Just finished it. I liked it. A lot. It seemed to me to be a bit of a modern-day Godfather, even past the obvious similarities (ie, both about organized crime). Viggo's character Nikolai just really resonated with me...very well played.
I guess Eastern Promises was a bit of a primer for GTA IV, which comes out...well, 16 minutes ago. I still can't decide whether or not to buy it this week, or wait the whole summer. It is really a very, very tough decision.

Erm?
For some strange reason, I cannot stop narrating what it is I'm writing out loud. It is lucky there is no body around me. Greg would be looking at me funny and then I would have a problem.
It is also interesting, that as I narrate, it is in a slightly Slavic sounding accent. Who knew?
...
I also just bought my plane ticket home. Finally. Cannot wait to be with family and cat, and especially, not here.

Slight retraction
I know, I know....I ranted quite excessively about reviews and what-not. But...

Oh, my sweet baby Slice on a stick... would you take a look at the scores GTA IV is getting (Xbox 360 and PS3). So far...it's got the highest ratings of any game. Ever. Ever ever. I'm...even more excited for the game than I was, if that's even possible. Confession: I'm a bit of a GTA fan...owned almost ever GTA game that has come out... and this shall be no exception.
I'm torn, though. I'm leaving my 'box here over the summer, as I'm none too keen on flying with it, and there seems to be little point in buying it 3 weeks before I go home, especially when I have as much work as I do. Still...it could happen...maybe....
Either that, or I end up buying a PS3 over the summer...which could happen, I suppose. Not that I really have the money for a PS3, but it has Metal Gear coming to it, which I so desire. Maybe I can get a good deal on one. The problem there, of course, is the same dilemma I face now: I'll have to fly back to Ohio with a PS3, and that I really do not look forward to. Maybe I can get a case for it...or mail it...or something. I dunno.

In other news, I bought/currently paying for Greg's DS. He got a new one for his birthday and I took the old one off his hands. Been playing Pokemon Ruby...I know, I know...it's just...so much fun! Greg asked me tonight if I'd rather live in the Star Wars universe or the Pokemon universe. I actually couldn't decide.
This weekend sucked pretty hard for me. At least I almost had a heart attack on Friday. Next time I do it (ie, next weekend), I'll get pictures of the culprit, as it's actually a bit of a wonder I'm still alive.
