don't forget that UNM won a piece of the regular season conference title. They are as deserving as UNLV and SDSU.

uh, Lewis' wikipedia entry says "Lewis' 2005 season was cut short again by injury in week 6, and he was placed on injured reserve in week 8. The injury left him on the sideline for the 10 remaining games of the season. Although injured, Lewis still amassed over 40 tackles a sack, and an interception."

which seems to fit the curse a lot more than missing the last game of the season.

Here's hoping!

Tool - Lateralus

My initial reaction was the obvious 'WTF' having never heard of this guy, but after reading up and seeing a lot of the links here I came away impressed. Everything seems to be very down to earth, very gritty, even with sci-fi backdrops. All of the animations seem to have a very high and realistic level of integration with the world around them, look at the police bot in the movie that was posted and honestly tell me you don't think theres a little Master Chief in there. The core's of the Halo story (Alien and Human interaction, Artificial Intelligence, war and it's inherint drama) are present in all of his work and based on what I see I am pleasantly surprised by the choice. Take all this, add Peter Jackson supervising and the world class FX house at WETA, and I'm pretty excited for the flick.

I need 1. Tenacious D and 2. Tool. If I get that I will be MORE than happy. I actually had a bunch of people over this weekend with a borrowed copy of guitar hero and it was a blast. All I need now is an announcement of a 360 version and I'll put my money down now.

Does anyone have the link to the actual article/video/podcast this was in? YTMND is terrible.

Hah, I've been doing the same thing since about the second day I picked up my lite. I also enjoy how in the sleeve it feels like my DS is perfectly fine, while when my PSP was in it I was always worried about still screwing it up or dropping it. Nintendo should make a copycat that actually has a few spots to put a game or some styluses (styli?)

Also, I forgot to point out how people (like Jay it seems) get pissed off on one end because they didn't play as Chief the whole game (why else wouldn't you like the story, it was great if cut a little short) while simultaneously making fun of the fact you play as a one man army. ITS THE WAY VIDEO GAMES WORK. You are the protagonist! You do all the hard work. Wheter your the Chief or Solid Snake or Gordon Freeman or Mario, you're doing rediculous shit to save the day. You don't want that? Go fill out your taxes I hear those forms are pretty realistic.
