Even though the new stuff hasn’t really arrived yet this is what I got lined up on my season pass manager:

1.) The Simpsons – waiting for the next season to start
2.) The King of Queens – waiting for the next season to start
3.) Lost – Oh yeah, but waiting for the next season to start
4.) My Name Is Earl – waiting for the next season to start
5.) American Dad – come on, Paul Lynn as an Alien, you have to laugh at that and waiting for the next season to start
6.) Prison Break – The FEDs will soon be on the case and yes – waiting for the next season to start
7.) Big Love – those that liked Six Feet Under will like this, but we are waiting for the next round of episodes
8.) Huff – which has Hank Azaria as the main principle and again those that liked Sex in the City type will go for this.
9.) The Sopranos – only 8 episodes left and the series is over, but we have to wait until the next freakin’ batch which I think is 2007
10.) Thief – this is a newer one and it shows merit, I misssed a couple of it is like the opposite of any CSI clone as it is from the bad guys side of it, sort of.
11.) Stargate SG-1 – Season 10 starts this friday (7/14/2006)
12.) The Showbix Show with David Spade – this is an adult version of Late Night, I don’t think it will last, something of a shock jock , but on TV.
13.) Spaced – I needed a little brit humor as Office wasn’t doing it for me. I mainly like this one since it has Simon Pegg it in whom works at a comic book store and plays console games.
14.) Blade: The Series – so far there has only been 2 episodes, but I am liking where they are going so far. The stories are pretty solid, the acting is acceptable and the fighting is pretty good too.
15.) The New Adventures of Old Christine – you just can’t have to many SITCOMs to watch.
16.) Hell’s Kitchen – A stuck up cook that bullys ‘chef’ wanna-bes in front of customers? “Yes, Chef..”
17.) Stargate Atlantis – Season 3 starts this friday (7/14/2006)
18.) Nightmares and Dreamscapes: From the Stories of Stephen King – This is only like 4 or 5 shows, but it looks good
19.) Eureka – Nestled in the Pacific Northwest, Eureka is a small town with big secrets – which sound like another X-files (but they know about all of it) comedy.

Wow.. 19 freaking items… I almost need a triple fed tuner with this stuff!

Tastes like the worse pune cocktail you have ever had. BloodRayne is yet another land mine in a field of video game adaptations. To date I think you can only count the Resident Evil series as good flicks. I said, “Good… not great”

The acting is pretty bad, Rodriguez attempts to cover up her urban accent that she’s has and attempts a really bad British accent. About the only one who seems to take the movie seriously is Loken, who is sexy enough but not a great actor, at least not in this film.

There are some okay moments, like the now infamous scene with Meat Loaf as a big time vampire. And I just don’t think he was ever happier when he is surrounded by Romanian prostitutes in a certain scene. That is about all I have to say about this flick.

Although an early beta version of Firefox 2.0 showed up on several Web sites Monday morning, Mozilla says it is postponing its official release, originally scheduled for Tuesday, until later in the week. via Linuxinsider

Those of you still obsessed with PGR3 ought to turn your attention to Xbox Live Marketplace when you next quit in disgust at some punk ramming you into the first corner – Bizarre Creations’ latest add-on, the Style Pack, is now available.

The latest WoW patch as been released. This patch updates the US & Australian, UK, German and French editions of the game from version 1.11.1 to version 1.11.2.

I told gamerscircle360 ‘Don’t make me hurt you!’ and the threat worked. He showed up yesterday with a gamer score of 1110 in his back pocket. That is a gain of 50 points over last time! He played Joust gaining 1 achievement, The Outfit gaining 2 achievements, and laughed with joy and glee the whole time. I like making people happy.
