Posted on April 15, 2009 by Joel

My other redeemed-rewards-points PS3 game arrived today: Killzone 2.  I installed it this evening, but I haven’t had an opportunity to play it yet.  Too many other things to do around here than to play videogames.  I have played the … Continue reading →

Made of Honor (2008)

Posted on March 29, 2009 by Joel

So we watched Made of Honor Friday night, borrowed from a friend. First of, I want people to know that we had low expectations. Turns out, it was even worse than I imagined.  Formulaic to say the least, but the … Continue reading →
