Our wings are not tired

I've gotten a couple of levels into LBP and am really enjoying it.

ND, I hope you can find the time to dip into a few levels with me. So many puzzles require 2 players. Gaaah!

Yes, there are a bunch of areas that need the two player option. LBP has some kind of issue with my network setup that I need to look into, the game says check the website, but there is no information about it on the website. Sigh.

There are a few areas that need 4 players too. So cruel.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Don't look at me, I'm playing Old Snakey in gmail.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I killed DEAD all the batteries in my favorite controller, so I'm taking that as a sign that I should probably take a wee break while it recharges.

Fallout 3 is OMGAMAZINGFUCKYEAH

And did I mention that it's kinda good?

(But the hub finished the fucking giant radioactive fire-breathing ant mission before I did. Fucker.)

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

I am LOVING Fable 2. One might say a tad addicted.

not your mom's socks.

amych, in addition to being completely compiled out of awesome, is turning me towards this Fallout 3.

although this is interesting too (given that I have a wee EA wince-factor, this is not insubstantial): Left 4 Dead

Fallout 3 is definitely on my to get someday list. I figure it will also make me feel better about America after 8 years of Bush, it could be worse.

Hmm... that's an interesting marketing angle for Bush's inevitable attempts at a career rehab. "Yeah, he was bad, but at least he didn't leave Washington DC in a steaming pile of radioactive mutant-filled ruins!"
