A distrubution of wealth

Not real wealth mind you, just that silly fake wealth. Sorry.

As a designer/writer/programmer/anything else working on a video game that features an entire layer - Video games are a lot like onions you see, not cakes - comprised solely of pop culture references, I feel it is my duty to accrue a vast knowledge of things that are "now" and "happening". Not all of these "hip" treasure troves are game related, so please forgive me if you can't bare to be exposed to non-interactive content. Now, allow me to unload a few entries from my mental Rolodex of things that are good upon you.

I, and I'm sure various other people, saw Gran Torino yesterday, a film that to my chagrin had nothing to do with Gran Turismo. It took me a while to get into it, but in the end I ended up really enjoying it, there were several moments that are absolutely fantastic, including one where an old-as-the-hills Clint Eastwood gives a young gang member a lesson in fuckology, the first rule of which is: "Don't mess with Clint Eastwood".

If The statistics are correct, and I have no reason to believe that they aren't, if you know what the Internet is, you have also heard of The Adam Carolla Podcast, but I thought that I would mention it, just in case. Speaking of podcasts, the Penny Arcade & Co. Dungeons and Dragons podcast has returned, but once again, you probably already know this. I'm ashamed to say that I bought into the whole "DnD sounds dumb" school of thought until the first round of these podcasts emerged, but now I really, really, want to try it. And yes guys, that was a hint.

That is all for now, I made a post yesterday that mentioned Command and Conquer but didn't make my "song of the day" a Frank Klepacki one so I've decided today's will be. Protip: hovering over song quotes at the end of my posts reveals further, exciting details.
