One more off the list.

Finished “Lego Star Wars II” last weekend, an experience that was, well, a bit of a downer.  The first game may be been based on the lesser movies, but it was a lot more fun.

Important Milestones.

I reached an important, nay, critical moment in PS3 ownership this week. Our local “Fred Meyer’s” had the collector’s edition of “Stranglehold” on clearance for $24.95, with all clearance items being discounted an additional 20%. So now I own my … Continue reading

Curse you, Penguin-hugging girl.

I can’t figure out how to unlock Miyuri in the free battle mode in Suchie Pai III Remix for the DS. Apart from that, I’ve beaten the game with every character and gotten their “good” ending, so I think I … Continue reading

This won’t help my GPA any…

Started Puzzle Quest today. I just lost four hours. It was just after 7 PM at latest the last time I looked at a clock and now it’s pushing midnight. And my stylus elbow hurts like crazy. I’m blaming aliens. … Continue reading

Jumpin’ Jack Flash IS, in fact, a gas, gas, gas.

One of the first Nintendo DS games I bought was Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, and it is a glorious game.  I spent far too many hours playing it and then going back to songs and trying to get higher ranks on … Continue reading
