Master Biscuit

I probably should have saved this for later in the week, but I wanted to post on it before I forget all about it. Time magazine has released their coolest inventions of 2003 list, and they are indeed quite cool. I know this is a bit out of place, perhaps, for a video game website, but I, for one, have always appreciated the James Bond car that could turn into a boat! At the top of the window, under the COOLEST INVENTIONS 2003 banner, you'll see the categories, including Light + Dark, Transportation, etc. Hover your mouse over them to see the other features. It's pretty cool. Light and Dark houses a real camoflauge suit, which is not as cool as the military version, but is still quite cool regardless.

Maybe I should comment on that "video game website" crack. This is intended to be an entertainment website, and a roadster that turns into a boat is indeed entertaining. Hey, so was Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Wonderful movie, definitely worth seeing. I think my roommate made it for me, most of all. You've all seen the commercials, where the Brits board the enemy ship. When they do so, all the bad guys are lying down, pretending (obviously) to be dead. Scott, in the dead silence of the theater, Ackbars out "IT'S A TRAP!" Fucking priceless.

Now, I have to study for a test, or...something. While I'm gone, somebody go and buy me Final Fantasy X-2. Do what I said, 'cause I said it.

An IM worth sharing:

JT: Wow. Of 22 hours of primetime TV this week, six hours will be Law and Order or a derrivative. And 5 hours will be CSI or CSI: Miami. That's HALF.
Don: ...
Don: How long has it been since you've slept?
JT: A day and a half?
JT: Why do you ask?
Don: No fucking reason.
