I used to be a super huge fan of Conan… I guess I still am. But stopped making the effort to tune in some time ago, for whatever reason. I used to love his shtick, but it kinda got old. Also, after tuning in earlier this week, I was once again reminded that the guy is unfortunately not the best interviewer on the planet. At least he’s better than Leno. That guy fucking sucks. Though back in the day, when he was purely Carson’s Monday guy, I didn’t mind him so much! Can’t recall if he was actually better back then, or if I just let it slide.

There was a point when I wondered how Conan would fare with the Tonight Show gig. It’s not like he can’t perform for such an environment, since that’s where he was based while working on the Simpsons. But there used to be a point that his stuff kinda biting and not at all suited for middle America, the same folks that basically forced Letterman to neuter himself (though him being filthy rich and not having anyone to rage against plus having his mom become some super star certainly didn’t help). Though truth be told, even at its best, the Late Night with O?Brien still couldn’t touch Late Night with Letterman. God I miss that stuff.

I hear that Leno will jump ship to ABC, and that Jimmy Kimmel will quit and maybe go to Fox or whatever. I’ve tried on about five separate occasions to sit through his show and the most I’ve gotten through is like three minutes.

Was going to add an addendum to my post, but I’ll just pass it along here: so I got my hands on Sonic Unleashed for the PS2, which is kinda different from the Xbox 360 version, and it’s actually better, since there’s a tiny bit more of the run Sonic run, though most of what I played was just a somewhat poorly constructed tutorial. Plus, the way talking with people is laid out is far worse (you can at least skip conversations in the 360) and the games is CONSTANTLY auto saving and loading. Plus everything is all drab and muted looking (Sega never used to have a problem making colorful games with a system’s technical constraints), though in the end, I had a LOT more fun with it than its next-gen bigger brother. Now I need to track down the Wii version, which is also like the PS2 iteration but “more”.

I’ll give Unleashed a shot, but i’ve been offered it for free. Dammit, the 2d levels are designed by the rush team >.<

2. Tina Fey and her FemiNazi bullshit on Weekend Update was the main reason why my girlfriend and I stopped watching SNL. I really miss Norm MacDonald.

3. Guitar Hero World Tour is not that bad, better than 3, but the animation still sucks. You’d think with Rock Band 1 to learn/copy from Neversoft would have done better, but no. Guess that’s why I don’t mind Rock Band 2 looking so much like the first one.

4. Gamefly blows dude. I’ve used GameZnFlix in the past and had no problems. Then again, I live less than a mile away from one of their distrubution centers (here in Texas).
