Thanks, Adam. And I actually have more time for gaming than when I was in school. My parents didn't belive in TV, so I wouldn't have had anything to connect a console to, even if I'd had one back in the day. And the only computer in the house was my step-dad's office computer and he was self-employed, so I only got to use it after he was done for the day, and homework and chores were done. So here's to more free time, lol.

Hey Michael :)

I'm loving it! It's just the right mix of exploration and combat. The combat isn't too bad, when I get my butt kicked and die, I just go back and try doing something a bit different. Plus, the enemies pop up in the same spots, so I know where to expect them the next time through. The story has me intrigued, too.

My copies disappeared, along with a few other games :(

This is one of those games that I started and got distracted away from by something new and shiny. Or maybe something that I'd lost under the couch. Either way, I need to get back to it at some point, as I really liked what I'd played.

I'm hoping to hear anything about The Last Guardian.

Nah, lots of people don't use their own pic on there. I'm currently using the osprey photo I took. I don't play Facebook games, I figure I have enough other places to play games, I don't need to play on FB.

Should be lots, it's an international craze at this point. Just go to the website and type in your zipcode, I bet at least 20 pop up.

Whenever I'd get grief from family about playing my DS, I'd point out that I don't smoke, do any other sort of "recreational" drugs, and rarely drink. Then I'd tell them that everyone needs a vice. It shut up 99% of them.

Never been all that into motorcycles myself. Two wheels equals disaster with me without an engine, I can just imagine all the ways I could really hurt myself with one. That said, love playing Road Rash.

Another good book about motorcycles is Pilgrimage on a Steel Ride by Gary Paulsen.

When I was at my previous park posting, I had a lot of anxiety issues going on due issues with my boss. I would come home after having had several anxiety attacks during the course of the day and play Flower. Between the visuals and the music and the gameplay style, I'd calm down enough to relax and even sleep, as my anxiety was also causing sleep issues.
