So this weekend, we actually went somewhere! In case you didn't know, my family hardly goes anywhere, so this summer so far has been kinda dull. Thankfully, we actually did something Sunday.
We drove down to Virginia to go to the Luray Caverns. It's a large commercial cave that was discovered in 1878 that goes way underground and is filled with different cave formations (stalagmites, stalactites, mirrored pools, etc). It was simply awesome. It took us about an hour to get through the whole thing, and it was really cool seeing all of the different aspects of its interior. I've uploaded some photos below. I took a crazy amount of pictures while we were there, but most of them were pretty generic, and Giant Bomb's image editor is pretty hard to work with.
Besides that, I played some games. I got back into Oblivion, and I'm almost at an S rank for that game. Just finishing up the Thieves Guild, which is a pain. Also, I downloaded the Batman: Arkham Asylum demo, convinced I would hate it, and I was shocked to see how fun the game was. Combat was satisfying, the controls were easy, and the visuals were impressive. Voice acting was a little awkward, but other than that I was really surprised by the quality of the game so far. I'm considering picking it up later this month when it comes out. Finally, I spent 800 points on Map Pack 3 for World At War. The new multiplayer maps are terrible, but the Zombie map, Der Riese, is a lot of fun.
EDIT: Got featured review!

Batman: AA is pretty awesome, but the demo is stupid short
" @natetodamax: Why does your father look so furious? "He never smiles in pictures. It's quite funny, actually. Just look at this one I took of him:
Those pictures look pretty cool, glad to see you finally got to go somewhere. Congrats on getting the featured review too, you earned it! The AA demo makes me really want the game. It's a lot of fun.
