I saw Pixar's film "Up". And it was awesome. I'm now crazy about Kevin the bird.

But now the question is, is it my favorite Pixar film? My previous favorite was Ratatouille. I don't know... I think Up had a lot more of an emotional punch and better visuals, an even greater attention to detail. Ratatouille had Remy who I adored... but Up has Kevin! Come on! No contest! So I'll tentatively say Up is my new favorite Pixar film.

I tend to take "favorite Pixar film" somewhat seriously since they're all of such great quality that it really takes something special to make one of them stand out. Ratatouille managed that with some sort of magic quality I couldn't pin down. And now Up has managed it with great emotional power, fantastic animation quality, and the cute sounds that Kevin makes.
You didn't say wot wot.

So, I found out today when I was buying a soda that EA and Dr Pepper have started their new promotion, which involves inputting codes found on Dr Pepper twenty-ounce bottle caps to get free stuff in EA's games. Normally this kind of thing wouldn't affect me, but...one of the games that's part of the promotion is Spore.

For whatever reason, I was being completely pessimistic about this whole thing. First I was expecting it to just give me something at random, which would've been useless for three out of four games. Nope - you get to pick which game you want a prize for. Then, for whatever reason, I was expecting it to give me one creature part per code, so that I'd have to buy a dozen sodas to get everything - but I was wrong there too. One cap got me the entire Bot Parts Pack. And it's just stuck there on my EA account, so I don't even have to load up Spore and activate it in-game or anything.

So this means I don't have to worry about this promotion after this unless they decide to release more parts packs as part of it. Which, if they don't make it a pain to deal with, I'll gladly snap up.

Undertaker is so badass for taking that and still competing in that match.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

Just took advantage of this week's Midweek Madness deal on Steam to pick up Altitude, Bob Came In Pieces, Bullet Candy (I wrote about its sequel/remake, Bullet Candy Perfect, a few months ago), Galcon Fusion, Gridrunner Revolution, Space Giraffe, and Super Laser Racer for $10.

I am in a good mood, for I have double-star ranked all the cups in Mario Kart Wii.

Maybe now I won't stay up so late at night. Heh.

In other news, driving home from a movie with my new girlfriend listening to Foo Fighters and waking up the next day at noon feels awesomer than anything I've felt in a while.
