I avoided Gears for a while not liking the characters much, but on a binge of cheap games I tried out Gears 1 and found I really liked it. The controls are very fine tuned and the co-op is a blast. I then went quickly to 2 and then 3. They get better and better. A friend and I played Gears 3 for almost three months straight before I just had to stop to play other things. I gotta try Gears Judgment sometime.

Listening to: The Bonzo Dog Band - A Dog's Life (The Albums 1967-1972)

I've never gotten into the Mario games but the Mario & Lugi games I love. It all started with Partners in Time.

I want to be a Druid and talk to and command plants.

Yea, like this guy.

This is the youtube channel. I'm not sure what the PBS connection is. I stumbled across this video quite by accident.

I'm gonna get a bunch and glue them to the dashboard of my car so everyone can see them. Ha ha!

I miss playing Genesis stuff. Love those colorful 2D environments.

Played Over-G Fighters recently. It's a super hard core sim game. Really good but tough. It was interesting to see the realistic view from the cockpit of a F-15. You can't see much. Keep your eyes on the dials.

Man I gotta get an iPad or some tablet to play this stuff.

Seussian. Yea, it totally is. Ha!

IGN's Podcast Unlocked today mentioned Minecraft just hit 10 million in sales on Xbox 360 almost reaching the 13 million on PC right now. Add to that it being put on next gen systems soon and I think we could start calling the Xbox One and PS4 the Minecraft Machines. It's incredible the popularity of that game based on nothing more than the ease at which you can alter its environment.

"veiny arms" ha!

After learning it, I don't even think about my keyboarding anymore. It's effortless.
