Oh my

Back from my extended stay at home for the holiday, and still about five days of not having to work ahead of me.
Joy!

I picked me up some new Virtual Console games on my Wii on christmas, Super Mario Brothers (it's a classic, I just had to) and R-Type. I now remember how very very bad I am at playing R-Type. But still fun as ever. One of those games where you mess up and get very angry at yourself and the game, but can't stop playing anyway.

Got a little bit of Wii Sports action in with the family around, but everyone had to take off around noon on Monday (having arrived Saturday night for christmas at grandma's), so not a whole lot. Seems like Jess got hooked... and I still beat her in tennis! I only wish I had a picture of her trying to serve the ball with her free-of-a-Wiimote left hand.

I'm really impressed with Nintendo for creating a system that non-gamers have so much fun with. Kudos.

Oh, and Jess.. by the time I get up there for a visit I'm sure you'll have your own Wii!

Anyway, to the end of this somewhat "normal" post. If any other family members discover me here... don't expect too many posts that make any sense!

Wow!

It's kind of weird, but I just found out the other day that my buddy Karnatos actually found AggroMe from my Three Wizards blog! Or at least.. so he says. That's pretty neat, considering I started these things because of Aggro...

Anyway, news like this: I decided to go ahead and get a second account. The idea was to be able to play two at the same time. Well I don't exactly have another computer at the moment that can play EQ2. Oh well, it's all beside the point. The crew at Aggro Forums decided to start up with EQ2 again (after our latest kick with CoV died out and we kind of just stopped playing stuff) with the release of Echoes of Faydwer. We made characters on Crushbone (where the majority of them already play anyway) and I have been having a blast. I think it has something to do with... actually having something to do, and fun people around to just chew the fat with. We even got Aggro himself to start up a new character with us. Apparently he got away from the girls just long enough to say hi in-game!

Well enough of that. It's good to actually be somewhat excited about the game again, rather than log in, see no one I really know/people who talk to me are on.. then log out.

In Real Life® news........ nothing! The holiday break is coming up (end of this week) and I get some 1.5 weeks off with pay. Not bad, I guess. When I come back I'll finally be working the hours I was hired for: 12-8:30 or 10-8:30 (if I decide to do four 10 hour days, which is probably going to happen).
Looking forward to going back to the parents' place with my Wii when more people are around. They had so much fun with Wii Sports last time, but now we'll have the rest of the family there as well!
