"Do not bring your evil into my swamp.

Norwegian TV shows David Letterman weeks after the original broadcast, so tonight I'm watching Bruce Willis sit in for Dave. Okay, so it sucks to get the show so late, but hey, better than not getting it at all. The glass is, I believe, half full. Yup, I'm irritatingly positive - the kind of guy you'd want to smack if you're feeling a bit down.

Bought Shenmue II and Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball yesterday - the latter of which I have to admit I'm a bit embarrassed about buying. It got great reviews, and it's a fun game, but it's also a bit...cheesecake. Amazing graphics that just happen to revolve around half-naked girls. Literally. Parts of the game are just about controlling the camera as the girls do such exciting things as sunbathe, walk down the beach, or sit on a swing.

Yeah. Embarrassing.

But still, still, there's something to the game that's strangely compelling (and not just the breasts and the bikinis). It's got a great volleyball engine, cool casino games, a weird jumping game, and the collecting-stuff aspects of the game are highly addictive. You just wanna catch 'em all (even if "'em all" in this case refers to skimpier and skimpier bikinis...sigh).

So, excuse me, but I think I need to return to the beach, and, uh, play for a bit...yes.  ¶ 23:02
