Two worm cans have been opened. One is more likely to stick than the other.

The first is evident by the fact that I’m posting on Tumblr. The second is comic books (specifically the Batfamily in The New 52). One will cost me more money, but ultimately bring me more joy.

Let’s see if either sticks.

Games I’m playing right now:

• Kingdom Hearts 3D (stagnating after Tron Legacy world)
• Final Fantasy VII (I might go back to this, but not now)
• Tomba! (done with it. Hit a point that stopped being fun about 2-3 hours in.)
• Persona 3 Portable (started it)
• Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time (started it)
• Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light (I had my fun. Unless I get Joe to play local co-op with me, I’m done with it)
• Pac-Man Championship Edition DX (stagnating)
• Madden NFL 13
• Professor Layton and the Last Spector (so sue me; I want some puzzles and shit)
• Kirby’s Dream Collection (reviewing)

Check out the full backlog list here.

Also, this. Looks like Clay might be Rodgers’ #2 photobomber now that Flynn is gone. I hope Flynn brings the photobombing tradition to Seattle.

I love the Packers with all my heart. Shit, even if they were just professional photo bombers (a league they would surely run the table in), I’d pay attention to them.

Well, there goes my weekend…

Football is back, baby! Bring on the GIF onslaught!

My friend Pete made a comment about halfway through the game that “Eli with hands on head” would be the Giants meme of the season. I had my doubts, but at the end of the game, that image summed up how the Giants played.

Cowboys offensive lineman tackles Boley at like the 2-yard line? “Eli with hands on head”

Tony Romo (who really looks Asian under center) throwing a touchdown pass to Kevin “hold on, let me try to claim him for my fantasy team” Ogletree? “Eli with hands on head”

Eli scores a TD to narrow the deficit to one score then doesn’t get the ball back for the rest of the game? “Eli with hands on head” followed by an “oh man!” Eli-ism utterance.

Note: The GIF might not be working, go here to see it if it’s just a creepy image of Jerry Jones.

It’s somewhat reassuring that my favorite quotations on Facebook still make smile every time I happen to notice them, especially since I haven’t touched them since like 2008.

“Legend has it that the mountain existed on the island before the island existed herself which, if you think about it, is impossible” MS

“Do you really think I would take on an ordinary request such as that?” Professor Layton

EW: So what percentage of Y’s sales success would you attribute to Ampersand, the monkey?
BRIAN K. VAUGHAN: About 80 percent.

“I’ve got a bad feeling about this…” Star Wars

“But of course! You think a minor thing like the end of the world was going to do me in?” FFVI

Victor Cruz is 25 years old, has had one good year in the NFL, and has written an autobiography.

Yes, I shit you not. An autobiography.

I turn 25 in March. I’m prepping my autobiography entitled “Yo Dawg, I’ve Gone To Like 4 E3s: This One Time, My Quote Was On The Cover of Madden…On Wii”

Who am I kidding? He’s on my fantasy team. I hope he does well.

The Amazon description follows…

“It may seem like I came out of the blue. But, my road was long, windy, full of hurdles, and even some dead ends. I lost family. I lost friends. I even lost my way. When I reached what felt like rock bottom, I realized I had a responsibility to everyone who believed in me and to kids, like me, who just needed a chance and something to believe in.”—from the epilogue of Out of the Blue

Victor Cruz, the Super Bowl-winning and record-breaking wide receiver, is best known for his explosive plays and salsa touchdown celebrations. While his meteoric rise in the NFL looked like the result of a magical year, it was actually a lifetime in the making.

Raised in Paterson, New Jersey’s gritty Fourth Ward, Cruz overcame numerous setbacks through hard work, perseverance, and the support of his loving family—from his grandmother who gave him his signature dance moves; to his late father, a former firefighter, who introduced him to football and taught him how to play; to his hard-working, single mother who never let him give up in the face of a challenge. They all helped to keep him on the right path, as did his coaches, but Cruz’s journey was never easy. There were family tragedies, academic struggles, injuries, and more. In this inspiring, never-before-seen account, Cruz pays tribute to the people and places that made him the man he is today, recounts his most defining moments, and illustrates how his hardships ultimately unleashed his impenetrable will to win.

Out of the Blue is a candid and moving reflection of an overlooked and undersized athlete with an uncommon last name in American football that was determined to beat the odds and earn his chance to succeed.

A discussion this weekend and the release of the Ratchet & Clank Collection last week made me finally start A Crack in Time, which is, as expected, fantastic.

Jordy might as well be saying “lol. I can’t grow that facial hair, man.”
