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?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

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.

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

Fallout 3 - worth buying?

Hells yes.

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.

I certainly know plenty of people who own & are enjoying Fallout 3 but it's such a huge time-sink that I am keeping my OCD-self away from it.

Little Big Planet continues to amuse. Me & SA played it for HOURS last weekend and I'm probably introducing it to Cass today. Also, talking of game music, LBP's music is earwormingly good throughout.

Some Buffistas need to join me for a 4-player LBP fest. Hilarity will ensue.
