What are we playing?

- Metroid Prime (GC)
- Super Mario 64 DS (NDS)


I'm really enjoying Metroid Prime, but I don't get a lot of time at home to play. I have bits of time more often away from home - on the train, waiting for the girls to finish gymnastics etc. So I get a lot more time in on portable gaming. I have the Nintendo DS and would consider putting money on a PSP, if they ever came out with some games that interested me.

The good thing is that I missed the early console era, so all the old Nintendo games are new to me on the NDS.

The Bard's Tale - the recent comedy version, not the classics.
And Sudoku.

Sudoku. I don't quite get to do one a day, but I will go on spurts where I will do three (hard/fiendish difficulty preferred) while I'm trying to relax enough to go to sleep. Apparently I have to have a certain minimum number of neurons fire before I get tired.

God of War lately on the PS2, although I hosed another Dualshock controller, so I have to go to the store. I have been told that the problem is from kinking the cord, so a wireless setup might be necessary. I have to unearth my GameBoy Advance ... I don't play with it often enough.

Sudoku and online poker.

I gave Second Life a shot, but it didn't do much for me. I went as far as renting some land and buying a house. If anybody does SL PM me & I'll give you the house if you want it!

two games, currently: god of war, which is downright amazing. i just made it to the last room in pandora's temple.....i love gratuitious violence. and.........

might and magic III, because i'm fast becoming a retro geek. my friend had this game in high school and i always wanted to play it, but at that time i had no computer. i found the torrent for this and a huge collection of other old games. i'm a role playing game dork. i think i may even work my way through the series (I to IX!).

WoW. I want to try Eve Online, but I'm currently addicted to getting to Blackwing Lair in warcraft.

I finished the Bard's Tale - Fun endings.
Started Quake 4. Eh, more of the same FPS stuff. Well done, but nothing new so far.

Awaiting Oblivion... The game, not the "Final Choices" fodder.

Just beat Zelda - Majora's mask again.

Pogo.com has a daily on-line sudoku.
