Old Fashioned
A trip to the doctor’s office today resulted in some further examinations required to figure out exactly what’s bugging The Wife. In the meantime, in order to make herself feel a little better, we’ve turned to something sorely lacking in the current generation of consoles and made a surprisingly late purchase of what, for us, [...]
Packing
Because the plane leaves at 9 am tomorrow.
It’s pretty doubtful that we’ll get any sleep between then and now, and also unlikely that I, at least, will manage to sleep on the plane (I can’t seem to sleep in sitting position, no matter how much the chairs recline), so it’s going to be the usual [...]
Done
Resident Evil 5 has been finished and it was tons of fun. It didn’t always necessarily feel like an RE game, which was a little sad, but it was a well crafted experience, if a bit cheap towards the end.
Nerd Party
What else can you say? Streetfighter IV and people screaming over Resident Evil 5 makes for an incredibly embarassing get together if you’re not similarly geeky yourself. Fun had by all.

More Friends
Or friend, to be more precise, as yet another old aquaintance from university dropped by Toronto for a visit. Walks along Bloor, perusing of various shops and yes, more Rock Band 2 occurred. Also we took the cats to the vet for a check up. Zero ain’t doing so hot, he’s bleeding some in his [...]
Ragnarok Cometh
Or at least in this case, it means the end of the Norse Gods in Viking: Battle for Asgard since the game is done. My initial opinion still stands; a somewhat decently entertaining game let down by an enormous lack of polish and some repetitive pacing issues. I don’t think the game could EVER have [...]
80's Nostalgia-O-Meter Activated
I admit it. I’m getting excited.

Back To The Tombs & Being A Jerk
E3 has come and gone and it was a pretty good run for all the consoles. While the Wii (as usual) is probably the weakest of the lot for hardcore gamers, it managed to acquit itself to some degree from the Wii “Vitality Sensor” (it’s a finger sensor that measures your pulse. Seriously. No, they [...]
