Lots of explosions this weekend! Also fire! Yeah!

As for the the videogame news around these parts for today:

Lastly, iPhone 3G mania is coming! I'm

totally going to be hanging out at 6am with my mom at an AT&T store. Generally I think

I'd just wait a couple of weeks but given that E3 is just a few days later, that device

could come in awful handy.

      Best trip to Chicago I ever had:

      Visiting my uncle who lives in Naperville. Walked up the street to the Metra station, hopped on a train, rode it into downtown, hopped on the L, rode it up to Wrigley Field, watched the Cubbies beat the Cardinals (including an out-of-the-park-homerun), had a couple Pabst Blue Ribbons, hopped back on the L, wandered around downtown for a bit, then back on the Metra to Naperville.

      So much damn fun. Of course, here in Dallas, there's nothing to do downtown and if you want to go to a Rangers' game you have to sit in traffic for an hour and then walk 2 miles from the parking lot to the park.

      I'm trying to decide whether or not to go or not (assuming tickets aren't sold out yet).

      I missed last year's, but went to the one before that. I'll be in town two weeks from now for my sisters pseudo-engagement party, don't know if I feel like making the drive twice in two weeks.
