I hear a lot of jokes about my name. None of them are funny.
My fiancee Gina plans events for World Travel Meetings and Incentives. We live in a loft in San Francisco, and can occasionally be found flying kites at various spots around the city. If you're on Xbox Live, look me up. My gamertag is Willski.

Console weekend-o-rama
I finished Zelda this weekend, with only about 20 hours in the game. I thought I was taking my time, but I guess I really hammered through the last few hours. Unfortunately, nothing really gave me another wow moment like I got after I finished the first major quest. Still, it’s easily the best Zelda since A Link to the Past. I did miss seeing Epona though.
Saturday night was KFOG’s Kaboom, which is a local radio stations annual non-nationalistic fireworks display. Conveniently, it’s on piers 30 and 32, making it easily viewable from our rooftop. After 30 minute or so of blowing shit up, we cruised down the street to our neighborhood sushi joint, Sushi Groove if you were wondering, and enjoyed several rounds of sushi, beer, and sake. After our dinner excursion, we headed back to the apartment and got down to some hardcore competitive gaming.
First up was Monkey Ball’s triumphant return to our living room. After several heated mini-games, we fired up the main game in two player mode. The monkeyball addiction is back in full force. By the time we finished playing, Gina’s hands had cramped into a Wavebird-esque shape.
After Monkey Ball, we fired up the Xbox for a little DoA3. DoA’s still fun, even after a couple of years. I’m about ready for another fighter though.
Funny story. When we started playing DoA, I had to turn on the lights to prove to Gina that I hadn’t stuck her with the ‘big’ Xbox controller. Say what you will, jokes about the size of the Xbox controller are always funny.
Today we hit the demo disk that came with Xbox Live and played some Tetris offline and MotoGP online. When we saw Dirty Sanchez and guest, we both immediately thought it was Tatum and Ashley. Unfortunately, it was just another perv and his buddy.
On the movie front, The God of Cookery highlights everything that’s weird, fun, and just plain wacky about Hong Kong cinema. Anyone who thinks Iron Chef is bizarre could really have their eyes opened by this movie. I’ll never look at an Assorted Noodle plate the same again.
