I’m trying to decide if I want to get Michael Jackson: The Experience for my Xbox 360, or for the Wii. Getting it for the Xbox would require purchasing a Kinect ($150 + game is $50) which I’m willing to do if the game grades you on your entire body vs. only grading where the [...]

Sims Life Stories
So thanks to kawaiibishounen I am now probably going to be addicted to The Sims Life Stories. It’s what The Sims should have been from the beginning – you can guide them through all parts of their lives, not just going to work and earning money and reaching the top. They have specific desires and [...]
Some Thoughts
I just watched Hackers again for the first time in many years. It’s becoming more tolerable to watch as time goes on – back then, it was ridiculous. Now, it’s cute. Video games are fun. I haven’t played Driv3r in quite some time, and it’s fun to just tool around and rack up wanted points. [...]
Guitar Hero
I’ve just beaten Guitar Hero II on medium. Yes, I played Free Bird. Yes, I got abducted by aliens. No, I won’t be jumping straight to hard – I’ve done a bit of practicing on hard, and that orange key is just insane. I’ll probably try for 100% on all easy songs first (so far [...]
Overworked, Broken PS2
I am so tired. VRS turns out to be a really intense job, and working 8 hours yesterday and 7 hours today has left me exhausted. :A: is suggesting I cut back on my hours, because she doesn’t want me to be overtired, but it feels like it would be weird to work less than [...]
Guitar Heroines
Today I picked up a new starter pack for Guitar Hero II and a used extra guitar for $105. So we’re having fun – it’s a game :A: actually enjoys, which is nice because she doesn’t like the button-mashers. We’ve been playing all evening; her band is called Anna Panic! after the bartender on the [...]
Snow Sucks
Today was a bit of a bummer due to the first snow of the season. We were supposed to run errands, then go bowling, then go have cake at my in-laws’ house. The errands were going to include picking up a PS2 memory card, because when I tried to play one of my birthday presents [...]
World of Warcraft
I got a 10-day free trial of World of Warcraft from cynica, because I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. First I downloaded the 2.84GB install file, which I had to delete after unzipping because I needed the space to do the install! Once that was finally installed, I discovered I had [...]
NES Games Online
I found a good place to play free online games – it’s called Excessively.net. They have a bunch of games converted to Flash, so you can play classics like Frogger and Arkanoid (well, a clone) along with some I’ve never heard of – “Boobs, Butt, or Shoulder” and its sequel, “Boobs, Butt, or Shoulder Part [...]
Playstation Emulation
Oh my god! I got ePSXe to run on my laptop and I can play Playstation games on my laptop! I haven’t quite got the configuration right…sound effects play but music does not, which means Bust-A-Groove is much harder to play than on the PSX. But it handles import games (it’s the Japanese version of [...]
