Had an extremely busy weekend. Setup the RAID 0 and added more memory to my PC, reformatted and reinstalled Vista three or four times, because I wasn't setting the RAID 0 up correctly. Finally finished it, but don't see that much of an increase in speed when capturing videos. I'm going to grab a few more things, as described to me by Behindshadows2.

We went to the National Geographic Museum and saw thier "Frogs" display. I've never seen so many frogs in my life. We saw small tiny ones, big fatty ones, brightly colored ones, humping ones, err... Anyways, it was great, Nat really enjoyed it.

The draft wasn't bad, I mean, I dunno. I was a little disappointed the Boys didn't grab Rashard Mendenhall, but I like the Felix Jones pick. Jenkins was a solid pick, not sure about Bennett and the rest of the draft picks. A bit surprised they didn't grab a WR.

What's up with you?

• Q'sOTD: Waiting for the midnight release of GTA IV, or just picking it up tomorrow? How was your weekend?

I'm definitely no longer a hardcore gamer

QOTD - Getting it tomorrow after work for the PS3.

QOTD- I still don't know. I work till midnight, and it's only a 20 minute ride to the store.. Weather is not so great here (rain), so I may just wait till the morning..

Weekend was busy working, then went to dinner and a movie with my fiance (seems weird saying that now) - saw Harold and Kumar, and then had a waiter that I wanted to punch out.

QOTD; Depends on if i can frag my "old" butt out to Gamestop at midnight (im 28). Id love to get it, but in all honesty, if i get it right at midnight, that means im not home till 1 and i have to get up at 6 for one of those real 8-5 jobs.....Not sure if PS3 or 360 gets my vote yet

QOTD:
Not planning on getting GTA (have never played a GTA game). If it's as great as the hype, I might have to reconsider.

Pretty good weekend, highlighted by the Cavs taking care of business in DC yesterday. They relied on 3's a little too much for my liking, but a win's a win. I'm just hoping Stevenson doesn't pull an Artest and start a riot at the Q in Game 5 by trying to hurt LeBron.
Enjoyed the nice weather on Friday by eating outside at a local bar and hung out on our porch with a couple of friends. Went to a "Thinkers and Drinkers" dinner on Saturday to discuss ways to promote community development in Cleveland. Was pretty interesting. Saw Harold and Kumar yesterday.

I'm not planning on getting it either, that's just not my kind of game.

My weekend was pretty good. Went to a dog's birthday party on Saturday (LOL ) and picked up Mario Kart around midnight Sunday and played it pretty much all day.
