You know, I don't why I've not mentioned this here before, as it's a natural, but I've been involved for a couple months in an ongoing Buffyverse role-playing game on LiveJournal. (I play Lorne and Ethan Rayne full-time, and I just ran the first major campaign, which entailed all out chaos, A Buffy vs. Angel smackdown, and a tour of the Rock And Roll Museum in Cleveland with Oz.
The game has its own continuity, diverged from the end of Buffy Season 7. If anyone's interested, there's a couple major characters available, including Gunn and Andrew. Info to get involved is here.
Yeah, we've played GoW co-op split screen, but only the two players.
I DL'd a couple trial games on the Xbox last night - Gauntlet and a pinball game. And my 3yo kicked my ass. As did Sox's 4yo.
I taught my nephew Baby David to play Ultimate Spider-Man this weekend. Am I evil? He's actually almost three, and he's not allowed to punch or kick anyone, but he had a lot of fun making Spider-Man jump in the water and he actually managed to swing down the street, and move and jump at the same time. What worries me is that I spent my entire youth wanting to do nothing outdoors or indoors but play videogames, and I just exposed him to that. And the spectacle of a three-year-old in a dark basement pushing Playstation sticks is somewhat disturbing.
My sister says she'll never do it with him, so he'll just think of it as something to do when Uncle Noumenon comes over. Hope so. 'Cause video games are super fun, I wish I could safely share them with him.
I finished Fable II last week. It was a lot of fun, but it really didn't feel much longer than the original. I wanted a lot more gameplay. Did anyone else feel the same?
I've still not finished it. I get distracted by kicking chickens and side quests.
Fallout 3 - worth buying?

Lea's currently playing Fable I. I don't think she'll ever finish, though, because she has far too much fun making her character dance.
I really want to play through Fable II. I am hopeful I might get to do it this month.
I have a couple of non-spoilery tips for you that will make the game a lot less annoying, Drew. Let me know when you finally get a chance to play.
I carpooled to a meeting today with a friend...who had the music from Fallout 3 playing in his car. Brilliant, brilliant musical choices.
