Picture This

Between the Freshman face book, school directory and online photo rosters, it seems like Loyola College give its students plenty of oppurtunities to stalk one another. Now all this has become obsolete thanks to the facebook.com. Not only can students now find out things they already know about their friends (because who on campus cares about strangers?), but they can also add whatever pictures and info they want to fuel the inner Narccicist! Sounds like a match to me, and considering how much buzz there is about it recently it looks like I'm right.

Of course as much as I might joke about the idea, I'm still on there somewhere. Man's gotta represent.

In other news, it looks as if Resident Evil 4 is no longer a Gamecube exclusive. This is much to the dismay as many a Nintendo fan, as one of the best (and last) reasons to own a Cube has now been shot to shit. While the move is bad for Nintendo, its great for gaming. Think of it this way; Cube owners will still be getting it first (by a long shot), and will probably be getting the better version (there's no way they'll manage those graphics on the PS2). Also, anyone who really wanted to play the game has probably already bought a Gamecube, or still will to avoid the wait. And if they haven't, it means PS2 owners (many who might be RE vets) get the chance to play the first real bit sequel in the series since Code Veronica. Sounds good to me, although this announcement makes me curious as to just what kind of agreement the two companies had that allows Capcom to bring all of their 4 exclusive Cube titles to the PS2 as well, without creating a breach of contract.

Two Weeks to Half Life 2. I feel like a kid after the first week of December, when Christmas is close but feels like an eternity.
