Came back from a few weeks in Florida with my family over spring break. It was fantastic.

In terms of my GOTGO list, I'm still working through DQV on the DS - which has slowly become my platform of choice for the portability and the increasingly impressive games list. I'm about 30 hours into the game now searching for Bianca in Lofty Peak and trying to figure out how to use my magic carpet and the magic key. My sons are really getting into it as well, they just love to lie on the bed beside me as I play through an hour or so. I've named the two children Evan (my son) and Jenifer (my daughter) in the game and now that they're in the party they are amazed that they "are in" the game. My younger son William has decided that he wants to be Sabre, and so the posse for the game is officially me, Evan, Jenifer and Sabre.

The Afro Samurai game is still in the backlog. I've enjoyed it enough so far that I was inspired to buy the graphic novel and took it with me on the vacation in Florida. I enyoyed that, though the story was a bit shallow in comic format. I watched the animated version on DVD, it's a good if not overly deep story. I've heard that theyre making a movie version which I believe will do well given its target audience. I still intend to finish the game version, and have left Halo Wars in the original packaging unopened until I'm done. Come to think of it, Valkuria Chronicles for the PS3 is also in the packaging and so is Covenant of the Plume for the DS.

The backlog continues to grow. What can I say, I'm busy!
