Good morning Pixls!!

Err, afternoon I mean. Since I've been on the injured list, I've been keeping much more.."collegiate" hours. I think I went to bed around 3 am PST this morning and woke up around 1130 am in the same time zone. I feel rested, but it sucks not making REAL money. I think it'll be another 3 weeks at the least before my short-term disability kicks in. Thank god the ol' lady has a job too!

I like to do my updates and pickups in blurbs...here goes:

GAMING

- i ended up returning my copy of MGS HD collection and putting that money on a PSN card. i'm really hoping that a version of that crazy EU PSN Store Easter Sale hits us Stateside this next week.

- i picked up Surgeon Simulator 2013 and Guacamelle Gold Edition off the Humble Weekly Sale. I'll give SS13 a whirl later...doubt I'll play Guacamelee as I've already owned it and nearly beaten it on PS3.

- got back into Ni No Kuni, gonna play it heavily thru the weekend. Oh, and my copy of Far Cry 3 is itching for my attention.

WATCHING

- i finished up the Mad Men seasons available on Netflix and have moved on to Battlestar Galactica. That's a good, good space opera, for anyone who cares to check it out.

- i'm wanting to rent the Desolation of Smaug tonight...we'll see if the ol lady is up for it.

READING

- i'm not currently reading anything.

Have a good weekend!!!

I really want to finish Ni No Kuni too. I like that game, but the battle system doesn't do it for me. I like everything else about it though.

yeah the battle systems not for everyone

EDIT: sorry that was a bit short of me! I just wanted to agree with you man, it's a bit out there. Too much going on at one time. Also...thus far I only really use Mitey, the first familiar you're granted, though I've captured at least 20 others.

It's definitely not my favorite aspect of the game. I really dig the familiar mgmt though

I have to get back to Ni No Kuni at some point. Jason and I watched Battlestar Galactica as it aired. It really peters out at the end, so prepare yourself.

i think it might be getting there already. This last episode I watched was about Chief Tyrol organizing a labor union

Booooo-riiiiiiiing! Give me conflict with the Cylons any day.

I binged on Battlestar when it showed up on Netflix. That show is like crack potato chips.lol

I'll get back into Ni No Kuni eventually. Like Mat, I'm not really feeling the combat. But everything alse about it makes up for it.

3 weeks for disability to kick in? I better find a sweet, loving woman to bone soon, cause if I get on disability while I'm still single, I'm gonna wind up strangling a nurse, if it takes that damn long. Sorry, man. Oddly enough, one of my major goals recently is getting to sleep earlier, and I'm actually in college. lol

I need to get a first-run PS3 and that MGS HD collection. Guacamelee keeps popping up on Humble Bundle, and I was kind of upset, because today they tied in with PewdiePie and one of my regular charities (Save the Children), but I was like "I already own that one game I want." I'll just send StC a direct donation anyway, but I kinda wish that particular charity was tied to the eBook packages.

Ni No Kuni and Far Cry 3 look fun.

I'm gonna rewatch Desolation of Smaug tomorrow in the Baker Patillo Student Center theater, cause I have a free admission pass from when the projector didn't work for Lone Survivor, and it's the last movie they'll show this semester, with Easter break, dead week, and finals coming up. I'm kinda pissed they didn't just let me use it to get a $2 snack combo though, being that tickets are also $2.

I need to get back to watching House of Cards on Netflix. I might finally finish season 2 over Easter break.

I read the first chapters of Divergent and The Giver. We'll see how that goes as my research papers and projects for my Master's courses become due. haha

Have a great one!

I am behind on Mad Men. I missed last night's premier, and all of last season. I did however bought the most recent DVD season, so I can at some point go binge and catch up.

Is Surgeon Simulator that game where you only have control of one hand? I've seen video of that game and is freaking hilarious.
