Going back - post recovery

I am still trying to think of what I was thinking about on the Dec 28th post. It probably had something to do with Christmas stuff and perhaps some up and coming New Years plans, Christmas was wonderful and New Years was enjoyable, but hmm what could it have been?

We did get a new TV, that's one big bit of news that probably factored in there. Shopped around and got a very good deal on a Panasonic 42" plasma, which was significantly bigger than we had even intended, however, with the deal CostCo had going on, their extension of an extra year on top of the 1yr mnft warranty, added to the fact that other smaller TVs were not significantly cheaper, it was an easier choice to go with the Panasonic. It was also the highest rated and preferred by by Consumer Reports, so it had that going for it.

Beat Mass Effect, which was quite amazing and thoroughly fulfilling, they certainly delivered on that promise even if a good portion of the game was exaggerated about in the hype. Took about 25hr for those who were wondering and since I had "grinded" out any of the middle missions I could possibly find the end was essentially a cake walk, which speaks to the ends strengths because it made it no less enjoyable.

DS Classic - or - PC Game finds new home

Now are you sitting down, because this is really serious. Just when I was dusting off the old DS to be getting some good gameplay back in, looking to find some new games to replenish the lot, this comes to me. From the art to the music to the game mechanics this classic has a new home and perhaps might even find some new fans, as long as they approach it knowing something of what it was in its day.



We can all rest easy now.

A new beginning

Just a happy new year post. I just hope there are no techies that have to sit in store houses and monitor the systems this post will travel through. I hope that only the systems already in place will take care of this post and those involved with the running of this system get to enjoy fun with their friends and family.

I know that's what I am doing.

A nod out to Logical Gambit's cocktail party. Hope that went off really well.
