i can’t wait for the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie to come out–it comes out July 7th (so far away). and supposedly there’ll be a 3rd one after this 2nd one, Dead Man’s Chest i loved the first one–a great blend of adventure and comedy i thought.

Microsoft just announced a HD DVD External Drive for the Xbox 360. No word if it’ll play games or just movies… More info here.

i’ve seen this sudoku game here and there but never tried it until my mom sent me a link to an online version of the number puzzle. i tried it and couldn’t put it down until i finished it. the site has 4 difficulty levels–i spent a few hours on the extremely tough “evil” level :p

finally got the better .com domain back for my website still trying to tweak/fix everything (like why it won’t save entries/templates anymore…) hopefully it’ll all be up and running shortly

lots of new interesting (to me) games have come out recently:

We Love Katamari – played it a little bit–feels just like the previous game..
Lunar: Dragon Song – still want to pick this up
Trace Memory – might get this one. looks like a mystery puzzle adventure like Myst
Burnout: Revenge – i’m currently hooked on this game. lotsa fun!
Nintendogs – i wanna get the Lab version :p

i’m going to try to start inking and coloring my sketches that have been piling up. i have 35 to ink and color… and about 5 more sketches to finish the pencils. maybe i’ll just do an all inking marathon :p

We love Katamari is coming out this week! the first one, Katamari Damacy, was super fun! all you do is roll your sticky ball around collecting items making it bigger and bigger. it’s pretty wacky in style, but fun

the Tokyo Game Show is going on right now over in Japan. there’s already been some big announcements with games and systems. some of the news coming from the show that interests me are the Xbox 360 release date (November 22nd in US), Xenosaga III for PS2 (although this has been known for a couple of months when a voice actor spilled the beans they were working on it), the crazy new remote” controller for Nintendo’s upcoming Revolution system (out sometime next year), and Katamari Damacy coming to PSP for now. i’m sure there will be more that i’m interested in once more news comes from the show.
