Idiot overbearing prosecutor gets caught up in a prostitution ring. The glee I’m feeling over this guy getting bitten in the rear end by the same types of laws he’d vigorously prosecute (including, it appears, four other prostitution rings) knows no bounds.

No, prostitution shouldn’t be illegal. Neither should things commonly referred to as “price fixing,” large executive salaries (see Dick Grasso), or even payola. That Spitzer is being caught up in the same type of thing that he went after with complete disregard for people’s rights or the government’s responsibilities is probably the only form of justice we’ll get for him, sadly.

Dancing on his proverbial grave? Sure, but it’s Eliott Spitzer. If there’s anyone who deserves it…

Because I don’t have time for any other post (so much for catching up over the weekend) and yeah.

* Super Smash Bros. Brawl: I tried to largely avoid the hype on this one, and I’m kind of glad I did - if I had gotten as super excited about this game as it seems like every other Wii owner has, it would be a huge disappointment. Instead, it’s a nice, quality update to Melee, which is something I liked quite a bit. The controls are difficult with the Wiimote, and I may have to revert to a wired GameCube controller, but I can’t say the game isn’t fun, it’s just not unique. My one complaint is the story mode, which is disjointed and lacks any relatively coherent storyline. I loved the story mode in Melee, so this one is a bit of a disappointment, but whatever. I’m excited to try the online mode, even though Nintendo can’t seem to get the internets right - I’ll update this entry with my friend code tonight.

* Rainbow Six: Vegas: Hi folks, welcome to 2006. I know, I’ve never been interested in this, but Rick and Mark both were, and that was worth a $20 investment to hop in on some games. I find I’m somewhat proficient with a sniper rifle, but it’s hard for me not to go in with guns a-blazing like in…

* Team Fortress 2: …this, which has taken on a new life since grabbing it from Steam. New maps and harder matches have revitalized this one for me - I’ve now gone from one of the better players in player matches on 360 to a really horrid player on Steam. Go figure.

* D&D: The campaign continued on Saturday - the one frustrating aspect is that we spent about 45 minutes retrieving a wolf from when we got captured. This has the makings of a loooooong campaign - roughly 15 hours in and we’ve had two or three total battles, and we’re still kind of stuck. It’s fun, though, I’m enjoying myself, it’s just taking a while.
