gloomy monday, sort of
Child missed only one per section on his TAAS (or whatever they call it these days) and achieved A-B Honor Roll (we called it the Merit Roll. Weird). So he got a new game and has been nagging pretty thoroughly.
So I got the LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures which is just deeply awesome. My role was more observational than say, playing, because Child is wily and I was tired. But watching was deeply cool. So I need to get a second controller for him real soon now. So I can play.
In other news, I deeply resent Wii is just everywhere now that I have a Playstation and get bitter that Playstation's games are not as good. I mean, I will say it. They are not as awesome. Which means I really want a Wii, adn which means, one way or another, Christmas comes with a console that I can play that has fun games. My DS has better games and that is saying something.
Okay, actually, it's pretty cool. Also picked up Sudoku Platinum. So far, I'm not impressed, but that's because the graphics are a lot better in Brain Age and don't make the grid so small. Not so much with platinum, sorry to say, but I got it used, so that's something. I assume I'll get used to it eventually and not care, but dammit, I want cake for to eat it, so that cake and eating it too thing is peeving me highly. Who gets cake and doesn't eat it? No sense at all.
I also want Tetris, but apparently, the most awesome game ever invented is just too damn hard to keep manufacturing or something. Gah.
My whining, it is legion. I also want new shoes. So there.

Total lie. The Final Fantasy games are truly awesome -- *my mother* became fascinated with the character development and plot of FF12 when she visited over Xmas. And the visuals are *astounding*, truly worth looking at for their own sake, not just as obstacles in a game.
Kingdom Hearts is also pretty cool, if you can wrap your brain around Goofy & Donald (which frankly is a lot of trouble for me).

Granted, I need to add that to Child's list. He really wants Grand Theft Auto IV and it's wrong to laugh hysterically at one's child. That and Call of Duty IV, which he plays at my ex-bil's house. Which, eh.

But this doesn't mean they *lack awesome*, it means they suffer from *excessive awesome* for your trivial mind. *sniffs*

MTV Rockband is *awesome*, but that requires set-up and a couple of people to play along with. I was getting game envy at GameStop when looking at the Wii section. The only thing that is really restraiing me from a Wii is that I have heard this could be considered spoiling Child to have many game consoles.
....I'm becoming less convinced the more I see Wii games I want to play.

lOL - same! The endless refrain in our house since getting the PS3 - "we need a better TV!!"

(seriously, you play a goddess/guardian spirit. You -paint- your way across a very stylized japanese-ish landscape.)
It isn't Tetris but it is cool.

(Also, Final Fantasy X is amazing.)

We got a Wii this past Christmas, and I love it -- I like the controllers so much better than any of the older game platforms. Something about being able to hold my hands apart really makes a difference for me.
However, I have game envy about the whole Rockband games -- I wanna play drums!!! and I have yet to see any of those for Wii. :-(

Also, I kind of agree with you about the PS3. Wii is good, to, but the best console right now? XBox 360. There are so many awesome games for it (Bioshock! The Darkness! Assassins Creed!), and, y'know, XBox Live. Wee!

My 3.5 year old calls it the "Sticky Bubblegum Ball Game", not that he can play it all that well, but he loves to watch.
They are the pinnacle of cracked-out Japanese mayhem. I don't know if you can buy them new anymore, but they're definitely worth the search.

Also, with you on the shoes. They fit in the store, why don't they now? Also, sandals. They are needed. Especially the kind you can wear to work. And I'm not a shoe person, really, at least I never used to be...
