I've been a slug the last week. Just ask Bandit, he currently rates me as most boring human on the face of the earth (but he loves me anyway).

I like story-driven games. If I'm going to invest a lot of time in a game, there has to be something that interests me, and usually it's a story. That's why I love most Japanese RPGs - there's a story, it may be cliched, but there's a story. KOTOR hooked me the same way, even though I'd figured out my character's actual identity within the first 15 minutes of the game. It's why most fighting games and most FPS games don't interest me all that much, not enough of a story to keep me hooked. Exploration is the other key to my like or dislike of a game. I need to explore the environment. It doesn't have to be an open world, but there needs to be enough nooks and crannies to check out in outside areas, as well as drawers and cupboards to poke my nose into in houses and other buildings.

Thank you Michael! I was feeling guilty for not having any ambition to write anything and just post kitty pics, and now I can post kitty pics guilt-free!

I'm one of those people who always seems to be one of the last people to get around to playing a game. In this case, I'm not horribly late to the party, as ToX released in the US last August, but late enough that it's no longer a new game.

I love fun little games that can be played in small amounts of time. Flash games are terrible, because I spend tons of time playing silly little games when I probably should be doing something more constructive with my time. The other games that get me are games like Zuma, Chuzzle, and just about any match three game out there.

Just a quick one, I'm tired.

Yep, I went there.

OK, so I'm not working and every day might as well be a snow day for me.

I am in the minority of women when it comes to Valentine's Day. I loathe it, with a passion. Any psuedo holiday that is used to guilt people into buying shit or making people feel bad that they're not in a relationship is evil. And if that isn't bad enough, it's the day six years ago that my dad dropped dead of a heart attack. I am in a relationship, have been for 15 years, and we have always made it a point to not celebrate on the day of. We'll do something, but never on the day of. Why go through the agony of trying to find a restaurant that isn't booked solid selling over-priced set menus when you can go out the day before or the day after and have your choice of retaurants and food?
