The Deluge

Wow, what a summer I've had in regards to gaming.

That said, I apologize for the lack of posts, even though I've been chewing through a lot of games, including a handful of franchises that I'd previously overlooked.  The combination of work, commute, and need for downtime killed most of the time I would have had to blog, and while I'd love for this to become something more, it is still just a little diversion.

If I were getting paid for this... well, that'd be a different story.

Eating cookies in the sandbox

Ahhh, don't you just love it when a game eats up your free time without a blink?

I was originally going to post about Tim Shafer's Brütal Legend, and about innovation, as I had finally gotten around to completing the game.  (Well, 97% complete, as I still have a bunch of dragon statues to free, should I actually devote the time to do so.) Then something happened....

Cookie Monster

So, I just passed the 15,000 mark in my Gamerscore, and am now fifth place in the imaginary race I have against the others on my friends list, none of whom seem to be aware that there is a race.  Gamerpoints are important stuff, damn it!

When did gaming become so competitive, and when was it decided that we need cookies to get us to play?
