Monthly Update
It seems about par for the course that I post to LJ once a month or so. First things first: not a fan of this new layout but like all changes we get used to it, I suppose ( Read more... ) -
Burgle burgle
Been buying way to many games lately. I'm starting new ones before I finish ones I've already started. I still need to revisit and finish Forza Horizon, Dishonored, Binary Domain, and a few others I'm sure I'm forgetting. Dylan acquired Ghost Recon Future Soldier and tells me he'll be upgrading to Gold membership soon, so I'll be jumping back in ( Read more... ) -

Games
Well, we traded in the Kinect today, along with my wife's DSi XL. I asked her how she felt at the idea of trading the Kinect and at first she was against it. She enjoyed the Kinect, but the entire time we've owned it we haven't had sufficient space for it to work properly. We haven't used it in well over a year.

Vacay

Borderlands 2

I still have to play through the last DLC, Claptrap's Robot Revolution. I maintained separate game saves for solo play, with my wife, my brother, and Steven. So, so, so many hours went in ( Read more... ) -
In Memorium: Alexandra
Today's September 11. This memorial has never really affected me on a personal level as I was fortunate not to have any friends or family there. It was a tragedy and I don't mean for my post here to belittle the memory of those who lost their lives that day. However, today will now forever mark the anniversary of something deeply personal to me ( Read more... ) -
Revisiting Fallout
Been playing a lot of Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas as a bit of a primer before getting in to the original PC trilogy (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout Tactics) that Mandy was kind enough to get me. (editor's note: I haven't forgotten about you! Toss some stuff you'd like on your wish list. You have like, all the freakin' Nancy Drew games!)
I feel ( Read more... ) -
