And who said The Phantom Menace could serve no purpose? So despite my personal health being back to okeyday (ok, that's going too far even for me), our cable modem seemed to catch the same bug I had and on Monday, we had to put it down. Obviously thinking of the time it would take to mourn the loss of the internet, our cable provider gaves several days to grieve before replacing it with a younger, more vibrant modem. Thanks Comcast!!...
More to the point, the blog had gone silent and I wanted to restate my commitment to (nearly) daily updates and upholding our illustriously cynical namesake. However, and it pains me to say it, there will not be a Weekly Monotony this week or next week (damn you Puzzlehunt!). But have no fear, as our weekly antics will return in podtastic fashion the following week with the introduction of a new, and hopefully shorter, format along with our review of what promises to be the best movie I've seen since I rewatched The Dark Knight yesterday, Watchmen. I'm pumped, I'm psyched, and I'm no where near emotionally stable enough to handle a let down from <fist shake> Zack Snyder </fist shake>.
In other "while you were out" news, and by "you" I mean me...just work with me here, today bejewled addicts and sci-fi nerds were joined in unholy matrimony with the release of the sequel to last year's cult classic and meth-laced casual game Puzzle Quest in shiny new space adventure form as Puzzle Quest: Galactrix. I fully plan on tempting fate and work productivity by taking the game's new hexagonal gameboard and freaky puzzle piece gravity effects for a spin. And as a frequent enabler, I suggest that you do to. Catch it on PC, DS or Xbox Live Arcade.
Also check back this Friday for updated post-oscar rants, as I'm sure you've been dying to read, and learn why every one who liked Disney's Bolt is not to be trusted.
Well I've gotta catch a bongo from the scene, and go to Theebs to see the Queen. Likely, I'll end up on Tatooine, where I just might find, this boy. </end communication>
