I missed out on Xenoblade Chronicles and now the closest copy is about 100 miles from my house. So, I decided to not miss out on another Wii game that deserves my attention. Not only that, it will be my first true JRPG. Even at my advanced age, I never took the plunge during its heyday. Here we go!
This 48 year old still knows how to party according to my video. Actually, I was testing out my new camera. I'm the bald headed guy and the other dude in yellow is my younger brother. Just having some fun. Oh, and I turned 48. Still playing them games. Peace.

Happy Endings are sublime. They don't come as often as you think. When the credits roll, you know you've trolled...the game. Win!
I wrote this for some friends of facebook and me. Mostly it's just a reflection of the last six months after my wife's death. I thought I would share with you guys.
On May 9th, six months ago, I lost my wife of almost twenty years to a stroke. Her health had been failing throughout the years as thirty years of Lupus had taken its toll. As her journey in this life came to an end, mine was ready to begin, anew. I had no idea how her death would effect me. The repercussions of our relationship still live strong in me and bring me many mixed emotions. Ours was a complicated relationship, one of lovers, partners, care giving and best friends. After Mary died, I did what I had to do to make sure my bills were paid. I did other things to make my space more mine, but she's everywhere still. I smell her. I see her. I hear her. Mary Glen was a towering presence in my life. Sometimes, I was afraid to come out of her shadow, other times, I wished to break free of her influence. I'm free now. I have no choice but to be.
Through the joy of a great friendship renewed and being seen through a looking glass they call Skype, I saw how I was also destroying my own body. I quit smoking, chewing tobacco, started exercising and eating healthy on a regular basis back in June and July. I've lost almost 30 lbs. I've got a job, temporary, but it seems it will become permanent. My life is mine. It's all mine. I can't go back. The last fantasy of a life that I clung to is dead.
I wish to do plays and play in the theater. But I have bills to pay, for now, but my life is far from over. I will play the play again. I will act out. I will be.
I'm good. I'm getting better and will grow to be an individual beyond that which I even knew. The second half of my life is just beginning.
For you, my video game loving brethren.
I still play video games, but what do they all mean anymore. I play them now because I did in the past. I still haven't found that one that has caught my attention, especially after my wife's death. I just play them to play them. Dishonored was cool, but seemed like it ran its course for way to long. I'm playing Assassin's Creed 3 now and it seems like an interesting game with a bunch of stuff I could give two shits about. Maybe Hitman will do the trick. As it turns out, I'm not getting a Wii U as of now, so fuck it. Video Games.... I keep buying them, because that's what I do. Maybe a video game needs to find me. It happens. Keep on playing.
Fuck You
Video bullshit motherfucker otherwise...
We love them. We play them. We pay them. We come back for more.
If ever I describe my feelings of longevity stop me, but Dishonored was full of ripe love wasted on a few missteps of love misinterpreted. Love me long, but don't whiskey dick my ass. But I will replay with nothing but supreme chaos intended.
When will I show my finishing move in any video game lore such as Mark of the Ninja, when I plan on it, that's when. Seriously, there's something wrong with Mark of the Ninja's save system. Damn, fuck it. Maybe I'm too simple to grasp it. It's just too big for me.
I once played a game to just play it.
Anno sounds dirty so we Americans call it Dawn of Discovery. But 1404 is the size of my adventure reacquainted. Sometimes the pleasure gets to be too much with micromanagement and all, but the outcome is pure joy.
On the cheap side of town: NBA 2K11...now playing on the other side of the tracks. Civ Rev...speaking of other side, dark side.
Batman: Arkham City ain't that good. Not feeling it. I haven't been returning phone calls.
Why do PC players bitch about people playing PC games with an Xbox 360 controller? Hell, it's the PC...Personal Choice.
So much to finish, when do we really finish. This blog is done.

Don't look at me. Don't you fucking look at me. I'm playing video games...
Mark of the Ninja is killer in every aspect of its being. Being played by me of course. Play me, just play me, it says.
The runs. They're nasty no matter the take. You piss out your ass and seem to piss away any nutrition in return. What you buy is always a mistake.
Quick look, quick fix, fun for points and no return. Unless you know the pun. Fun...
The Walking Dead is worth every wait. Every moment is a pure take in a world where gameplay takes place.
To play, to play the game, marks your grave.
Market, that's us, mark it.
I ain't no fool, but I've been fooled. I know when a game is good or bad and when it's my fault on the prior.
It's hard to get into games when you're just searching for that...something. Trials Evolution...something. It's a video game.
I'm not sure where I am now with my gaming. It's such a hit and miss. Nothing has a taste anymore. Except The Walking Dead.
Should I pull the trigger on the next...?
Video Games
To play the game. That's the thing.
To finish is another game among itself.
I've played and loved many.
Mass Effect 3 rocked as I played it with the future ventures so fuck you other motherfuckers. I finished just fine, thank you.
Call of Pripyat was a pleasure but not beyond the Shadow of Chernobyl.
Witcher 2 was a pleasure among the few that brought pleasure to a few that bought this pleasure.
Video games are becoming secondary as my love for others and life become evolved.
You gamers have seen it all before. As I grow, I lose interest. Claude now lives on the Darkside. Absolutes have become my favor....favour....
Please excuse me as I browse video games. But still play video games.
On the Dark Side...
My Wii will turn on but there's no menu screen. It's dead Jim. It's dead. I might send it in to Nintendo. You know, because I still play my Wii.
*Update*
Nintendo is going to fix it for free. Go Nintendo!
