We spent all weekend playing FPSs at a LAN party. I haven't done that in like 3 years, and am no longer l33t. Still, two different friends showed up at our place needing tea and sympathy, which came in the form of beer and fragging shit, so it was good.
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Hee. I've sadly never been l33t. Of course, I kind of skipped from Doom 2 to Halo, so I missed a whole lot of evolution of FPSes in-between. I spent most of my gaming time playing fighting games and RPGs.
Sadly, my dad can kick my butt at Halo because of this (he almost exclusively plays FPSes and sports games), though my younger brother just utterly destroys me.
I fear for the skill level of my nephews and my son, growing up with modern videogames (not that Mattias is ready for games yet). My 4-year old nephew actually beat his dad at Tiger Woods Golf the first time my nephew played (and my BIL loves playing Tiger Woods.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Penny Arcade tackles racism in gaming. Hee.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Is it weird to make miis of people you know?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We made miis of all the King of the Hill characters. Yeah, I dunno.

I didn't realize they would populate the games. Yesterday my roommate and my friend in Chicago were tossing me hula hoops. It was bizarre. Now I can't decide if I want to make all my friends or delete them all.

We also made our dog.
When he hops up and down in the background at the bowling alley...it is to laugh!

You can make pets? ooh! how did I miss this feature?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee. No, you can't. We just made a person that looks as much as possible like our dog.
Yeah, it's stupid. But fun!
