How to get a $1550 discount on a flat-panel TV

Filed under: Uncategorized — mayoff @ 9:22 pm

Step 1. Own a TV stand that takes about 7.75 square feet of floor space.
Step 2. Buy a house for $200 per square foot.
Step 3. Buy a flat-panel TV and mount it on the wall.

You have now reclaimed approximately $1550 worth of square footage.

(No, I haven’t bought a new house yet.)

David Plays Guitar Hero

Shadow of the Colossus: Excellent. It’s longer than Ico, with more action, and just as beautiful and intriguing.

Ratchet: Deadlocked: Disappointing. They kind of phoned it in on this installment, I think. The story was virtually non-existent. I didn’t find the weapons to be as entertaining. Maybe I’m just getting tired of this series. I haven’t tried the multiplayer support.

SSX On Tour: Satisfying. The snowboarding gameplay is largely the same as in SSX3 (except for the ubertrick system), but on a new set of runs. I haven’t tried skiing yet.

Guitar Hero: Satisfying. Almost excellent. The guitar controller makes it easy for non-video-gamers to get into this game. However, for the hardcore gamer this game falls short of Dance Dance Revolution. DDR has an extensive practice mode, and GH desperately needs a similar mode.
