I've been chillin'.  Actually slept all day Thursday to get my internal clock back into the work grind.  Yeah, Christmas threw me pretty hard, I hate getting up in the morning for short work days.  Evidently, it's going to happen more on Mondays.  Whatever, I work Sunday nights so I can work, sleep, eat, work just fine.  It's work, sleep, eat... do nothing but game for hours while working on reviews, work, sleep, work, sleep, work... Those are messed up!

Buying food at work, in this case, a grocery store, sucks.  I buy a ton of junk food.  I need to tone down, seriously, to save money for Tekkoshocon.

YES, I'm still going to that convention!  I can't wait.  I have a couple crazy things being worked on to enjoy pulling off when I'm there.  The Twitchblade people are planning shenanigans.  I hear other awesome people are showing up, maybe some Flash artists? Hmm? Just throwing that out there.

On the review side: Dammit, I might have to buy Skate 2.  The demo is off the hook, I've been messing around with the Xbox 360 one for a few days now, and it's simply stunning.  The changes make the game more realistic to some things that were missing, but keeps it simple still, which is the whole point of Skate's system.  The Hall of Meat side-game makes for a "Burnout" quality of fun added to the mix.  The magazine shoots remain, and are just as fun, and now, we can make our own lines by moving certain obstacles!  Totally awesome idea, that makes those videos just a bit crazier to watch.  EA keeps listening, which is a shock, because years ago, they wouldn't.  Lovin' it.  For those people saying "But Ponza, what about the PS3?", I'm downloading that demo as I type, so no worries.

Also:  Street Fighter IV Tournament FightSticks are in so high demand, Mad Catz has to make a ton more.  THEY BETTER!  I want two of those sweet wireless sticks!  Sanwa sticks are so awesome!  I wish I had an arcade stick....

Now if you guys excuse me, I have some breakfast to eat.
