I tried to play a little of Lone Survivor while Steph was out tonight. It's a 2-d horror game with very pixelated graphics. I don't do well with scary games, even with a kitty in my lap to keep me warm. I just freak out too easily. I barely got through the tutorial, and then I started walking through a bloody hole in the wall, and it just kept ( Read more... )

Oh, how things change!

A short six years ago, Stephie and I spent a day and a half camping outside Wal-Mart in order to get a launch Wii system. This weekend, however, we preordered our system months in advance, and Gamestop doesn't do midnight launches for Nintendo products, so we picked it up shortly after 11AM. Anti-climactic! Doubly so when ( Read more... )

Last night, Stephanie and I went to the World of Warcraft: Mists of Panderia midnight release. Since we don't play the first person shooter blockbusters like Halo and Call of Duty, midnight releases have been rarer and rarer for us. Gamestop doesn't do midnight releases for Pokemon games ( Read more... )

I've completely mastered Chrono Trigger DS! I've seen all of the endings, I've fought all of the enemies, and I've collected all of the items, except for six. (Those items are only available through a random number generator in a pet-battling mini game that wasn't in the original game, and after going an entire hour without getting any of them, I ( Read more... )

Hi, viewers ( Read more... )

I'm not a big fan of attention or fuss, so this birthday was a good one. Stephanie and I joined the local happy hour group from work, along with some folks from the guild who happened to be in town, and I got a tequila sunrise (meh), a shot of birthday cake (mmm), and a shot of patron tequila (surprisingly shootable). And, we ran a Wrath of the ( Read more... )

We had a pair of brand new DDR pads boxed up in our closet, and we finally unboxed them and played DDR last night. I haven't played DDR since the last time I popped a ligiment my big toe while playing it. Remember, now that I brought DDR to my wedding. It's not like I'm any good at it, but I really enjoy it. Playing last night reminded me how ( Read more... )

My game du jour is Brogue. Brogue is a Roguelike, or "a game like Rogue". Rogue was one of the early offshoots of the Adventure genre; a graphical adventure game back when drawing with text was an advanced technique. In Rogue, your character was an @, all the objects on the ground were symbols, monsters were lower and upper case letters, and the ( Read more... )

I'm tired, I'm cold, and I'm on call, but hey! I have Livejournal access at work again. For some reason. I don't understand their roulette of banning and unbanning. But anywho ( Read more... )

Heyo. It's been quite a time ( Read more... )
