When I awoke this morning. . .or was it afternoon. .. after an extensive B&W2 session I found that my save data was non-existant.

Troubling to say the least, as I had completed a good portion of the single-player campaign. I was about to deliver the final, powerful blow to the Japanese nation when I decided sleep was a wiser course of action. Unfortunately, since my data was gone I had to play through the whole thing all over again.

As it happened, my save data is still there. My brothers in law run Windows XP so, I had signed in on a different account, and my save data was not available to that particular account, even though the game was. . . go figure.

I don't know if I am grateful or resentful. . . either way Black and White 2 is a load of fun.

I have a habit of watching things I don't like. . . such as The Island (the summer flop, hailed by both my father and brother in law as an epic tale). Since the movie is a reimagined, though gutless, redeaux of the 1977 sci-fi epic Logan's Run (which just happened to have been eclipsed by a little movie called Star Wars) I figured I'd pass. But, tonight, I caved and watched the predictable, special-effects-laden story of two people searching for identity and survival. After concluding that tale, we watched the Brothers Grimm. . . similarly unamused.

Now, with a full mind of sad media, I am off to bed. Perhaps tonight I may rest well.
