Yeah, I've been worried about you and Andrew, pretty much the only two people I know in Oklahoma, but I'm pretty fond of you both!

Are you on Facebook?

Thanks, Matt! I've missed you guys, too.

I never cared for the original TR games on PS1, but this reboot has me thinking I may give them another chance. I still may not like them, I loathe the character model.

I don't think I managed to get any wildlife pics, but I do have lots of pretty wildflowers. They're much easier to photograph - they don't run off before you can get the camera focused, lol.

Aw, shucks. Thanks!

I'm really enjoying TR, but I have to warn you that it's full of QTEs, and sometimes you don't get enough of a cue before your window of opportunity is up. It's caused a couple of cheap deaths, but nothing approaching controller-throwing rage. The story has me wanting to know what's going to happen next, and there's a lot of exploring within the maps. There's also quite a bit of hand-holding, which annoys some people. I do wish they gave you the option to turn off the in-game tutorial, but I can live with it.

I've only played the first Professor Layton game, but I've been wanting more in the series for quite a while. My poor DS has been suffering some serious neglect lately. Hoping to give it some more love soon.

As for Blazing Dragons, I may boot it up in the PS3 just to see what it's like. I just couldn't help myself, had to have it!

Jason games, just not nearly as much as I do. I have hooked him on Pinball Arcade, though. I don't see us playing much in the way of co-op, though, because our taste in games is pretty different. He's more into strategy and aerial combat games, I'm more action/adventure and RPG.

I suck at the combat, so I think I'll stick to solo. Thanks, though!

And I'd never run off without at least leaving a forwarding address, lol.

Hey Larry 

Well, you've blogged since I have, I hadn't blogged since the end of April! Congrats on impending move-in. Set up ground rules before you move in together, wish Jason and I had done that. And yeah, DQ VI wasn't my favorite, either, but it's DQ, so it's not bad.

Go for it, John!

Yeah, I have to seriously keep an eye on my spending, as I'm working seasonally again. No new games without price drops for me, sadly.

Kind of reminds of the original Xbox game Raze's Hell.

So I see you're enjoying Oz.
