Bit of a busy day yesterday, but probably the biggest news would be that of Ninja Gaiden director Tomonobu Itagaki, leaving then suing long time employer Tecmo. If there is a positive aspect to be noted, I do recall that he saw Ninja Gaiden 2 as being his final word on Ninja Gaiden-ness. So while he certainly isn't going to be making another one now, he likely wouldn't have been anyway. And for a second we thought there might be a Duke Nukem Forever trailer this week but apparently George Broussard doesn't value his home not being stomped on .

I live in the city of Baltimore, so this is not a usual occurrence.

  Heh, we're just outside the city (well 15 min out now) and we see them running around all the time. Those ones look pretty healthy though! Most of the ones I see around my way are mangy lookin.
  
  I guess they're moving in toward Baltimore for some reason. /shrug

  Is Baltimore anything like what 'The Wire' depicts?

    My impression of Baltimore is entirely based on John Waters movies and The Wire. And trips to the aquarium.

      And honestly, you would pretty much be on the mark.

        Unfortunately so. There is a lot of crime, but I don't necessarily feel unsafe where I live. Keep in mind that the Wire takes place mostly in the crappier sections of town, and Jon Water's movies mostly take place before Urban Flight.

    Yup. I lived in Baltimore for like 20 years and even lived in some of the shittier areas that they show in The Wire. It's pretty accurate.

  If a fox lived in my back yard, he could live fat and happy for years with all the fucking rabbits running around.

    I've got my dogs trained to sit quietly at the back door so I can open it quietly and slowly, then I let them loose with "Get em!" and a good minute or two of critter chasing ensues.

    It's because I haven't mowed it in a week and a half. Lazy + Good Boating Weather = slacking on yard work.

  I have been woken up by foxes shrieking during the night and had to clean garbage they have strewn across the driveway far too many times to like the bastards :|

    Their screams can be most unpleasant.

      No, their screams are scary. Sounds like a child being stabbed.

  In Boston we have flocks of wild turkeys and geese. My parents also have tons of raccoons that run through their backyard at night (also in Boston). Some unexpected animals are just well adapted to city life.

  They're cute, but can get annoying very quickly
