I opened it yesterday which leaves Metroid Prime, True Crime: Streets of LA, and Gladius unopened. I think this game is shorter than Wario World. If this were on arcade controls you would probably finish this game in 1.5 hours. It will fire as fast as you can press the fire button. Normal holding of […]

I woke up on Sunday with a lot of things to do. I started off easy, paying bills and starting laundry. Then I moved on to sorting paper recycling in preparation for a recycling run. While shredding the stuff I don’t want to just go in a recycling bin it hit the full point so […]

Nicole went to SF for the weekend for Pride. I went to work in the morning and then came home and for the directions to izzy & jim’s for izzy’s birthday party. I stopped by Fry’s on the way to get Julie’s graduation present (a way to extend their wireless network) , the new Audioslave […]

Well by tomorrow anyway. Last week I decided I didn’t really care if I finished the game so I put it up for sale on half.com. I picked it up for rediculously cheap clearance so I’m making a small profit, but mostly it’s just not too thriilling. So if I get to finish it by […]

The Revenge of the Sith novel I think it the longest of the novelization at just over 400 pages. It’s alsot he one that strays from the movie the most I think. I like reading the novelizations because you generally find out what had to be cut from the script. In this case it looks […]

Last night I watched Stripes for the first time since before college? It’s been a long time. I bought it because I remember liking it and it had deleted scenes. Image quality isn’t the greatest, no remastering of the film print here. You get all the grainy glory of a 1981 film. So how did […]

She’s always liked to burrow in to things and crawl under things. When she was a puppy I would have to get up in the middle of the night becasue she would crawl under the bed and then couldn’t get out. Anyway, when we removed all the bricks from the planters Nicole made a 4-brick […]

Saw this on Friday night. I’m not sure why it received such a low rating on the imdb. There are so many worse movie and this one is pretty fun. Especially when they are speaking in Ks. I guess the main complaint people might have is that the ending is a little weak. Something a […]

This morning I got up and Nicole and I cleaned out the RV. Then I re-assembled the dining table and went on to finally install Darlene’s bathroom cabinet. I did leave out the shelves since Dar should decide where they go. There are instructions for that too so I’ll help when she decides. I still […]

After finishing Sphinx I decided I needed to open another still sealed game that I picked up at extreme bargain prices and Wario World was it. I’ve never played Wario game before so I don’t know what it’s about but in this case it’s like a 2D side scroller where you beat things up and […]
