Here's an idea for Mark. His work on the online status of the board was spectacular. WHAT IF . . . he continued to update the picture and it was a main link on the blog sidebar. Hmmm . . . how about that . . . ?

I hope everyone had a good turkeyday. I did my usual running around to different houses and had a good time. Now that I have been adopted by so many families, and in particular the Johnsons, it is difficult to find time for all of them. So I think that I will spend more time with the families I missed this christmas (that would be the Honeycutt's and Heacox's). Hopefully that will even things out a bit.

I've been playing a good bit of games, but have had that ability cut at the throat. I have homework due monday and a test this wedesday. I also had homework due wedensday, but the CDL was closed so I couldn't hand it in. Why they would give me homework both the day before and the day after I have no idea . . . oh wait, they are evil demons that want only to fuck up my life and eat my children.

Well, at least I got to play a few games before I got stalled out. Mark and I have gotten pretty decent at killing aliens with guns, or as Mark prefers the energy sword. Halo 2 isn't as good as Halo 1 with regard to story like, and while I think they improved the engine a bit, I don't think it is a great as everyone else says that it is. But then again, we don't have live anymore since our Xbox is moded. Mark started Metroid, and said that it is hard. So hard that he can't finish the first boss. Granted Mark isn't the best videogame player, but he's good enough to get past the first boss of something, so I imagine the game is indeed hard. I wouldn't know, because my time has been sucked into the suck-gun of Ratchet and Clank:Up Your Arsenal. This game really isn't very different from the last one, there are a few new weapons of course, but the plot is great as always and like many of the sidescrollers, you don't need to have a radically different game for it to be good. The difference between this and Halo 2 is that Halo 2 was billed as being this radical improvement, and I think that it was in the multiplayer, but the co-op and single modes are the same as before. RaC:UYA is the same great game as before, but that is all they ever advertised and that is what they delivered. The plot is great as always, but the rest of the game hasn't lost a beat from the last two which I thought were two of the best games I have ever played. One cool feature that they have is when you walk into two of the shops, they give you an employee discount if you have saved data on that card from the previous two games. It is pretty cool.

Well, I think that is it. I wish there were more wacky stories to tell, but things are pretty fucking mundane right now. We'll see what life brings in the next few weeks. Out.
