9 Out Of 10 Ain't Bad

As an excuse to get out of the house I went to buy some groceries. OK, groceries and junk food. I saw that Lipton Greeen Tea with Citrus was on sale, 10 for 10. I miscounted and got 9 instead of 10, which isn't so bad because I still paid less. (I also didn't realize that 4 of the 9 were diet. D'oh!)

I've been playing alot of Puzzle Quest lately and at the same time watching season 3 of Mystery Science Theater 3000. The audio is great in Puzzle Quest but there's no recorded voices instead it's just text so I can take advantage of that and watch MST3K.

After constantly hearing about Jeff Gerstmann rolling out of bed at noon everyday in front of his Xbox 360 and playing Call Of Duty 4, I couldn't just sit idly by. I'm not at level 55 (yet) but I unlocked the M604E the other day. As of today I'm 2nd Lieutenant II. That M60 just mows down the enemy. Just mows em down. What better way to celebrate Rambo in theaters than mowing down the bad guys with an M60? Isn't that his job? ("Let the bodies hit the...." Well, you know the rest). Speaking of Rambo, Devin Faraci of CHUD.com says, "Rambo earns the Red Badge of Carnage." Too funny.

I finally cracked open Mass Effect. I must say it's exceeded any expectations I had so far. I've only completed the first mission, on Eden Prime, but I'm liking it. The combination of an RPG and a rich sci-fi universe is something I could get in to. That's not to say I won't also play that copy of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition, there's room in my heart for you too, Oblivion!

Does anyone know of a website or a way to track the multiplayer unlocks, rank and so forth? Ya know, kinda like Halo 3? That would rock.
