Police only exist to fill out the paperwork needed to file an insurance claim.
Something to consider. If a civilian is shot on the street, they’ll send a couple cars to do a search of the area, and if they find the shooter, great, and if they don’t… meh, they’ll look again later. On the other hand, if a cop is shot, you’d think they were an invading army. Within minutes every street in the area is shut down. Dozens and dozens of cops are mobilized and searching every nook and cranny. SWAT teams are riding around in armored vehicles. Why is so much effort expended over a fellow cop when the same amount is rarely given to those they swear “to protect and to serve?”
Don’t depend on them, learn to defend your self and your property.

In less than a week, on the evening of August 19th, at a theater near you. An event that has been 72 years in the waiting. The genius group at RiffTrax.com will be plying their patented trade to Reefer Madness.
Probably the only theatrical presentation that could rival Rifftrax Live: Reefer Madness in absolute Epicness is the Manliest Man Movie Ever Man-Made By Men – Eat, Pray, Love.
Be sure to get your tickets now to be entered into the RiffTrax.com iPad giveaway contest.

The Resistance series is superior to the Halo series in nearly every way. There, I said it.
Halo wins in the music department and probably the multiplayer department, I haven’t played Resistance multiplayer though, so I don’t know. Resistance games win on everything else. Nathan Hale could take Master Chief any day of the week.
Speaking of Resistance 2 specifically now. I’m loving it. It’s not perfect though. The boss fights are formulaic, but that they are just so big makes them very entertaining. In fact, the overall scale of the game, especially the first time you walk outside in San Fransisco, is something to see.
I am particularly enjoying the excellent pacing of R2, it makes it very easy to get into and out of the game while still feeling like you’re making a lot of progress. I usually only play it an hour or so a day and in that hour usually something big, like a boss fight or major battle, happens. That usually signals the end of my playtime so I turn it off and get on with my day. I can’t remember the last game I played that had such great pacing.
I’m greatly looking forward to the end of Resistance 2 and eventually moving on to Resistance 3, when it is finally released.

On rail mounted tactical flashlights:
One problem I witnessed, however, at least one of my genius buddies used their tactical light as a handy flashlight; running around the house pointing their gun at all kinds of stuff. Tactical lights are very bright and designed to startle whatever they are pointed at, and you’re only suppose to point your gun at things you intend to shoot, so if you do get a tactical light and mount it to a gun, don’t use it like a flashlight!
Yeah, don’t do that.

…the sign eventually came to signify, variously, that the one gesturing is rocking him or herself, is encouraging the recipient of the gesture to rock as well, that he/she emphatically appreciates the rocking that may have already commenced, or at the time others may have already commenced the rocking while in a large crowd or other situation where one would generally rock out.
That’s the best description of the horns ever. \m/
I think that needs to go on a t-tshirt.

WOW
Wasn’t expecting that.
Again I mean… wasn’t expecting that again…
For the fourth time…
In just over a year…
At four different hospitals…

A writer on a for profit blog full of advertising complaining about a for profit web site being … full of advertising…
On top of that, Office Web Apps’ landing page usually sticks an ugly ad in the lower-right corner, one you’re probably used to seeing on the sites of newspapers that have lost touch with their advertisers, blogs hungry for monetization, and other hey-whatever ad sections. It’s less than appealing, especially when the design seems to blend into the beige-ish focus of Live.com’s design. (Note that you can change your Live.com theme, but the ad doesn’t ever go away).
You could read the rest of the article if you want… but there’s nothing really to see there, kinda lame.

Wow.
Great graphics, awesome sound and music, a beautiful story, and epic gameplay all add up to one of the best games I’ve ever played. It’s no wonder that Okami was chosen as game of the year by so many in the games press back in 2006. What is a wonder is that it’s still languishing in relative obscurity.
If you haven’t played Okami yet you really need to. It’s only about 30 – 40 hours, so a couple of weeks at a few hours a day is a great use of your time to play it.
Get it on the PS2 to see it in all it’s original glory, or get the Wii version and enjoy a new level of immersion as you waggle your stick around to paint with the celestial brush.
If you missed this one and you’ve been needing a good adventure go buy Okami now.
