I hear ya about the weight. I'm finding it hard to consistently do the gym with work, but I get it in here and there and it's helped, just not seeing significant weight loss yet, just strength and energy so far. I got to fix my diet too. That may be even more important. Then there's career plans. It all gets pretty overwelming to me sometimes and then I just go out and buy some toys-to-life stuff or music or games. I'll get back to it soon though. 

I took off the week just after Xmas. I don't know what I'm doing with that time yet, but I need time off, and I'm going to take it. 

I made a list of all the Hugo award winning books and was going to read them all. I read the first few most recent ones and then I stopped. I might have read something by Vinge in my teens, though, maybe The Peace War. The name rings a bell with me. I'm at a reading impasse right now. I just dumped Ken Follet's Pillars of the Earth because I didn't like it half way through. I don't know what I should read next. It should be of practical value though. Not sure I should read fiction right now. Sometime though for sure. 

It has all these Midway arcade games in it. I wonder what that's like. 

That's probably why BestBuy didn't have it in their system yet. I probably got there, unknowingly, the day they came out. 

I might have. I'm not sure now. Toys R Us had a lot more of them than last time I went in there around Thanksgiving. 

I saw the robot in one of the trailers and immediately thought of HK-47 from the Knights of the Old Republic game. I wonder if it will be naughty like HK-47, or nice like C3PO. It looks kind of not so nice. 

So, I had to look it up but Earthworm Jim and Boogerman are in the original game. Here's the four new characters in Sculptor's Cut: Lady Liberty, High Five, Lockjaw Pooch, and Zappa Yow Yow Boyz.

I thought the figures were pretty good looking. I couldn't resist. 

Damn it! You make me want to go back and play it again. I probably played it two or three times to get as many trophies as I could. It was never boring. I didn't finish the ultimate racing challenges though. The weapons are so much fun. Man, how am I going to find the time to go back to it with all these games out there. Argh!

Turns out I don't have this in my collection. Lucky I didn't just run out and buy it. I'll definitely get it on XBO this weekend. Sweet! Thanks for the heads up.

I've never had a problem with MS for the ten plus years I've had cards attached to it. I do worry about Sony though and always get points cards. 

I just picked up the Midway level pack. I got it for $17 at BestBuy. While I was there, I couldn't help trying to pick up the Crash Banicoot adventure pack for Skylanders Imaginators. They wouldn't let me buy it though because it had been deleted in their system. Wah? Fine. I went to Toys R Us and got that and the Observatory adventure pack too. I kind of splurged on those but since Gamestop is not taking used Skylanders anymore, I figured I'd better scarf these up before they get hard to find. 

The music was way overdone for me. It really took me out of the experience causing me to groan instead of feel. Still, a great game though. Really liked it. 

I never played the SNES Clayfighter games. I picked up 63 1/3 Sculptor's Cut from the sale bin at Blockbuster probably a year or two after it came out. It was silly fun and I got another copy for my friend Mark. For both of us this game is in our pantheon of favorite games. Who knew it would become the rarest N64 game. I only wish I had it in the box instead of a rather beaten up loose cart. Not sure if I'd sell it though. It's not available anywhere else.
