Finished playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. Now watching Countdown TV before I hit the sack.

That game made 310 million dollars in sales during the first 24 hours...straight nuts.

^Wow I had no idea it was that massive. I wonder how Super Mario Bros. on Wii will do next month?

Yeah Takoyama...I was trippin' when I heard that figure...AND that only includes sales in the UK and North America...not the entire globe.

I'm sure Mario will be another blockbuster but I don't think the Warfare 2 sales numbers will be beaten by another game anytime soon.

To put it in perspective, they said when the Dark Knight premiered it generated 155 million dollars in ticket sales, just a bit over half what this video game generated. Staggering, really.

Off to clean some toilets! :sweat:

Yean, 310 mil for a videogame?!? In one day...that is nuts.

I think Assassin's Creed II will make a bigger deal than Mario Bros. I tried to order the limited addition pack online and it's already sold out and it hasn't been released yet. I had to settle for just the game package. :shamefulcry:

Haha..nice. I went to Sushi Gen for lunch yesterday, so I know your excitement. Have a good meal.

Watching the pre-game show of Spain vs Argentina. This is just a friendly match that doesn't really count, yet I can't help but worry of how Maradona has screwed up the team. :shakehead:

Had a very interesting talk with the waitress about the various types of o-cha. :victory:

Probably stuff you already know, like a different, lighter o-cha is served at the sushi bar than at the tables, so as to not overpower the sushi... :)

And the o-cha at my sushi place is like their teriyaki: homemade... They toast their own brown rice (genmai), add small amounts of popped corn (!), and mix sen-cha (common green tea) leaves with maccha (powdered green tea)... And hand-package each tea pouch. :victory:

What? Homemade...that's awesome. Nah, I learned something...I never really thought about tea as it relates to sushi, especially eating at the counter versus the tables. Interesting, man. :applaud:

^ Well homemade as far as the packaging of the tea... They didn't grow their own tea. :mrgreen:

But yeah, I was impressed with that and their homemade teriyaki, which they would not give me the recipe... A family-only recipe, apparently.

I feel ya...still it's impressive.

Homemade teriyaki to boot? That's awesome, man. I might have to check this joint out one of these days.
