And with the weekend coming up, remember bj’s don’t count

I’m sorry, OK? I don’t know what I did to deserve this punishment. Any offense I have caused was purely unintentional and the powers that be, supernatural, ordinary, or epidermal, must relent. The acne must go. At this rate, my face will consist of a field of poc marks with a nose protruding out of it by the time I’m forty. I hate to whine*, but when you can feel no less than five places for potential zits to appear in addition to the monstrous one on your chin, you need an outlet.

In all my spazzing out about Star Wars, I failed to notice that the E3 expo was taking place in LA. Ironically, some of the new games I’m most interested in playing in the coming months are actually compilations of older games. Specifically, I’m waiting for Sonic Gems Collection and Mega Man X Collection. The former features Sonic CD, supposedly the best Sonic ever made, while the latter just kicks ass. Konami announced a special edition of MGS3 which boasts an adjustable camera, so certain people can finally finish the game. The Nintendo DS has some nice stuff on the horizon, including a new Castlevania, Super Mario Bros., and Mario Kart, so my interest is piqued enough to justify picking one up in the near future.

Speaking of everybody’s favorite space opera, I attended a midnight showing as you might expect and left the theater one happy camper. Lackluster performances keep the film from reaching its full potential, but the relentless action and overwhelming drama that transpires over the course of the two hours is undeniably engrossing. And the special effects WILL amaze you as they’re almost flawless in their beauty and ambition. One particular planet really caught my eye in its all-too-brief appearance.

*This is clearly a lie. I created this blog with the express purpose of bitching about the day-to-day inconveniences in my life.
