I love coffee. I pride myself on knowing the difference between an Kenya blend and a Guatemala. I must have at least 2 cups of joe each morning to kick start my day and have been drinking it black since I was 15. I prefer fresh ground coffee to out of the can and the stronger the better. So this said, I used to feel like I was in the know in the coffee realm, well I'm not as savy as I thought.

I was flipping through my ever increasing collection of games the other day, trying to make room for newer games, getting rid of older ones when I ran across one of my all time favs. Baldurs Gate and the expansion packs that came after, Sword Coast, Shadows of Ahm and The Throne of Baul. Back in the day I lost many a nights sleep and endured some scolding from my wife for staying up too late, but damn these games suck you in.

If any of you guys and gals out there love Halo and want to know more about the world of Halo, like where Master Chief(john) and the rest of the Spartans came from, how the covenant came about and what's in store for their future, then I highly recommend the Halo books. They're four books total and a graphic novel. I haven't read the graphic novel yet, but the books are really good. They follow along with the games nicely and fill many gaps and answer alot of questions that I had. Reading them made me appreciate the game more and the designers who brought this awesome work to light.

Well I have come to the realization that I am a compulsive spender. I have to have what I want when I want it and that's that. To the detriment of my wallet. I blame....the media, my friends, my parents and the devil because he made me do it. But, no seriously, I know I have a problem and have read how to stop it, but as a typical man and an expert procrastinator, just ask my wife she'll agree, I can not apply what I read but will someday.

The new Star Wars game coming out looks like it's gonna be a winner. Force Unleashed promises to give those of us who crave destruction just what we want. The premise is you are Darth Vaders apprentice who is being trained to assassinate the Emperor. And on the way, kill the serviving Jedi from EpisodeIII and some new ones not yet seen. The game takes place after Episode III and before IV, filling in the blanks those some 20 years between. The game will sport new technology called Euphoria, which will help NPC AI overall in the game, supposedly making them smarter and more realistic.
