We haven’t been as formal about telling everyone that Lisa is pregnant; if you’re reading this and finding out for the first time, surprise! I’ll write more at length soon, but for the time being – First: I’m terrified. There isn’t a book or article or tv show that doesn’t go into depth of how [...]
For whatever reason, I had difficulty playing this game the first time through; I started playing again last week and whipped through and finally finished it today. This is one of the very few games that makes me forget I’m playing the Wii. It’s a very specific niche title, destined to sell less than 500K [...]
I finally played as Manchester United. The difference is night and day. I went online, and played a very tight game against FC Barcelona (ultimately lost 3-1). The kicker? I won the time of possession, 63% to 37%, and had two fewer shots on net. The shots on target? Three (as opposed to the other [...]
Thanks to Goozex, and thanks to Ray and Diane: That’s the Wiimotion Plus, VT2k9, Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Assassin’s Creed. I’m not thrilled by VT2k9. Both control schemes are incredibly lacking; without the motion plus, you don’t get the drop-dead easy system that was used in Sega Superstars Tennis (powered by the VT3 engine). With [...]
Verizon called me yesterday, out of the blue. On my cell phone. Why? Because they were calling all their VIP subscribers and they noticed that I was texting without a texting plan. They offered to put it on my account for $5 a month. I find this wrong on so many levels, I’m feeling kind [...]
I dropped 600 points on goozex (roughly $30 usd) for this game; I kind of wanted to not like it becuase it cost so much (Fallout 3 was 750 points). But damn it, I love it. First, let me briefly go over Mario: Strikers Charged. I played a couple of matches which were pretty fun, [...]
The basement is a tale of two rooms: one is absolutely trashed, the other is cleaning up nicely. The trashed room is where the pool table is; Nora likes playing hide and seek amongst the boxes. The other room is quite big – I’ve carbon dated when we abandoned the room to September 2007, as [...]
I’ve gone through a stack of linux OSes since last writing about the lack of chrome; two days later, a chrome alpha appeared. Given that chrome is on the horizon, I decided to take a look at linux again in earnest. The distros I tried are: arch, vector linux, ubuntu 9.04, xubuntu 9.04 and debian [...]
Nothing to do with running, though. I haven’t run in three days; two due to rain, one due to a balky ankle. Caution is the name of the game here. Lisa has joined in on the cleaning the laundry room game. It’s pretty interesting the kind of stuff that got buried in there. Denby has [...]
That’s what we are, I’ve decided. I spent the last hour working on the laundry room, which we apparently abandoned back sometime in early 2007. It’s gotten to the point that there was only a short path to and from the washer and dryer, and nothing else. I’m absolutely amazed at how much stuff piled [...]
