Would you kindly go get killed by a Big Daddy?
This post is being made all by my lonesome in my computer room fortress of solitude - Nicole's in charge of getting folks into costumes for her school's latest production. So she spends her evenings helping women into corsets. Man, some people have all the fun!
So, once again, I am locked in bachelor mode for the forseeable future, but I came prepared! First, in the background, I am attempting to be a 7 Day Survivor in Dead Rising. So right now my health is slowly depleting while I'm in a fairly safe spot, waiting for it to go down far enough for me to eat more food. The TV's on mute, though, because it turns out that Max Brooks is right - the greatest threat to your survival is indeed the drone of thousands of zombies for hours on end. All right, just ate an orange - that oughta give me about ten minutes to rant before I've gotta eat another one. Though I do have to admit, having no save points kinda blows. As much fun as Dead Rising is, every now and then I'd like to take a break to watch the DOA Extreme 2 trailer play some Live Arcade.
In other gaming news, Nicole was a sweetie and gave me my birthday present a bit early - Super Mario Galaxy! And I've gotta say - it's pretty good. W00t! Like many Nintendo games, it makes their somewhat unorthodox (to the h4rdc0r3-gamer crowd) techniques suddenly make perfect sense. I do wish that they would just replace "waggle" with "hit a button", though. I've just unlocked the "Bedroom", so odds are the next stage will involve a ménage a trois with Rosalina and Princess Peach.
Also, I got through Bioshock in two rentals. It's a superb story (that even takes time out to explain many of the forced game mechanics, no less!) but like so many things in life, is only the best the first time. Granted, I do feel kinda guilty for renting instead of buying, thus contributing exactly as much money to the developers as someone who never played the game, or pirated it (i.e.: none.) Of course, if you apply that logic to every movie or game I've ever rented, it seems downright depressing how little I've supported the artisans. So, um, don't think about that. It's like thinking about the Game. Dammit!
Welp, better cut this off - it's about time for Frank to eat another orange. Ciao!
