Video Game of the Week...

Well boys and girls, its time for Big Snack himself to let you all in on what game he's been wasting his life on in the Greenfield Penthouse as I like to call it...

This week's game is, and those of you who know me already know what I'm gonna say, is Guitar Hero III-Legends of Rock. I know, this game does not seem like something Snack would normally be into, but the soundtrack is absolutely kickass and the players you can create are cool as hell...

And another thing that makes this game so great is the pop culture signifigance it olds...It was the basis for an entire episode of South Park, and anything good enough for Cartman and Kyle and friends is good enough for Snack and Diego and friends...

I think the best part has to be the feeling the game gives you...after you perform an especially stirring version of "Devil Went Down to Georgia", where you have to beat Lou the Devil to advance, you feel like you really are a rock legend...

This game is the shit...

All in all, Snack gives it 5 Irons outta 5...This game had it's haters (you know who you are), but once you pick up the axe and start wailing away like Slash (and also with Slash in the game) there's nothing you can do but enjoy every head-banging, groupie-banging moment of it...

ROCK ON!!!!

PS: Hopefully next week, with a little help from PNA marketing manager Tito "I'm just a lil' guy" Hahn, we'll have the competing music game, Rock Band to review...With Tito on drums, our boy Seankidd on bass, Snack on lead guitar and Diego on vocals, I don't see how it could go wrong...HAHAHAHAHA

Pens win, Some links and Video Game of the Week...

Well sports fans, first and foremost, congrats are in order for our Pittsburgh Pens who defeated the Senators last night 6-5 in a shootout. Jarko Ruutu scored the deciding goal on an amazing fake-then-thru-the-5-hole move that left Ottawa crying in whatever it is those damn Canadians cry in...

Player of the game goes to Ryan Malone, who scored two goals and was playing every shift like a man with a mission...The fourth line also looked pretty good, flying all over the ice and hitting anything that moved...We also overcame two seperate two goal deficits, which is a good sign for this team that has had it's heart questioned in recent weeks...Maybe this will be the turning point we're all talking about when we win the Cup...Maybe...

YEA!!! Somebody other then me scored a goal!!!

In football news, yesterday's games were about as exciting as a kick in the balls...Indy, Green Bay and Dallas all won, and all won pretty big...At least Brett Favre and the Pack are a feel good story in this era of Spygate, but I still think the AFC's best would eat their children...

In college football news, USC stayed alive in it's bid for another Rose Bowl birth by beating the hell out of Arizona St...JD Booty didn't play as his name would suggest, throwing for 375 yards and 4 TD's...It's kind of a shame Oregon might miss the Rose Bowl because of the injury to Dixon, but that's the way football is I guess...

Today is also Black Friday, aka the day my crazy mother wakes up at 2:30 AM to go shopping...Jesus H is she wild, but not as bad as those jagoffs going to Grove City at midnight last night...That's all we need; a bunch of overfed, overdrunk bastards driving 100 miles to go fight each other for bargains...I also learned from someone who went last year that most of the people who go are Canadian...I swear those bastards are invading our country one shopping outlet at a time...

Blame Canada...

Finally, check out MLB Trade Rumors, as they still believe Ian Snell is on the block...I don't know why anyone in their right mind would trade someone so young and so good, but if it brings us closer to winning (I don't really see how it can) I guess I'm ok with it...

I am going to post a new segment later today called Snack's Video Game of the Week, which will let yinz know what game the big guy is playing on the regular and why it's so sweet...Until lata...
