- I tried PlayStation Move at EBGames last week. It was neat enough, but not something I ever plan on buying. I tried table tennis and disc golf from Sports Champions. The movement tracking wasn't bad, but it was just laggy enough to be irritating. Plus, there was something unsatisfying about playing table tennis without feeling the knock of the ball on the paddle, and disc golf without the snapping release of the disc.
- Although my Year Without Buying Games hasn't started yet, I've already been downloading piles of (legitimately) free games to stock up my Alienware laptop. And I'm ultimately learning that I would much prefer to pay for a few awesome games than get huge quantities of good games for free. It's the whole quality vs. quantity thing. And not having tons of free time for playing games.
- Exceptions: 1) Super Crate Box is one of the awesome free games I've found. It is hard. And awesome. And really, freaking hard, 2) Canabalt is surprisingly fun and appealing for a single-button game. Excellent use of minimalism. 3) Cave Story is probably awesome too. I probably just have to play it long enough to get stuck in.
- I recently reached Level 10 on PSN and Level 35 on GameSpot. Woot for levels! Woot for me! Where is it all heading?
- Tuesday is finally the release date for the Scott Pilgrim Precious Little Boxset. I have been dying to get my hands on these books, having already spoiled the story for myself with the movie and game. Both were mega-awesome, so the original books should be uber-awesome.
- It's all awesome.
