The day that never ends….

I just have a feeling that today will be one of those days that never ends. We are going to go see ‘Avenue Q’ this evening, so that will be fun….but it’s only 10 and it feels like I’ve been here for 12 hours already. And it will only get worse since the only co-worker I can stand to talk to is off today….  It makes you wonder if Einstein, Sagan, and Hawking aren’t right that the earth could be getting pulled into a black hole and we’d never know it because as we are accelerated to the speed of light and torn atom from atom, time would slow and all but stop without us ever knowing it….maybe time is stopping and tomorrow will never come, but we would never know it….creepy….but then again, why would that effect my day? unless some people are just more sensitive than others….like how I can just tell when the deer are active, but I can’t hear my wife from across the room….how I can tell that the weather is changing, but don’t’ realize that there’s someone standing right behind me while I type this….Hi, now go away, I’m busy…. it’s my break I can type what I want…no I’m not forwarding you a link….really, go away…..ANYWAY~ tonight will be fun. My sister is coming into town for it…. I’m not sure if she’s doing it to see the family or just because she wants to see the show….either way we have really good balcony seats at the Hershey Theater so even if the show is poor, we’ll have a great view of it.

Well, I played the Halo Wars Demo last night….and it’s good….I’m not going to call it great but I would give it a solid 8 out of 10. my main issue with it is the bases, I like to build my own base, set up the defenses the way I like it, not have to worry about only being able to build ‘X’ number of power plants or only being able to build ‘X’ number of buildings in general….and the cap on the number of units is nice that it stops you from getting wiped out my a mini-gunner rush, but when I’m attacking another base nad have to wait for my guys to die before I can build one unit to fight off the one flamethrower team that snuck in the back and is currently burning the crap out of my base….the AI seems ok, I’m not sure it’s up to par with command and conquer…the don’t seem to send out patrols, or defend their bases very well….and I’m a bit concerned about the balance of the units abilities….I built one massive air unit…thing….and 2 Spartans and took out an entire base, turrets, and defending units with just them, and 0 casualties…I get the feeling that the multiplayer will be little more than a race to build those units.
So over all…I’m still on the fence as to buy it or rent it.

For you I would say rent and spend your money on other games that will be coming out. You rememeber that damn big list. Yeah that one has probably something else that would be a must buy over this game for you.
