Quick Reviews

Book- Without Fail by Lee Child... This was my first Lee Child book, i decided to pick it up after seeing it on the Rude Cactus blog. The hero is a no nonsense ex-soldier, and the story is fast paced and doesnt waste too much time describing mundane details. Nothing is more annoying than a writer who slows down a story by spending 3 pages to describe a house. I'm not the smartest tool in the shed but i know what an office building should look like. Anywho I digress. For me it was a good read if you like the sulky ex soldier nomadic hero type mixed into a story of assasinations and mystery then pick this sucka up.

Movie- Big Stan Directed by and Starring Rob Schneider. Rob plays a timeshare realtor who has 6 months before he goes to prison for fraud. In an attempt to became rape proof he trains with the Master, played by David Caradine. This is a small indie comedy that isnt a complete snort milk out of your nose for 2 hours kind of movie, but it has its laugh out loud moments mixed with few oh my god eww scenes. "If I'm gonna be raped I want the first time to be by somebody I love." a good 2 hour waste of time

Game- Mass Effect. Now i tend to be a little behind in my game playing, meaning i am usually playing last years games this year for the simple fact that i have a wife, 2 kids and a great job. With that said if you havent played Mass effect and you are into RPGs, sci fi, and shoot em ups go get this game. It looks great, sounds great and has a great story. The combat sytem and skills are great and your pc partners arent completely useless.
For a quick gaming waste of time check out Quake Live- its Quake 3 arena played online through your web browser. Best part about it is the practice match that gauges your skill level and then helps you find matches that fit your skill level.

That Ladies and germs is how i wasted my precious free time this week.
