I’m getting back in the swing of it, I promise.
That’s right, we’ve been playing a lot of Rock Band around here lately. Ryan was awesome enough to help us acquire a copy, with quite the substantial discount, and we’ve been rocking out quite heavily. We even had a Rock Band party the other night, where our rock band consisted of–count ‘em–thirteen people.
I still haven’t gotten around to finishing Heavenly Sword, although I’m right on the cusp. I can’t help feeling like maybe I just haven’t spent enough time with the game, and that if I put in more replays of various levels and put more effort into getting better at the combat system before I wrapped it up (I’m currently a Button Masher Supreme), I would come away with a more rewarding experience. I doubt I’ll actually get to doing it, though… too many other things to do. I got a new-to-me hard drive (thanks again to Ryan), so I have disk space again after a very long time. This means that I can get crackin’ on The Witcher, Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, and others. This in addition to Mass Effect, Assassin’s Creed, Super Mario Galaxy, and more and more. Argle. Give me more hours in a day!
I’m almost over my illness, I think… I’m still coughing fairly often, and I still wake up with a sore throat every day, but it goes away pretty quickly and just subsides into itchiness and the aforementioned coughing. Alice, however, seems to have just begun the cycle, having caught it on the tail end of my contagion. She spent the day with a very bad sore throat, as well as some nausea. Here’s hoping she doesn’t have it as bad as I did!
