Prison Break Episode 6 Recap

Intro

We’ve been waiting for it and now we have it. Haywire, his bicycle, and his football helmet all make a triumphant return to Prison Break. In another great episode, we follow each member’s progress and how they will all group up. Last week we left off with Michael, Lincoln, T-Bag, and Tweener in Utah after they bumped into each other in town. We also saw C-Note walking, Sucre riding his motorcycle, and in the episode before that Abruzzi dying. This week we see how everything shakes out and how they plan on getting to the money before Agent Mahone tracks them down.

Now that we’ve seen Haywire, what should we be looking out for next week? I’d like to see more of “The Company” since we’ve only seen glimpses of them in opposition of Kellerman. We’ve already know Quinn is dead, but where did Michael and Lincoln’s father go? How does Shales still fit into the plot? Will Bellick and Geary return? Check in next week for another exciting episode. (And check out http://www.europeangoldfinch.net to see if there are any other clues. There has to be some significance with the names and posts that makes sense in the story)

Xfire Hero Online Chat Winner!

Hero Online Chat

For the third wednesday in a row, I attended an Xfire live chat with software developers. This week’s focus is on the free MMO Hero Online. We got to chat with two GMs about just about all aspects about the game. Althouth I haven’t actually played the game yet, I got some good insight about how it is run and what makes the game unique to the many other MMOs out there. The prizes included 20 Hero Online T-Shirts (size of our choice) and 20 Hero Online Posters (all winners get one of each). The chat wasn’t as full and chaotic as most weeks so about half of the people in there won.

Prison Break Episode 5 Recap

Intro

Welcome to another week of our favorite Monday night show, Prison Break! We last left off with our old pal John Abruzzi getting killed off and the brothers escaping from captivity again. This week we rejoin the gang in the quest for Charles Westmoreland’s money hidden somewhere in Utah. Amazingly, there is still no sign of Haywire anywhere even close to Utah. Lastly we get some insight on how far Kellerman is going to go to get information on how to take-down Lincoln.

Show ▼

Check back here next week to see what happens. The pace of the show has quickened and pretty soon we’ll have everyone meeting in Utah. Will they ever find Westmorland’s money? How is Haywire going to fit into the plot? Where will everyone go after Utah? Who is Shales? Hopefully some of this will be resolved soon.

Again this past Wednesday, Xfire had another developer chat. This time it was for the newly released game Sword of the Stars.

The prizes this week were 2 Sword of the Stars posters and 10 copies of the Sword of the Stars game. I won a copy of the game!
