I've begun using Raptr to help track my gaming habits and serve as an IM client because Xfire is rather limited in the IM areas. I feel retarded running both at the same time, but I don't think that Raptr updates X-fire's profile, and I like knowing how many hours I've given to a particular game.

I'm about 45% of the way through The Conduit, and I'm still enjoying it. It's definitely worth playing, though I would suggest renting it instead of buying it. I also started S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky tonight, and am playing it with the Clear Sky Complete mod. It shines up the graphics, adds more atmosphere, etc. Direct X 10 is so awesome to see on my screen, in its 1600x1200 resolution... all bright and crisp. It's a far cry from The Conduit's Wii visuals. I also finally completed the adventure portion of Plants vs. Zombies. Awesome game and probably the best $10 I've ever spent on entertainment.

It's 87 here in Detroit, and we popped on the air conditioner. Hooray.

I went on a field trip today with my older daughter. We visited a rock quarry. Running around with six second graders was a little tiring, but it was definitely better than going to work today. I can't wait for summer vacation.
