We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Frak. Looks like you can do cross-platform with the PS3 but not a 360.

ETA: How does it play on 360? Every time I've tried to play an FPS with a gamepad I've gone running back to mouse+keyboard.

Pete only plays console games, so it's completely natural to him. I don't play video games (hush, Rock Band doesn't count) partially because I cannot get the hang of using the damn controllers. But I know Pete was really happy with the gameplay for Portal 2.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Sorry, chris, haven't had a chance to buy it yet. I'm looking forward to it, though.

Errr....on reread, that sounded kind of abrupt. Thanks anyway, Jilli and Pete, and I definitely agree on the gameplay and the writing both.

mac bought a DS game today with the last of his birthday money and after playing it 5 hours straight is now in tears proclaiming it boring and a waste of perfectly good money.

drama king, thy name is mac.

ION, I put together a storage thingy for over the toilet. it has doors that close and everything and now we can keep towels in each bathroom (well in one bathroom so far, I only got 1 or 2 put together since I had no help). WHEE!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Cash, that photo is hilarious.

I have not done any grading yet. That could fuck me for next few days. Oops? On the upside, had a good weekend.

but then that somehow morphed into a free suite at theHotel without ms doing anything than not arguing with him.

Nifty! Steph is right, you have superpowers.

msbelle, is it a good sign that mac finds an actual DS game boring, instead of being hypnotized for hours by it and pathetically bargaining to play just a little while more?

I guess, BUT HE PLAYED 5 HOURS STRAIGHT!!!

I am returning the game tomorrow. I can get a refund for up to 7 days. I have to talk to him more about it though, because I am making him wait at least a week before getting another one.
