Yet another reminder of why I prefer console gaming, lol.

I want to play Last Remnant, guess I'll add it to the Amazon wish list and keep an eye out for it at Game Box.

Sounds like you had a fun day gaming. I found Red Faction 2 for the PS2 for cheap at some point, but never played it, as I'd taken down the retro set-up to make room for a desk top computer at that point. I'm champing at the bit to get a retro corner set up here, but it looks like the old heating system is here to stay for another winter to make sure the new one will do what it was promised to do. I am bummed, but at the same time glad my landlady worries about keeping me warm in the winter.

HI BEN! OK, maybe I need to tone done the caffeine...

Like the artwork on your alter ego.

Thnaks for reminding me that there is a second one! I skipped that half of your blog, I want to be surprised when I play it. I loved the first one when it came out, and the DLC as well. I forsee a trip to the store to pick up some Microsoft $ so I can buy it today.

I had Panzer Dragoon Orta and sold it back. I had a tough time with the controls, but I kind of regret selling it back now.

The whole atmosphere of the market is pretty awesome. Their goal was to make it as much like an old-fashioned outdoor market as possible in both feel and looks. It looks like a gigantic barn from the outside, complete with giant sliding wooden doors (just for looks, they're actually attached to the walls), inside, the display cases are all made out of old barn boards, and the ones in front look like old-fashioned carts. The ceiling is high, and they don't use those awful fluorescent lights that most supermarkets use. I think they're probably still fluorescent, but they give a warmer-looking light. And it's very much a local place where people connect. I'm actually having fun, believe it or not, and I never thought I'd say that about a cashiering job.

I'll have to take some pics of the market. It's pretty cool.

I've always loved dogs, never was able to have one as a kid because we moved around too often. The first thing I did when I graduated from college was to adopt one from the local shelter. He was my best bud for the 15 years I had him. Bandit is my second dog, and he's been a bit of a problem child, but I wouldn't trade him for the world.

Yeah, I'd figured out the Halloween stuff after I met Jack. So far, I've only got four masks. Are there more? I did like my model ship that I got for Explorers Day yesterday. That was pretty cool.

I really want to get my old TV set up and hook my Game Cube back up. I found Chibi Robo for the GC for cheap, but I've never played it.

No, you never sent me a book. You sent me a 3DS instead.  I think that keeps you out of the lame category forever.

Tell us how you really feel, Blake.

Yeah, I can't figure out why it takes forever for stuff to download to my PS3 with the high speed internet we have here at the compound (my landlords over in the "big house" share their internet with me here in the cottage).
