Thanksgiving was good, blah blah blah. I picked up Katamari Damacy, one of the coolest games I’ve ever played for about 30 minutes. After that it’s something you look back at fondly but don’t really want to do again. I started playing GT3 again – did you know that turbocharging a Miata makes it faster? Apparently I couldn’t have figured this out 6 months ago.
Anyway, I was in Gamespot again today because I was kind of looking at Xboxes. I ended up picking up Half-Life for the PS2, and then I found out that it’s buy 2 get one free on used games. So then I got Max Payne 2 (I finally finished the first one) and also SSX 3.
That’s it.
A coworker brought in Laffy Taffy this morning which resulted in a barrage of absolutely awful jokes flying back and forth via email:
Why were the baby strawberrys crying? Because their mom and dad were in a jam.
What did the baby horse say to the mean horse? Be kind to your neigh-bors!
Where can a monster always find friendship? In the dictionary.
What did the volcano say to the other volcano? I lava you.
How are a clergyman and a small blender alike? They’re both mini-stirs.
What do you get when you cross a chicken and a spaniel? Cockerdoodledoo.
Where do cows go to have fun? The moo-vies.
Why did the farmer feed the cow money? He wanted rich milk.
Great. So I also decided to pick up Sly Cooper and Max Payne over the weekend, which cost me a not unreasonable sum of $26. I am pleased with both – Payne because it is a Rockstar effort and therefore there’s no possible way not to like it, and Cooper because it’s a lighter side of stealth, which is really pretty fun. At this point I am more addicted to the latter because I tend to tear through platformers if I really enjoy them. Max Payne is, of course, a lot darker, which will keep me from moving through it too quickly. I also want to continue Driv3r and MGS2, which I haven’t touched for awhile. I was tempted by Ratchet & Clank at the game store so I foresee that one in the near future as well.
