It had to happen. Tonight I lost at Mario Party. Waluigi is no longer the winner.

Good for my friend Paul, but no so good for me. That is the way it goes. My consolation: I had the most coins at the end of the game and won just about all of the mini games. Unfortunately the computer beat me too.

All's fair.

Lately I've been playing Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes. Very cool. My friend from work all those years ago was right. . . MGS really is great. It takes me back to when I played Metal Gear on the NES. Same thing only better. I like the motion-captured cut scenes. The story is quite compelling as well. All of the little nuances definitely combine to form an enjoyable game experience, even though it is quite punishing.

With all of the gaming I have done this weekend, I am glad it is coming to an end. Not because I get to go to work tomorrow, but because my wife and daughter return home tomorrow. Life just isn't the same without them.
