Good afternoooooooooooooooooooooon!
It's been a lil' over a week since the Big Move, and things couldn't be better. I'm (finally) completely settled: no more building stuff, no more unpacking from boxes. Nothing. I can sit back and enjoy. Being 30 minutes from work is awesome; I can take my time without having to worry about missing a bus or have the metro stall for an hour. It's wonderful! Plus, I'm getting some exercise (not that I wasn't doing that when I was living at home, but I do enjoying walking alot). And most of all: it's nice and quiet. My buddies go out whenever they want, so I'm left to my own devices. I would go out, but it looks like I won't be doing much of that for the time being...
... mainly because of my new toy:
So, I'm now living in the future. And it looks awesome. Really, I can actually READ the bloody text in Puzzle Quest now! That's HUGE, since before I was playing everything on my lil' but loyal 13" CRT (which my dad has happily adopted and is using for his own nefarious purposes). I hooked up the 360 with the HDMI cable, while my PS2, SNES and NES are all hooked up to a System Changer via AV cables. If I were a more clever girl, I would've gone on the hunt for Component cables for my PS2 and use those instead. I could probably find some, but it'll be a lil' tricky to plug in back there: the Mount isn't of the swivel kind and although there's space back there, I don't think it'll be enough to wiggle in wires. I'll need one of the "men" in the house to help me out. *sigh*
BACK ON LIVE WITH A VENGEANCE... AND COOKIES
So now that everything's set, I can go back to playing console games. First place to go: Xbox Live. Although I can't go back to play DDR and get my missing Achievements (well, maybe I could, but I would have to play songs that don't require jumping, or turn the jump arrows off altogether), I can finish up the other games with full clarity...
That was until I saw my buddy Kazona with a new game: Geometry Wars 2! O_o' Having enjoyed the first one immensely, I felt compelled to download it adn give it a try, which led to
I'm also shocked with how high my scores are. I would like to think that it's because I actually have skills, but deep down I know that's not the case. With all those points mulitplyers floating around, it makes it easy to rack up the points. So, I'll change that thought to: I'm surprised that I actually survived long enough to accumulate that many points. Yeah, that's better.
Now that things are more normal her at home, I'll be getting quite busy. I'm thinking of writing game reviews adn posting them up for Da Bomb. Since the young 'uns got the new games covered, I think I'll review some of the older games (go with what you know, right?) Hopefully, I'll get some done in the next few weeks or so.
To finish things up, here are some more shots of my room, as promised:
I would buy a tiny bookshelf for my SNES and NES games, but this box does the trick in a
pinch. Also, Chococat and Vivi are just chillin' out next to the 360 Dance mat that I might not use for a while.
As for the PC games... I've never played them (not even once!). Maybe now I'll find the time to do so.
So now that my fingers are about to fall off, I think I should stop. Sorry for the extra-long entry, kids :)
Toodles! XD
