Welcome....to The Weekender!
Credit as always to the OG artist. Though since this particular splash (it's kinda small...does that make it more of a droplet?) is plain, it's more a courtesy than a mandatory credit this weekend.
How've you guys been? I'm good. Did about half of Xander's xmas shopping yesterday; we got him a bunch of those Marvel figures that can be pulled apart and mixed up so that you get figures that can have the body of Wolverine and the head of the Hulk, or Iron Man, or Hawkeye...or the legs of Dr Octopus, the arms of Green Goblin, Thor's torso....you get the idea. He's gonna love them. He also asked for Iron Man themed Legos...so we got him a couple boxes of the Marvel Super Heroes Lego sets. One is Iron-Man themed and the other is Captain America themed. Not sure why I hyphenated Iron Man.
He also asked for Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham and a Lego Star Wars game for his 2DS...those will be picked up a bit later, probably week after next. Kid's crazy for Legos.
What Are You Playing?
I'm still soldiering on in Dragon Age: Inquisition. It's a very good game, as you all probably know from the different posts here at PB. I'm 21 hours in and I feel like I've not even begun to scratch the surface. I read somewhere that it took a reviewer 90 hours to finish. I may not be getting another Gamefly game til after New Years at this rate, lol. I also gave Shadow Of Mordor a whirl tonight...that game also has quite a bit going on in it. I'm curious as to whether the initial area is the only playable area in the game or if it gets bigger...anyone? The Mordor that I'm looking at in my map screen doesn't seem very big at all. It's enjoyable for sure, but as Inquisition is a rented game and I own SOM...I'll probably turn my attention back to Inquisition until I finish it.
What Are You Watching?
Myth Hunters s2. I enjoy all that history-oriented stuff....makes me crave cable and The History Channel.
What Are You Reading?
No Easy Day and No Hero by Mark Owen. Both books are written by one of the SEALs who participated in the op that saw Bin Laden deader than a doornail. Both good books, I highly recommend them. I finished up Kitchen Confidential...it was okay. Bourdain sorta drags on a bit at the end, and the narcissistic tone of the book began to grate on me as I read. A good read, but that's a guy I'd never be able to hang out with.
What Are You Eating?
This weekend it's bbq'd chicken, rice and beans....probably some spinach artichoke dip and french bread tomorrow.
You guys??
