It seems the series will get a new game called Spirit Photo. However this game was only confirmed for Japan, not America. While games in the past have reached America, the more recent Fatal Frame IV was nowhere to be seen here.

Alyssa Milano Gives Birth To Son
She and her husband David Bugliari have a new son named Milo Thomas. Best of luck to them.
Government Blocks AT&T And T-Mobile Merger
As we are one step closer to monopolies in the cell phone industry, the government did a fine job today blocking a merger between AT&T and T-Mobile. It's about time we did some trust-busting.
Gov. Nikki Haley Offering Free Rides
Our awful governor got caught joking on an interview that she would personally drive anyone to the DMV that needed a ID just to vote. Well it seems that she was almost correct in her statement. She's using taxpayer money now to fund a hotline that will tell a DMV employee to pick up your butt in-case you can't get to a DMV. While in defense mode, she said this would allow Democrats to stop complaining, but in reality we just have another thing to laugh at.
My Day Yesterday
Woke up pretty late, only had about 30 mins total to get ready for work.
While getting ready for work, my mom (who works at Lowes) told me someone went to the return desk the other day and rode a lawn mower just like the one above all the way to the counter.
Work was long and boring or frustrating. I did buy my department pizza today. Good to spread some karma there.
After work I went over my girlfriend's place and we watched Bamboo Blade. We're almost finished, I'm a bit sad.
As soon as I get home my head starts to itch. Must be dandruff, never really does anything as long as I take a shower everyday. I guess all that work and driving put a toll on my hair.

Things I Like: Deal or No Deal
The gameshow was pretty big when it came out, granted it did get a bit stale after some time.
Howie Mandel was cool and annoying at the same time.
I liked when they did special episodes or bits like the Star Wars stuff.
Interesting enough, I noticed that one of briefcase girls was someone I recognized. Her name is Lisa Gleave, and she's not exactly a supermodel.
But I remember when she used to be a booth-babe for Tecmo's Dead or Alive games at E3.
Fact of the Day: Pepsi Owns More than Soda
One of the things the Soda-giant owns is the whole Lays chips brand and all their sister chips as well.
My Day Yesterday
Picked my girlfriend up from her house, she has the day off. We bought some groceries at Save-a-lot, and went the library.
Found this while we were there. Haven't watched it yet.
We did watch more Bamboo Blade, very good anime.
I mailed my copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum back in to Blockbuster By Mail. I wonder what they will send to me next?
Then I went to work, sucky day.

Radiant Silvergun Coming to Xbox Live Arcade
It will hit at least Japan on September 15th of this year. The price will be $15, and feature online play and HD graphics like most XBLA games. Even though this Sega Saturn shooter never made it out of the land of the rising sun, fans have a lot of praise for this Treasure game.
RollerCoaster Tycoon Coming to 3DS
The popular PC series is coming to the 3DS either this year or next. It will however not be a port of any game, but a new game built from the ground up. Like an actual theme park ride.
Al Bundy Gets Walk of Fame Star
Congrats to Ed O'Neil on his Walk of Fame star, Sure thousands of others have received one, but hey Married with Children was awesome.
Federal Judge Blocks Texas Abortion Law
It's seems Rick Perry and his anti-woman state house got a bit bummed with a federal judged blocked an abortion law for violating the 1st amendment. The law basically required almost all women to be shown a sonogram before an abortion would take place. For a party that claims to be against regulation of health-care, and for "freedom" they sure don't mind getting into a woman's privacy.
Woman Buys Fake iPad, Turns Out To Be a Block of Wood
A woman in Spartanburg, SC was approached by two guys in a McDonald's parkinglot probably about to go buy a case of Chicken Mcnuggets, and they asked her if she wanted to buy an iPad or a laptop computer. The men said they buy them in bulk, so this lady haggles them down from about $300 to $180, and thinking she made a good buy came home to open her box to find a piece of wood. It was at least sorta made into an iPad.

Batman: Arkham Asylum Review
So I've been enjoying this one for quite a few days now, and tonight I finished the whole shebang.
Forget any Batman game you ever played, because they're raw sewage in comparison to Arkham Asylum. Batman and company are re-imagined in a darker tone than some of the past Batman games, films, or cartoons. Kinda how like how Batman Begins, and especially The Dark Knight made the film series much better than the ones in the 90's.
Not only does Batman have all his trademark gear at his disposal, but some of the new high-tech stuff. My favorite tool was detective mode which would let you discover secrets, and see enemy forces before you even reached them. It allowed a lot of time to plan, and develop a strategy. It also has a ton of secrets. Whoever can discover all the Riddler secrets has no life.
The game has a case of getting repetitive at times, sometimes there's only so many steroid-filled thugs to beat up. However once you start to get a little bored, they throw something to mix things up. My favorite moments were that of the Scarecrow and his fear-gas. Not only were the moments very similar to that of the GameCube game Eternal Darkness, but the boss battles were pretty trippy and very dissimilar to the rest of the game.
It really is one of the best games on the Xbox 360, and easily the best Batman game ever crafted. I can't believe I waited so long to jump on the bandwagon here. Do not hesitate to pick this game up, even if you're not a Batman fan.
Score: 9 out of 10
Things I Like: Ed, Edd N' Eddy
Such a good Cartoon Network show, kinda wished they hadn't cancelled it.
The art style was a little goofy, but even goofier were the characters. I love them all even the ones with goats, braces, and pieces of wood with crayon faces.

Fact of the Day: Facebook Used To Be Only For Educated People
Facebook has changed a lot over the years, and when it was first started out it was only avaible to Harvard students and the site's creators. It eventually spread to other colleges, and finally to everyone.
My Day Yesterday
Woke up late again today, had to wake my girlfriend up for her job that started early so that messed by sleep up as a result.
Went to put my job application in at a place today, got a little pre-interview too. I hope I get a call back.
Got a decent amount of time playing Batman: Arkham Asylum. Managed to finish it after I got home from work. Fantastic game.
Work wasn't so bad tonight, managed to get a lot done.
Nintendo Announces Gold Controller Bundle For The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The bundle will feature a full motion-plus controller with a bonus music CD for just $70 which is a steal if you don't have such a controller yet. I'll probably have to pass, sounds tempting but I'm a bit broke.
Tetris Axis Announced For 3DS
Tetris has been pretty good to Nintendo over the past couple of years. Plenty of new games with online play for all of their current systems. Now it seems the 3DS is getting a Tetris as well. Tetris Axis will feature the usual stuff the other games have enjoyed such as classic mode and online play, but it will also have special 3D modes.
Sounds good to me, I really liked the extra modes in Tetris DS.
