I love Assassin’s Creed. Halo 3 is great. Mass Effect I haven’t opened yet, but it looks amazing. Aside from Halo 3, all the other games I need time to sit down and play. I want to pick up some jump in and play games, like Burnout Paradise and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I just need to get some money first.

Every time we go up to New York or New Jersey we stop at some truck stop on the New Jersey Turnpike and I always see those machines where you put a penny in and it comes out looking like an elongated coin. I got a few of them in the past, but I don’t have them anymore. I like to use a hand cranked penny machine instead of an electrical one because it makes me feel like I made it and not a machine. I usually get one every few years or so just as a novelty. I add it to my collection of other novelty items that seem to disappear after a few months like my name on rice.

I am watching the Pacifier with Vin Diesel and it is better than I would have ever thought. It has a plot very similar to Mr. Nanny with Hulk Hogan, but it is enjoyable. I didn’t think that Vin could be a comedic actor, but this proves me wrong. It’s just too bad that this movie probably ruined his career. Maybe he will be in Fast and Furious 4 to get his career started up again.
