, I think there's some TORG around the house.
I hate when I get TORG on my feet, but not as bad when I step on a damned Gretchin or Space Marine.

It's a cute story. I'll save it for some time in the Gaming thread...
Still hoping to see Tropic Thunder this week.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
A Veronica Mars movie? I'm not holding my breath.

Oooh, while burbling about Wes Studi over in Natter (as a biproduct of a game of FCM), I stumbled across this story at IMDB, about a sequel to Dances with Wolves, but this one possibly starring Viggo Mortensen instead of Kevin Costner. This would totally rock, especially because I remember Moriarty (from AICN), in his review of Fellowship of the Ring, saying that he thought that Viggo could have been an incredible John Dunbar (Viggo is apparently friends with Michael Blake, the writer of the book), and I completely agreed with him back then.
Although I don't know how Studi would "reprise his role" from the original film, considering his character was killed in the raid on the Lakota.
