one of my favorite movies of 2008. brilliant. this is how you bring freshness to an over-saturated genre. i just bought this earlier today... i should save it for the weekend, perhaps. we'll see about that. do yourself a favor and watch this, regardless, if whether you are or not a vampire aficionado...
An amazing, vital piece of hip hop history... Its about time that light has been shed on this birthplace of so many styles. A definite must-see for anyone who calls themselves a fan of hip hop culture.

i woke up today, hit the power button on my laptop, and decided to call one of the local game stores.
11:58 AM
my third call = two Street Fighter IV: Collector's Edition PS3 extra copies just arrived. worker dude, literally just opened the UPS box when i called. first come, first serve basis was in full effect.
12:01 PM
what did i do? i bought both them mu'fucka's... i drove VERY fast. thank you, Gamestop.
see. you don't need to pre-order shit... actually, you should, but then again, you miss out on the adventure in finding one... my homie and i pretty much drove all over and called up every store in our vicinity that carried video games.
yesterday, i was presumptuous in thinking that i will easily locate one of these limited edition gems...
but, today... absolutely victorious (with the exception of my bank account).
i will be playing this all week... and throughout the weekend...
i'm pretty sure nothing will be getting done during this SF4 binge.
