Broke out my PS2 today and played a little All Star Slammin' D-Ball. This is a PS1 game. It's like volleyball but with no net. Two teams wing a ball at each other until one side eliminates all the players on the other side. There's four players a side in the in-bounds area and then three more players just out of bounds. That's a little more interesting than the way I played it at summer camp one year where the two sides just stood in a line across from one another and threw the ball at each other way too hard. Here's some gameplay footage:

I used some PowerUpRewards points and the Easter sale to get the Disney Infinity 3.0 starter pack for $20. Now I just need a second copy for Mark before I can actually play it. Here's the picture:

In looking at Gamestop online for a the Chewbacca figure for Disney Infinity 3.0, I noticed it seemed a little bit scarce, so I dashed out and got one under the $10 sale. I had to go to two stores, because online lies sometimes, but I had some time. While at one of the stores, I noticed they had one of the few core Skylanders I didn't have, Flip Wreck, so I picked that up as well. Here's the pic:

I revisited an old arcade favorite in reduced form on console, finished Disney Infinity 1.0 and got back to good 'ol blood and guts FPS action. But first, a picture of my D.I. 3.0 figure I got today:

You get three blogs in one today. It's just how long a gaming day I had. I guess, when I grow up, I won't have time for all this. I hope that day never comes, maybe. 

I got my Davy Jones figure today for Disney Infinity, but I couldn't resist picking up some Skylanders I didn't have on the 5-for-2 sale at Gamestop. Here's a picture:

I got bored today waiting for a doctor's appointment today, so I went to Gamestop and looked at figures. I know, I shouldn't do it, but I did. Luckily I didn't find what I wanted, but I did see this D.I. power disc album in the clearance bin for $5, so I got that. Here's a pic:

I started Sunday with a trip to Gamestop on my way to Mark's place and got some more Skylanders. They didn't have any from my core list like the internet said they would, so I got some Trap Team characters I didn't have and a Superchargers figure and vehicle. Used Supercharger figures are starting to fill the shelves, so I'll start picking those up when I can't find the older stuff. Here's the picture of what I got:

I went to preorder Ratchet & Clank today at Gamestop after gym time and couldn't resist looking at what toys-to-life figures they had. Turns out, I've now mined this store of all the Skylanders and Disney Infinity figures I wanted except one - Randall from Monsters University. See pic:

Today was a long gaming day for me. I finished all but one achievement in Disney Infinity 2.0. Mark and I played the Exploration Survival Mode on the Brave power disc and got to the end of the 50 levels. It took about two and a half hours. Luckily no disconnections occured. Then I had to play the story missions on that same disc to get all 50 sidekick items. Mark and I played about four levels co-op before I got the achievement and we both exited to do other things: Mark had to get his 90 Feats achievement, and I started the Pirates of the Caribbean Playset in Disney Infinity 1.0. But more of that after a picture of today's purchases.
