After living without an Internet connection for over a month, it’s fairly intimidating to venture back out into this world. It’s almost as if this whole other world has gone by without me, and I feel like a ginormous dick for missing out on it – but that’s just my luck, I guess.

You would think that I would have something important to talk about, since I have been gone for a whole month, but nothing noteworthy has really happened, except for the fact that I’m living with my Dad for good now. Out of the blue, my Dad told me that my Mom would be moving to Jutland with her new boyfriend, because she wanted to check up on my older brother and see her family some more. I can understand that, but I just can’t fathom why she didn’t tell me instead of my Dad telling me. It’s not even THAT big of a deal for me; I like spending time with my Dad – especially now that he has got his life straightened out – and I really missed the times we had together, even if he was wasted the 80% of the time.

Anyway, casting that whole debacle aside, there has only been one noteworthy thing in my gaming time, and that is the Dualshock 3. Yes, I bought one. I needed a new controller, so the only logical way would be to buy the Dualshock 3 instead of the SIXAXIS, and boy am I glad I did. Before I bought it I had some speculations as to whether the rumble was enough to justify purchasing a controller that costs the same as two SIXAXIS controllers, and I can safely say: Yes, it is. So far I only have one game that supports rumble, and that is Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. The game makes terrific use of the rumble function, and the added trophy support gives me the incentive to go through the game once again. But there is one obstacle in the way of my completion of the game: I don’t have a fucking TV in my room yet! We have a 42” Sony in the living room, but I don’t really want to ask my Dad and his girlfriend if I can play some games, because it feels kind of embarrassing. I don’t really know why I think it’s embarrassing, but I guess it’s just some kind of quirk I have. Oh, and we also have two hyperactive 6-year olds, and they have no regards of other people’s property. Bottom line: I need a cheap HDTV fast!

Oh, and something I swore I would never own has entered my house: a motherfucking Wii. In case you didn’t know, I fucking hate the Wii, and to see that white piece of trash under the TV is almost enough to make me gag (I’m exaggerating a little bit, of course). Luckily I didn’t pay for it; my Dad’s girlfriend is a total health freak, and she doesn’t see the stupidity in paying $500 for a Wii and $250 for that scale they call a game: Wii Fit. Ugh, the Wii might be the console I use the least in this generation. I haven’t actually played anything on the Wii yet, so I am casting judgment fairly quickly, but somehow I know that it will have the same effect on me as EyeToy: a lot of fun for a month, but then you forget about it, and it just sits there collecting dust.

I’m afraid I have to cut this a bit short, because I have a lot of homework to do, and it’s as of now, so I better get to work.
