RIP Jake
I got word from Doug that Jake passed away on the 6th of June. For those who don't know, Jake was the bassett hound we had a lifetime ago when we lived together in Enid and eventually in Edmond and Oklahoma City. While living in Enid we were visiting Oklahoma City and made the impulse purchase of Jake at a local pet store (not too long after the untimely demise of Sam I, our first beagle). He was a tri-colored basset hound (mostly black and white) with giant feet and ears that hung well to the ground. Not 24 hours after getting him home he became deathly ill and had to spend a couple days with the vet (puppy mill fever I think). After that the grumpy turd went on to live more than a decade! I'm not sure what makes me more sad, Jake's demise or the fact that my world and everything in it has changes so much in the last few years. Anyhoo Jake was a good dog that I loved as much as anything in this world and I'm terribly saddened by the news and maybe more saddened that I didn't take the time to see him the last couple of years (he stayed with Doug since I didn't have a place for him living in an apartment). From what Doug tells me Sam II the beagle (Jake's buddy and nemesis) continues to do well in his aging years. I really need to pay him a visit...

Alive and kicking!
The rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Just working a lot. My next day off is the 30th. Peace out!

Easy one, I suppose...
The poets sing how Pancho fell, Lefty's livin' in a cheap hotel
The desert's quiet and Cleveland's cold and so the story ends, we're told
Pancho needs your prayers, it's true but save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do and now he's growin' old.
What did all the federales say?

Bruce 1; World Wide Web 0
Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
Ok smarty pants, who sang the above lyrics?
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake
But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream
Ok smarty pants, who sang the above lyrics?

Hmmmmm...
You can look at the menu,
but you just can't eat.
You can feel the cushions,
but you can't have a seat.
You can dip your foot in the pool,
but you can't have a swim.
You can feel the punishment,
but you can't commit the sin.
Who sings this song?
but you just can't eat.
You can feel the cushions,
but you can't have a seat.
You can dip your foot in the pool,
but you can't have a swim.
You can feel the punishment,
but you can't commit the sin.
Who sings this song?

Here (In Your Arms)
I like where you sleep
When you sleep, next to me
I like where you sleep... here
Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here
Well you are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper's hello I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms
When you sleep, next to me
I like where you sleep... here
Cause our lips, can touch
And our cheeks, can brush
Our lips can touch here
Well you are the one the one that lies close to me
Whisper's hello I miss you quite terribly
I fell in love, in love with you suddenly
Now there's no place else I could be but here in your arms

Gamerz-Edge Rates Zelda
"This is the first game that I have ever awarded a 10 in my six years as a reviewer, and for good reason. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of the defining videogames of our time. It is unquestionably one of the finest games ever released, and it is one that any gamer should experience regardless of the circumstances."
Another perfect score! WOW! Read the review here.

Seven Tips for Camping Out for a Wii or PS3
Swiped from Gaming Out Loud:
Tip #1: Dress the Part
If you’re camping overnight for a game console, you’re clearly a nerd and you must dress for the occasion. Show up in an Ecko sweater and you will be mocked. True gaming nerds get their clothing from places like ThinkGeek or Hot Topic. If your threads don’t feature a 1UP mushroom or the Contra code, then you’re a fucking n00b and should just turn around now and go home. Remember, first impressions are everything. Do you want this ragtag group of nerdlings to think, “Oh, he’s a Hilfiger faggot” or “Daaaamn, he’s going old-school with that Strider tee!”
Tip #2: Make Friends with those at the Front
The ones who stand in the front of the line hold all the power. Most likely, these uber-nerds have been there since 5pm the night before and have already made small chat with the manager several times. They know exactly how many consoles will be available and how the whole thing will go down in the morning. That information is priceless.
Tip #3: Bring a Handheld System
Nothing gives you more insta-cred than whipping out a DS lite while waiting for the sun to rise. Not only does it validate your nerdocity, but it can be a great way to spark conversations with others.
“Hey, is that DS lite?”
“Yes.”
Isn’t that amazing? That right there has bonded you two for life.
Tip #4: Don’t Be Yourself; Make Yourself Seem Intriguing!
Let’s face it; you’re standing in front of an EBgames at 2am on a Saturday night waiting for the Wii. You suck at life. However, those in line don’t know that yet. They think you’re just like them; dedicated fans that just by freak accident happened to have the weekend free for the 245th week in a row.
In order to gain the respect of others, put on a façade and say things that’ll spark the interest of others around you, even if they are bald-faced lies. For example, say the following: “Ah yea, the Wii was awesome when I played it at E3 this year.”
I guarantee you that every head will turn. The nerds will feel honored to be in the presence of someone who has traveled to the Promised Land that is the Los Angeles Convention Center in mid-May. You will be a mini-celebrity and you may even get Sum Poosie out of it.
Tip #5: Turn Away as Many People as You Can
You’re there for one thing and one thing only: to get yourself a console. It is in your best interest to dissuade as many people as possible from lining up with you. While you may get a console before them, they may beat you to the accessories aisle and take the only extra nunchuck controller available.
As morning breaks, you’ll see a large inflow of people. Many will drive by in their car and ask, “Are there any left?”
Ask them if they want a PS3 or Wii. When they name their system of choice, reply, “Oh no, I heard they’re out of those. We’re all waiting for the other one.”
Dog eat dog, my friend.
Tip #6: It’s Okay to Get Violent like it’s GTA3
As the clock ticks down to the store’s opening, things will get hairy. Everyone will suddenly get quiet and the line will form up rigidly. Your friends will turn into enemies and it’s literally every man for himself. It truly is an amazing spectacle of nature.
It’s at this point that someone will try to cut the line. Now, I checked with many local authorities and I have it on good faith that it is 100% okay to shout obscenities and verbally attack that person’s appearance. If he doesn’t relent, threats of bodily harm are still okay. In fact, you are even allowed to graze his skin with a dagger under six inches in length. Do not let this pigfucker get ahead of you.
Tip #7: Be Gracious in Victory OR Defeat
When the manager emerges from the store, he’ll most likely be handing out some sort of ticket that guarantees you a console. Depending on that store’s allotment and how early you got there, you may or may not get one. No matter what happens, take the resulting proceedings with pride and class.
Ah, who am I kidding?! If you get a ticket, flaunt it like it was the final piece of the Triforce. Tell the guy behind you who didn’t get one that you’ll sell yours for $50. When he agrees, say “SYKE!!” and laugh in his stupid, pitiful face.
If you didn’t get a ticket, remind everyone ahead of you that they’re sexless nerds for getting there earlier than you. Tell the losers near the end of the line to enjoy their crippled 20GB PS3. Walk away backwards, double-flippin’ them the bird. Then proceed to sob privately in your car.
Conclusion
While this list may be missing a thing or two, these tips alone are an invaluable resource for surviving the night. The most important thing to always remember is that no matter what, you MUST get a console on day one or else your validity as a true gamer will be questioned. If you don’t get a launch PS3 or Wii, all respect is lost for you. Enjoy your LeapFrog, asshole.
