Or is that speed up? Everyone seems busy, the blogosphere has gotten pretty quiet. I didn’t think I was one of the quiet ones, but it turns out it’s looking that way ever since I got an XBOX 360! I’ve been playing a lot of Viva Piñata, and Gears of War.
Of course the wife has been playing Hexic and I got her Bejeweled 2 on XBOX Live Arcade. She’s also got her own Piñata garden.
Last night we tried out the Sonic demo, which was alright — Sonic runs so fast at times we ran him right off a cliff. We also tried out the LEGO Star Wars II demo, which was an insane amount of fun. The wife’s been bugging me about what to get me for Xmas, and I figure that might be a good one.
In more writing related news, I tried out a nifty new note-taking and To Do web app with integrated calendar called Stikkit. Made myself a story To Do list and set the due date for December 31st. This’ll give me motivation to do more than play the 360 over the Christmas break. It’s a pretty nifty free web app, check it out!
P.S. My 360 gamertag is Redchurch77 if any of you are playing.
Must…play…Gears of War…
I find it fascinating what draws our attention. My brother–like you–loves games. Me I remember playing them as a child, but they never held my interest for too long and by the time I’d hit high school I was completely oblivious to game playing.
How ever I have my own quirks–there are certain things I love to do in my ‘free time’.
Enjoy your games! And hopefully Santa brings you a few more :D
PS: Your sonic guy running off cliff comments makes me laugh. Reminds me of the Natindo (sp) Super Mario game. I usued to constantly run off cliffs (unintentionally :))
It’s important to make time for fun. You are blessed to have a wife that shares in your gaming interests! Have a great holiday Eric!
I don’t know if she shares the interest. She’s not much into games herself. But she IS nice enough to play and try things out, and yes that’s a blessing. :)
Have a great Christmas!
