andylaub.com has changed yet again. I think I am finally happy enough to leave it alone for awhile – I don’t think quarterly relaunches should be necessary. It ties in nicely with LaubJournal and for that, I am thankful.
I bought Ratchet & Clank awhile ago and while it took me awhile to get into, I can now say I like it very much. The same goes for Prince of Persia. It has a Max Payne-like quality to it in that the levels are relatively brief, which means that I’ll continue to play, saying, “OK, this is the last level then I’m done – wait, that next one doesn’t look too bad, I’ll do that one,” and so on and so forth.
I also recently procured a copy of The Spine. Very good album.
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.
