Back to the regular programming. I've met my goal of getting 10,000 Gamerscore within a year of acquiring my Xbox 360 console. I was actually hoping for a bit more of a challenge to hit it, but borrowing BioShock and then getting The Orange Box, Assassin's Creed and now Mass Effect made it easy. I've still got a ton to do on Assassin's Creed, but Mass Effect is so captivating. I've swayed at times since some of Mass Effect's side quests get a little repetitive, but the story really gets involving and the conversation is great. I actually love the combat, too, but I know some people don't like it as much as I do. If you are looking for a 3rd person shooter, it's not Mass Effect. It's an RPG despite how it was hyped.

I was not originally expecting to ever get that much time with Guitar Hero III other than what I played with my friend who got it. He brought it over earlier in the week, we finished almost all of co-op in one go. Speaking of which, all the co-op Achievements are glitched, so you can only get them if you're player one, meaning you'll have to do everything over twice with your friend unless team Not Harmonix gets their act together. If you know what I've been saying about Guitar Hero III, you'll know that last statement isn't fair. I've decided that Rock Band will be better long ago. I have to say, the more time I'm putting into the latest installment of the Guitar Hero franchise, though, I'm finding new things I like and new thing I don't. Regardless, it is nice to get to play it. My sister had gotten so into Guitar Hero II that she basically decided she was going to get it as soon as I said I was taking the Harmonix path. At first I didn't really care, but I found myself getting excited as the weekend drew close. Sarah picked up the game Friday and we've both spent some time rocking out on career and co-op. More impressions follow.

I was just cleaning some folders out in my room, and I found this card that said
Who is Dr. Cube?
I didn't know, nor did I know where I picked up this card.
Please return this tract to let us know that Dr. Cube is now your personal Savior. Feel free to visit Dr. Cube at
kaiju.com for more information on this once in a life opportunity.
I thought I had no idea what "Kaiju" was, either. I looked it up to find I
did know what it was, I had just never heard this name associated with it before. Apparently Kaijū is the name of Godzilla-esq giant creature fights in primarily urban locales. So, heading to the URL provided, I discovered that the main story on the site is about
