One of the guys who was in the opening act band for Yoshida Brothers was playing in a different band at the Dragon Boat Festival thing. That was nifty.

Also, Stupid Ed's comin' to town either Thursday or Friday, so that'll be fun. I think he wants me to lend him games since he bought the MGS4 bundle. Still, always fun to have him around.

So while on the subject of Metal Gear . . . apparently it HAS made an impact on PS3 sales so far, at least in Japan. The system usually sells about 10 or 12 thousand units a week. The week MGS4 came out, Japan sold about 77,000 units. That's sick. That's awesome but sick.

On the complete opposite spectrum of awesome video gaming . . . in this case, the side that is quite the opposite of awesome . . .

. . . the Guitar Hero property has shown time and again that their souls have been devoured by beasts of shadow and shall never again see the goodness of a loving world ever again.

That's enough for now. Peace!
