Order of the Phoenix and the not-so jolly green giant

Well I read the new Harry Potter book this weekend. Wow, another great book in the series. I already can't wait for the next book in the series. The only thing I can find to complain about is that once I started reading I couldn't stop.

The Incredible Hulk was very good. I was not expecting it to be any good at all. I kept hearing people say negative things about the lack of action, bad animation, etc... But, what I found was a pretty good comic book adaptation. I think I might actually like this one better than Spider Man.

Planetside

I have been playing PlanetSide almost every night since I bought it. What a fun game. Everquest was getting very frustrating as I gained in levels. Planetside does not suffer from that problem as far as I can tell. Its so easy to just jump in and have fun without getting concerned over details. I give it two thumbs up.

ClayMation

Last night we attended a discussion on Claymation at the Matthews Public Library. The presentation was given by John Lemmon of John Lemmon Films. I had no idea there was a animation company right here in Charlotte. The whole thing lasted only an hour, but I still managed to learn a few things. Stuff like this always gets me interested in doing more art.

What is the Matrix?

I have now seen The Matrix Reloaded twice. All I can say without spoiling anything is WOW! I really liked it.

I'm looking forward to getting PlanetSide tommorrow. I have been playing the Beta for the last week or so and I liked it alot. I don't know if it will have the power to keep me interested for a couple of years like Everquest, but so far I enjoy the faster pase.

It was the dawn of the 3rd age...

We got the second season of Bablyon 5 on DVD yesterday. I know I have said it before but man this is a great Science Fiction Series.

I am now 70 percent complete in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. I have completed all the major storyline missions. I have 98 out of 100 packages, and I own all of the properties in the game. Not much of an accomplishment, but one of the things I can do now in the game is too get the Hunter Helicopter from the Military base. Its way too much fun to fly around blowing up cars and pedestrians.

I can't wait for the new X-Men movie this weekend. I was never a follower of the comic books, but all of the cartoons and movies have been great. I think I might have to check out some of the comics.
