UPDATE: The inFamous premium guide is available! I'm selling this exclusively through Lulu as I've had a lot of problems processing downloads automatically through PayPal. Enjoy!

UPDATE: The inFamous guide is complete and I'm working on a premium version, which I hope to have out by the end of June!

Working on an inFamous guide. My first new guide in over two years. Woot! It's already partially complete and posted to GameFAQs. You can now also follow me on Twitter. I'm "tweeting" my gaming sessions.

I've said a lot of bad things about the Playstation 3. I questioned its abilities. I bemoaned its excessively high price. I postulated it wasn't worth getting when a Wii + an Xbox 360 (the so-called Wii60) was a better deal with better games.

I'm sorry, Sony.

I own a PS3 now (giving me the PSWii combo) and it's freaking awesome. This Fall was to be the "build a new gaming PC". This new rig would play Fallout 3, Dragon Age: Origins and lots of other great games. But...something funny happened on the way to Newegg.com. Instead of a new PC, I ended up with a new HDTV and a PS3. I think I came out on top on this deal. Especially now Bioware has confirmed Dragon Age: Origins will come to consoles. The last coffin nail in my PC gaming days has been driven in. I'm officially a console fan-boy.

Let the hate-mail begin...

This has nothing to do with games; but, I thought I would run through the movies I actually saw this Summer. Especially since we're starting to be inundated with the DVDs. I didn't see every movie (or even every "big" movie); I'll only comment on the ones I saw. I'll rate each movie on a ten-point scale, even though I don't really think you can find 10 gradations in quality; but, anyway...In the order in which I think of them...

• Iron Man (10): One of the best movies I've seen in years. I can watch this over and over and never get tired of it. Everything about the film--led by Downey, Jr.'s acting--is spot on.
• Kung Fu Panda (9): Second-best movie of the Summer and the first Dreamworks CG film to stand up to Pixar (and win). KFP is just a really, really fun time for the whole family.
• Prince Caspian (6): I was really disappointed the spiritual part of the book was effectively neutered. Of course, the Caspian book is the second-worst of Lewis' series (Magician's Nephew is--by far--the worst) and extremely talky, so I understand why they didn't want a faithful translation. Still, the movie was more about Ben Barnes looking soulful than how the Pevensie children regained their faith.

So…Brett Favre retires. EA names Brett Favre the cover athlete for Madden '09. Brett Favre un-retires and reveals himself as a petulant prima-donna who wants out of Green Bay as fast as possible. Brett Favre eventually ends up playing for another team and is exposed as a washed-up QB who makes bad decisions. OK, that last part hasn't happened yet; but, the Madden Curse lives and you can bet it will happen.

If you're not familiar with the Madden Curse, you can read more about it on Wikipedia.

In short, I'm tired of the hullabaloo around Favre and think the Packers should tell him to come to camp and sit on the bench. At least that would protect him from the Curse.

(There. That's my anti-Favre rant cleverly described as something to do with gaming.)

Update: Favre is off to the Jets. Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Yep. The Madden Curse is going strong.
