I have no idea if this was a tropical storm or a combination of depressions swinging by the Maritimes. Not fun, particularly if you have to walk through it.\n<\/p>\n<p>Three or four years ago, I bought the game Stalker (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hoogervorst.ca\/arthur\/?p=2029\">briefly mentioned here<\/a> when I reviewed FarCry2): For some reason, I stopped playing the game. I recently re-acquired it and started it just a couple of days ago. I still stand by the opinion about the game (review coming up, some day, I think), however, I&#8217;m surprised how everything in the game looked so familiar. I got fairly far, so to say. This time, I&#8217;ll be taking my time.\n<\/p>\n<p>I hate to bring TV commercials up on this blog, but SportChek&#8217;s latest commercials are hilarious, particularly the one with the lady, the son and the Chinese guy with the grease barrel can: a variant of that commercial can <a href=\"http:\/\/adsoftheworld.com\/media\/tv\/sportchek_helmet\">be found here<\/a>.
