For the first time in my life, both Chicago baseball teams are in the playoffs.

To non sports fans, non Chicagoans and non Chicago suburbanites, you will not understand/appreciate the significance of this.

It has been 102 years since both teams were in the playoffs at the same time.

It has been 100 years since my team, the Cubs, have won the world series, and 63 years since they even APPEARED in a world series.

People have lived and died and never seen this in sports history.

This year’s Cubs have broken all kinds of team records and league records. Some of these records have even been around, you guessed it, 100 years.

It has been an amazing summer for Chicago baseball fans, and October is going to be all the more exciting!

I never thought I’d say this about the Sox but I watched their game last night and that team has my respect. They hung on and hung on all season long and fought and scraped and clawed to get into the playoffs. Last night’s one game playoff with the Twins was AMAZING. My hat is off to them and to their fans who showed up in legions to support that team.

Now I WANT an all Chicago world series.

One might think the chances of that are nearly impossible. And those thoughts would be right. But it’s been a baseball season of breaking records in Chicago. No reason a few more records can’t fall by the time it’s over.

GO CUBS GO!!!!

And dare I say it?

LET’S GO GO GO WHITE SOX!!!!

Silent Hill: Homecoming comes out today. This series is no longer being produced by developers in Japan as they’ve handed the reigns over to US programmers. I don’t know what to think about this.

The series has always had great appeal to me because it’s mixed the sensibilities and themes of Japanese horror storytelling with Western characters, settings and atmosphere. It’s a wonderful crossing of eastern and western supernatural horror styles.

But Silent Hill: Origins was lacking something. I think the setting was fine, the characters fine and the situations were fine. But there some fundamental element missing and I think it was that Japanese storytelling sensibility.

Mind you, not that I think the Japanese are inherently better storytellers than Americans. But Silent Hill was a fascinating fusion of eastern and western up until Origins and the absence of that fusion was more than a little noticeable. The game was okay but it just felt hollow somehow. I fear the same thing will happen with the new game.

It’s not all doom and gloom for the game’s prospects, however. One thing they are doing with this game is making the character an actual combat worthy individual, a military veteran. Now, the thing about Silent Hill’s characters I have always liked is that they weren’t killing machines. It made them vulnerable somehow, exposed and fragile and that made the games more scary to play. If I want combatants fighting monsters, I have Resident Evil to get me through that desire. But the thing I find compelling about them doing it in Silent Hill is that this is a first for the series, and I am curious to see how this new character type will work in a Silent Hill game.

With Resident Evil, the emphasis is on ‘SURVIVAL horror’. With Silent Hill, those games have always been more pure ‘HORROR’ and fright. Giving the character guns and martial arts moves and physical prowess is empowering and a rush but it’s not scary. The chills and thrills in RE come from a different place than they do in Silent Hill, which is based more on the distinct lack of hope and the inevitability of something both overwhelming and terrifying at the same time.

Still, I am enthusiastic about the game’s prospects because of the difference in character type from the others. Will keep you posted.

Last night, with the help of Ahvi, Meribia, their friend Zanshin and my wife Kiela and my friend Batzmaru, we crushed the lich for the Bastok 5-1 mission. I was a little hesitant to even go on that mission because earlier in the night I’d been invited to do Diabolos prime and I was getting CONSTANT R0s and disconnects and that was REALLY pissing me off. And I know it wasn’t my PS2 because I was also getting disconnects from Skype as well. I was extremely frustrated and annoyed because I’d worked an 11 hour day and was really looking forward to playing and Comcast had to fuck up my cabbage patch. But later in the evening everything seemed to smooth out and there were no issues so I was pleased with how we did during the lich.

Last Thursday, the Shield of Heaven had Alexander down to 1% when we wiped at 2 minutes left in the fight. It was more than a little frustrating, but more importantly it was proof that we are lacking a little offensive punch with our current setup. It doesn’t help that Alexander spams a TP move that heals 5% of his total health and he is a beast to actually damage. So we decided to back off of Alexander for a while and research our options on how best to proceed.

The plan for the Shield of Heaven at this point is to grind everyone up to BLM 75 in a mana burn on Thursday nights and bring a little more magic punch to the fight. Gearing up in elemental magic attack gear really seemed to help Thundaga (the BLM of the group) and we think that replacing a DD with a BLM and having two BLMs and a SAM/DRK in the stun rotation will free Kiela up from having to stun and she can focus on straight healing. With me tanking as PLD/WAR and Viera as BRD to keep us buffed and throw some backup healing, it might make the difference. We’ll see in a couple of months after everyone’s BLM is at 75. Even if this doesn’t prove to be the winning combination (and I think it will), having 6 BLMs at 75 will help the group immensely with all kinds of in game activities. The grind begins Thursday, and with the group’s extra account 75 BRD/WHM helping on the PL and killing adds until we get high enough to not need the PL, we should go far.

I am no fan of westerns, but many of the ones to come out in recent years (Unforgiven, Open Range, 3:10 To Yuma) being very good films, I pretty much expect quality when I see a new movie coming out that is either A.) a western or B.) taking place during America’s frontier years.

Appaloosa comes out this weekend and it looks like a really great film. Ed Harris is a great actor and I can’t wait to seee how he does as a director and writer in this movie. And he obviously has connected with Viggo Mortensen after their experiences working on A History Of Violence together because the former Aragorn is also in the movie. I have high hopes and high expectations for this movie.

The following week, Quarantine comes out and even though there could never be another one of these ‘1st person camera’ flicks that could live up to Cloverfield or the even better Diary Of The Dead, it looks like it could deliver some legitimate excitement. Looks like movies are finally starting to gear up for the holiday season once more!

Well, that’s all for now. TTYL, folks!
