"Ok, let's say we clear out this warehouse and had an enormous cage match...

.....and in it we had Darth Vader fighting against Superman, who would win?"

This is a question that was posed to a few of us at work today by a fellow employee. Though it was one of the many insanely busy days that have cursed / blessed us of late, we still had a brief moment of levity sneak in.

Of course I went with my man, Vader. The reaction was one of disgust and disappointment from the Superman supporters. I defended my answer with the obvious reason. Sure, Supes is the "Man of Steel" but Vader has crushed steel with a flick of his Dark Force enhanced wrists. As soon as Supes would land and do his patented, big chested boyscout pose, Vader would twist him up in a gruesome pile of flesh and bone with nary a thought......

Dear Jebus, it was stupid conversation. Yet, it was still very welcomed to have that slight geeky break in the middle of a very monotonous day. Work has been wearing me down lately and I am very happy it is the weekend.

I'll be finding myself dog, cat and house sitting this weekend. And you can bet I'll be fully equipped with the ol' '360, some beer and some nice cigars to enjoy out on the patio that is at the home. They're anticipating some very nice weather after these thunderstorms that have been lingering for the last day pass.

I really love thunderstorms. As a child a nighttime thunderstorm was terrifying. These days they seem to lull me to sleep.

Ok, this post is getting a bit ADD. On to some geekyness...


I recently picked up the action RPG Two Worlds and find myself already deeply entrenched in it.

It's not a great game by a long shot. The graphics are sub par for the current generation of game system. A lot of the visuals are repetitive. The map / quest log system can be downright frustrating. The voice acting is on the same level as Kevin Costner as Robin Hood. When it was first released it was promoted as being the "Oblivion Killer" and missed that mark by a long, long shot!

But, for some reason, I find myself playing it for blocks of several hours. Perhaps it's because the game system takes me back to the days of discovering the first Diablo. It's that quest-hack-pillage-upgrade game play that makes it work. The storyline involving your character's missing sister is quite compelling also. The world itself is quite vast and does have some changes in scenery. When your character heads into to Southern lands beyond the great river you'll find yourself in marshes, bogs and swamps. Venture even farther south and the sky turns blood red. A little Oblivion influenced me thinks. Silly as the game may be, it's still addictive as nicotine!

I'm calling it here. It's been quite the week and Old Man Zangz is going to catch a little shut eye.

G'night folks!
