Talk About Mud Flaps, My Blog's Got Em...

Well yesterday RuFfNeCk and I were finally able to celebrate our anniversary. (Him being away in Vegas hobnobbing with the gaming elite - pics to follow soon) So we had a nice dinner out and then went to visit some friends and play some Rock Band.

Bad news first: I tried out drums in Guitar Hero for the first time and it was...not good. I don't know if Rock Band just takes pity on me or what but I s-u-c-k-e-d. Bah!

Good news: I totally rocked Rock Band! Of course the best part of the night was our friend who has not even seen "This Is Spinal Tap" try out her singing skills to "Big Bottom". Holy crap, I almost peed myself when she sang, "I wanna sink her with my pink torpedo!" I was laughing so hard I was crying and missed half the notes but it was totally worth it. It's almost like Rock Band was trying to make up to me for the fact that I still have not gotten any Foghat...

Up next, pics of RuFfNeCk with my gaming idol: Tim Schafer! *gasp*

Me Too!

In The Meantime...

I may not be able to play bloody fun video games in front of ICandee Jr at the moment but there's nothing stopping me from reading them...sort of? (2009 Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer's Edition and Fushigi Yugi The Mysterious Play by Yuu Watase recently purchased.)

But they say that the best things in life are free (those people never tried to use that line to get The Beatles Rock Band, now have they?), which was RuFfNeCk's philosophy when he approached me with a link to what he called, "Creepy Manga". I'm always suspicous when he calls something creepy because he's into all the horror movies, games and what not and for anyone that has read this blog with any sort of regularity you know that I am not a fan of such things so if he says it's creepy, it's usually creepy. (I do like to blow things up, I just don't want it chasing me down a hallway thank you very much.)

Anyhoo, I start to read this "creepy manga" and was like, "Uh...what's so creepy, this isn't a big deal!" to which RuFfNeCk replied, "Just keep reading..." So I did and I had trouble sleeping for the next few days. What a loving husband I have...

Please to enjoy, Creepy Manga.

I'd love to know your thoughts on this! Is it really creepy or have I once again fallen prey to my own wussiness???

Final Fantasy DOA

If this were ever ever ever to materialize as an actual game, I would pass out.

...

Then I would go buy it.

You Stay Classy USA!

Instead of losing a finger or an uncle this year, how about some Boom Boom Rocket on the Xbox 360 Live Arcade?

Happy 4th of July everyone!

Pick Up and Play...For About Five Minutes

Ever since ICandee Jr came on the scene, I've had little (if any) time for gaming. When I do have time, I've been gravitating to puzzle games (or the old standby-Katamari) because it's a way to get some sort of gaming in and at the same time it's something I can drop quickly should the need arise (i.e.-ICandee Jr deciding that 10 minutes of sleep is more than enough for one day).

When company comes over, if we're lucky enough to talk them into playing something, it's usually Rock Band, Scene It or Mario Party. Which those are fun, don't get me wrong but anyone that has read this blog for any amount of time knows me well enough to figure my need to blow something up is getting hard to repress at this point.

I tried to distract myself by trying out Yosumin! for the Xbox Live Arcade but...I don't know...not enough blow torches for me. Sometimes I do miss the days of staying up until God knows when playing G.R.A.W. or Burnout Revenge and taking out my friends (and yes, more than once-myself).

Oh well, new chapter and all that I suppose. One day ICandee Jr will be old enough for me to tell her to go play outside while Mommy shoots things. Let's see...she's 8 months old now so I should be able to do that when? In another month or so, right?

The Most Boring Post Ever

So once again, game playing has been slow around here. Yesterday I tried out Prototype or as I like to call it: "inFAMOUS Crackdown". And that's been pretty much it...*sigh*...so sad...

In funner news, the mucho talented Phin from the Frag Dolls community made me the slick new banner you see before you. I'm very in love with it., all bow before the banner!

If anyone reading this blog is playing games, please tell me your tales so that I may live vicariously through you...

That is all.
