Ditto. (Also, hey, I'm second! Neat!)
Chestnuts roasted by CG @ 06/04/2005 11:38 PM EST

Chestnuts roasted by CG @ 06/04/2005 11:39 PM EST
You're third, but you're here. That's all that counts.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/04/2005 11:39 PM EST
Matt, how's life treating you?
You happy?
Does it get better?

I'm trying to come up with excuses not to take games back to Family Video. "I'm reading an article on X-E" always sounds good.
Chestnuts roasted by Punisher Bass @ 06/04/2005 11:48 PM EST
oops...he left FOR military training...sorry... 
Chestnuts roasted by Maria @ 06/04/2005 11:48 PM EST
It gets better, then sometimes it gets worse, but not as worse as before, because it'd already gotten a bit better.
We were so bored tonight, we decided to drive into another city just to visit a fucking Walmart.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/04/2005 11:48 PM EST
Bizzar: I'm not going to hold off too much longer, but I'm actually waiting for the sets to arrive from the PR company -- should be this week.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/04/2005 11:49 PM EST
Matt, did you see any interesting mutants while there? The wally world around here is a virtual freak show.
Chestnuts roasted by Punisher Bass @ 06/04/2005 11:51 PM EST
Can you keep the Christmas stuff up for a few more weeks and have Christmas in July? That would rock!
Chestnuts roasted by Maria @ 06/04/2005 11:55 PM EST
I'm always home on saturdays, too broke to go anywhere, and I actually did laundry tonight! Is that bad? I would have no clue because of my fogged up logic. I also read the paragraph in the hit list in stuff about Matt. I love you man (and I'm a girl)
Chestnuts roasted by Goob @ 06/04/2005 11:55 PM EST
Maria: It's looking like that might end up happening, but not on purpose. :0
Earlier today, we were out shopping (a theme that kept returning throughout the day...like I said, we were bored) at Best Buy. I craved DVDs. Picked up Garfield and Friends Season 2, and Freddy Vs. Jason. Bringing this combination up to the register, I could've sworn I saw the checkout girl hitting one of those mystery under-desk buttons usually reserved for armed robbery.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/04/2005 11:58 PM EST
I'm here because I just finished watching Iron Chef. There's logic in there somewhere.
Chestnuts roasted by Jessica @ 06/05/2005 12:11 AM EST
Man, you either have a huge credit card limit or your doing pretty good for yourself Matt. I mean, you spent all that money at the horror convention and now the shopping that took place today. Has anyone noticed that? Or maybe I just desperately need a good job. 'sigh' Hey I have wanted to be a cartoonist my whole life, my high school teachers said I was pretty talented, so hopefully you can work something out for me Matt? Or not.
Chestnuts roasted by Goob @ 06/05/2005 12:32 AM EST

Chestnuts roasted by Ant @ 06/05/2005 12:35 AM EST
I was reading your really REALLY old archives. Robert Berry wasn't entertaining for me.
Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 06/05/2005 12:35 AM EST
I'd give anything to have tomorrow (which is today, I guess) be Saturday and not Sunday.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/05/2005 12:36 AM EST
and yea I have noticed you buy a lot of stuff, mostly off eBay and thrift stores but still...way more spending money than most of us I'm sure...dang you and your "made-it-big" status...
We were all there in the humble beginnings and when you become president of the world I hope you cut us a tax break
Chestnuts roasted by Ant @ 06/05/2005 12:39 AM EST
sorry, that sounded rude. He just seemed to write on things before my time. I did enjoy your review on the villians of Super Mario Bros.
Chestnuts roasted by kb @ 06/05/2005 12:43 AM EST
Because I just got off of work and am too exhausted to go party. Bleh, 21 and I'm already old! 
Chestnuts roasted by Blazer @ 06/05/2005 12:44 AM EST
I am here because I need something interesting to read while I eat.
I have no money to party-->sad
And pretty much all want and need to work has somewhat left me for tonight...maybe it'll come back, I don't know.
Chestnuts roasted by The Cause @ 06/05/2005 12:58 AM EST
Because I'm always on the net on Saturday nights 
I have nothing better to do. It's 10:10 in my time zone I'm waiting for a repeat of Madtv to come on in an hour.
Chestnuts roasted by pikachulover @ 06/05/2005 01:11 AM EST
Well, it's a commercial break during Monk, my g/f is in the bath...and I'm waiting for the new layout. I don't know if it will make me happy or sad, so I'm anxious and I've been hitting the refresh button all damn day.
Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 06/05/2005 01:20 AM EST
I am here because I am bored. I am here because I have a collection of video games worth almost 7000 dollars. I am here because I am broke. I am here because I am an enormous fan of yours. I am here, 'cuz I'm not all there...
Chestnuts roasted by DocDragon @ 06/05/2005 01:21 AM EST
I just got back from vacation...I drove damn near 700 miles today from South Carolina to Ohio. I've been gone a week, and it's STILL Christmas at X-E!!! Oh well...I've been living off jambalaya, pork ribs and margaritas for the past seven days, so I can't complain.
Chestnuts roasted by The Yeti @ 06/05/2005 01:22 AM EST
Stupid Christmas. We're still having trouble getting the new layout looking OK on all browsers (which is incredible because it's by and large a simpler layout, nothing too fancy), but I think we'll at least have the blog rolling in it by the weekend's suffix.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/05/2005 01:24 AM EST
I'm here because there's nothing better to do around here. And I have to get up early for work tomorrow. Blah!

Michelob Ultra is a lot better at 2 AM than it was at 12.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/05/2005 02:00 AM EST
Watching "Looney Tunes" marathon on Boomerang....and looking forward to your next article. It's about Star Jones, right Matt?
Chestnuts roasted by Jason @ 06/05/2005 02:00 AM EST
i just got home, i was out @ this lantern tour where i got to join the conferate army of the usa. fun in the sun! yay oh yay! yeah so anyway i figured i'd check out old x-entertainment at 2 o'clock in the morning and see what's happening.

Chestnuts roasted by scourge @ 06/05/2005 02:02 AM EST
The next article isn't about Star Jones, but I think she'd like the topic anyway.

Must be about Twinkies...

Why am I always here?
Best friend is in Maine right now. I was gonna ask her to bring me some Lobster and Pepsi, but thought that may be pushing it.
That's my fav article, btw. Full Corey Haim video diary review is a close second.
Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 06/05/2005 02:18 AM EST
To be fair, the Corey review makes me laugh harder than anything else in the world.
Bar Harbor is, I dunno, more nostolgic (how? I've never been there.) and mysterious. And that is the destination of the road trip I have been planning (unsuccessfully) in my head.
Thank you Matt for making me want to visit a desolate ghost town. No seriously.
I mean right now its full of life and people and stuff and what's the fun in that?
Chestnuts roasted by Knegative @ 06/05/2005 02:33 AM EST
My friends and I were just talking about that Maine trip. We want to go back someday. Long friggin' drive, but it's definitely a nice place to be. Coronas on the rocks high above the crashing waves with nobody else in sight -- only thing that beats that is a freshly murdered lobster without a pound of green shit hiding inside.

Chestnuts roasted by RichardGere @ 06/05/2005 02:43 AM EST

Chestnuts roasted by _ @ 06/05/2005 02:47 AM EST
I'm always here on Saturday nights, but I'm usually the only one...sometimes I do catch articles fresh from the oven, which is nice.
If anybody wants to they can click here to see my adorable new puppy. Just picked him up from the airport yesterday and he is so tiny and cute I could just die.
Matt, if you're still up and reading: I've got a lot to thank X-E for...over the years it's given me hours of entertainment and inspiration but what I most want to thank you for right at this specific moment (still pretty close to 11:30 over here) is helping me realize how fucking awesome Golden Girls is. Seriously, I hadn't watched that show in years and if it wasn't for X-E I never would have started watching again and would have missed out on the greatness of Saint Olaf and horny old lady jokes.
Thank you for being a friend...
Chestnuts roasted by squee4242 @ 06/05/2005 02:51 AM EST
Thanks, Squee! It's always nice when people say things that -- OH MY GOD YOUR DOG LOOKS LIKE A BABY EWOK. Good show!
Speaking of good shows, GG season 2 is either out now or coming very soon. With the Mario Lopez episode.
Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 06/05/2005 02:57 AM EST
Re: Michelob Ultra tasting better at 2 than at 12.
That made me think that they should make a Michelob Extreme(!) to match all the other etreme crap out there. Which made me wonder what they could do to make it extreme. I decided they should find a way to suspend pop rocks in it so it explodes in your mouth.
Chestnuts roasted by Mara @ 06/05/2005 03:20 AM EST
Sweet, you have the Garfield DVD set! Or at least one of them. They lack DVD extras though. For those, go here! Yep, I made it myself....
Chestnuts roasted by Mars @ 06/05/2005 03:29 AM EST
Ohhhh yesssss, season 2 is out! And I hate that damn ep. I always cringe when Mario calls Dorothy "Teach". I then laugh hysterically when he gets deported! hahaha!
They never show the first ep. of season 2 on Lifetime. It's the one where they raise minks that are too old to mate. I like that one a lot. Plus on DVD, every episode has the full opening. The extras are shit, but it's just enough to have every single episode!
Sorry about the GGG (Golden Girls Gushing) but it's late, I'm high, and the computer is not overheating. So's I can type!
Chestnuts roasted by kidneyboy @ 06/05/2005 03:30 AM EST
Thanks, he is a cutie pie.
Looks like GG Season 2 is out, and that it skimps on the extras as much as S1 did....apparently Mario Lopez isn't a big enough name for them to bother listing him as a guest star on Amazon...though I guess it doesn't exactly fit: Reynolds, Clooney, Lopez?!?
Speaking of WalMart, I've been a little skeeved to go into our local one, as it was the site of an unfortunate incident this past week...not sure if it made the national news or not but it's been a big story here.

Chestnuts roasted by Super_dex @ 06/05/2005 04:42 AM EST
The Multi-Headed Tia-Matt,
I'd like to know if your job is going well...
I really liked the horror-con story...
I laughed my ass off when I saw the Besty Palmer signed severed head pic (wearing the same sweater...)
How surreal...
On dutch absinthe none-the-less...
You're my Hero!

I love your site.

Love the interaction Matt, wish I was up for it.

Sorry I missed Matt Chat '05 last night

Speaking of Garfield on DVD, if anyone remembers the old Garfield special "Garfield: His 9 Lives", it just got released on the "Garfield Fantasies" DVD.
Chestnuts roasted by Luap @ 06/05/2005 11:57 AM EST
Hail!
Quoted:
"Earlier today, we were out shopping (a theme that kept returning throughout the day...like I said, we were bored) at Best Buy. I craved DVDs"
Ah ha. Well, I've got an article for you Matt. The timing is impecible..... click here
You've actually inspired me to write it.
Chestnuts roasted by Novaximus @ 06/05/2005 12:18 PM EST
Man! I missed everything! And I was up too! My husband and I networked our computers together and we were up playing Diablo together (we did it when we were dating, so it's kind of a thing for us.) I went to bed around 3:15, but then I ended up oversleeping for church and now I feel really bad (there's something about missing church because you were playing DIABLO that makes you feel extra guilty.)
So, if I had been on the site, the answer I would have given would be...
Because even if there isn't a new article, somebody's probably posted something interesting on the blog and I always feel that if I go too long without visiting, I've probably missed something cool. That's why I try to visit at least once a day.
As much as I love the articles (and I really do), it's awesome to have a site where the bloggers can keep it going between new additions. I love you guys...

Oh, kb, you are right, Robert Berry just didn't quite have it, thank goodness for Matt! The only article Robert did a good job on was a review of "I love you forever", which is a kids book. Other than that, you are right.

Actually, its Monday at 8:03 pm, and I have to go to bed in 3 hours and 27 minutes so I'll get up at 4:30 am for my CBS internship.
That's right 4:30 am. I have to take a train that leaves at 6:50 am. If I dont get there on time, I dont get to work on time. I have to make a connecting 7:43 am train to Philly, but if I miss that, next one is in 5 minutes--I missed it last Tuesday.
It also appears I have "Garfield Syndrome"--I dont intern on Mondays...or Fridays. I know, Garfield only hates Mondays, but it seems like it rains every Friday around here--I'm glad I dont have to commute in torrential downpours, although my first week of internship was cold and yucky, and I had to wear pants. I dont like wearing pants in May. Yuck. thank goodnes for warm temps.
I hope your Tuesdays are as good as mine will be--I'll think of this site when I am learning director's duties. Actually, I'll be on it on Friday on my NEXT day off!!!!!!!!!!!!!
