Woo, gaming thread.
Sadly, I don't get to do much of it these days, between the kid and the new house and everything. Bought Halo 3 the day after it came out and I finally had a chance to sit down and play through it with my dad when we went up to visit my parents two weeks ago. My cousin lended Assassin's Creed to me, which looks absolutely awesome, but I just haven't had time to play it.
I'm toying with the idea of maybe trying to get a D&D 4th Ed game going once it comes out. As much as a lot of the changes bother my nitpicky, modifiers-for-everything, encumberance-tracking, staying-up-until-the-wee-hours-of-the-morning-designing-bad-guys DMing ways, the plug-and-play, streamlined mechanics look like they might make it possible for me to actually run a game in between work, family time and getting things done around the house. We'll have to see.
I just wish my friend who was running a Mage game would get some free time again himself so we can finish off the chronicle. He said we only had 2-3 sessions left before we had to take a hiatus and I hate having a game I'm playing in (or running, for that matter) die that close to the end.
I desperately want to play Wii MarioKart, but alas, I have no Wii. So sad!
Come to my house!
Or, if that seems impractical, go to Scola's house.
I too have that problem, Jess. I miss having a console in the house.
I started games with Sean, Raq and Kristin. I'm happy to go just about whatever speed works for you on the games, so please don't feel rushed.
I have no Wiis to borrow. Seriously, I think that there are about 10-20 in my whole area, and I don't know any of their owners. Although...I think that the public library might have one for their game nights. I might have to go to the next one that's open to adults.
I've got a Wii, Xbox360, PS2, PSP, DS, and an Xbox. Sadly I rarely find time to play with any of them.
I'm really salivating over the upcoming Starcraft 2 though. I lost huge chunks of time in grad school to Warcraft II and Starcraft.

I think we have all those. Sadly I have no desire to play any of them.
libkitty, would you like to start a game with me? I enjoy all versions of scrabble I run across. I'm a huge literati fiend on Yahoo.
