And now your video game update

FREE GAME(S)!

In what may become a new marketing strategy, The game Yaris was released for free download through Microsoft Arcade. Yes, it is the same Toyota Yaris from the commercials you know and love. By know and love, I mean know and hate with all your being. It's kind of like a combat racing game. You can buy upgrades to your car, new cars, stronger shields, etc. It's not great, but it is free and there are 200 Achievement points to be whored. I've got 15 of them.

Also, if you haven't already downloaded Aegis Wing from Microsoft Arcade (Chump), do it... also free. It's a side scrolling space shooter a la Gradius for the Nintendo... but with 4 player co-op. We played when it first came out and it was hours of fun. The best is when you all four link up and yell at T to get you a powerup. Go Voltron!

GRAW 2

There is a rumor, albeit not from a reliable source, that the latest DLC for GRAW2 is coming out next week. No word on the cost (if any). We are definitely going to need to take Chump through the co-op campaign. Also I need two more achievements to score the perfect 1000 on GRAW 2 and I'll need help. I need the Demo Expert and I've got to find 4 other people to play Team Mission with to get any progress towards it. The other is Solo Veteran and I actually may not try for it... I may ask for the assist in whoring that one.

UFL Update - Separation Sunday

Not about Halo 3. Killing time and this could be a post that takes 2 hours to create...

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY!

Some thoughts and facts on the teams in the UFL with 4 races to go. Will the UFL Championship be determined this week? All we can say for sure is that there won't be a tie atop the standings after Sunday. Oh the drama. I've got goose bumps.

#6 Big Z - Currently 5 races and 657 points back of #5 Big T. Enough said. Sorry Big Z, no media attention when you secure last place.

#5 Big T - Currently 2 races behind #4 Chump, but 233 points ahead of #4 Chump. Big T suffered a big setback last week dropping the head to head against Chump, which ended a 7 race winning streak. He'll need to pull off some big upsets (next four races: Red, VJG JHo, Big C, and Big Z) and get some help to claim that #4 spot.

#4 Chump - Currently 3 races and 771 points behind #3 Red. Chump went a long way towards securing that #4 spot with a win over Big T last week, but he'll still be keeping an eye in the rearview mirror as he goes after Red. He has the same gauntlet of a schedule as Big T, so he may be content to hang on to #4.

#3 Red - Currently 3 races behind #1 VJG JHo and #2 Big C and 875 points behind #1 VJG JHo and 669 points behind #2 Big C. While the numbers don't look great for Red to move up, he has the advantage of one of the easiest remaining schedules (Big T, Chump, Big Z, and Big C). While not mathematically out of the championship hunt (Big C and VJG JHo go head to head next week, giving one of them at least a 3 race lead over Red with 3 to go), Red will be trying to catch the #2 spot. He finishes up the season with Big C at Miami Homestead, which could provide just the chance he needs. Otherwise he may be looking to help spoil Big C's chances at a championship. A win coupled with a Chump loss will lock up the #3 spot for Red.

#2 Big C - Currently tied with #1 VJG JHo and 206 points behind #1 VJG JHo. Big C faces the toughest remaining schedule, facing off against both VJG JHo and Red in the final four races, and don't forget about upset-minded Big T and Chump.

#1 VJG JHo - Currently tied with #2 Big C and 206 points ahead of #2 Big C. VJG JHo has a statistically easier schedule. After this week against Big C, he finishes out the season against the bottom three teams in the league. But, when you are number one, you have a target on your back every week. You can bet these teams will be gunning for VJG JHo.

What could be the most important matchup of the season will take place this week. It's #2 Big C against #1 VJG JHo. The winner will have sole possession of the top spot in the league and can control his own destiny. I am sure both managers will be watching (playing Halo 3) intently (drunkenly) as the laps wind down. You can bet this will be a great matchup between these two genius (drunk) managers. Will it be the high scoring offense (drunkeness) of VJG JHo or the consistency (drunkeness) of Big C that prevails? STAY TUNED SPORTS FANS.
