May Musings…Gamings, Responsiblities and Such.
It’s been a busy few months for myself. As the temperature warms up, so do the responsibilities. Getting ones yard in decent shape isn’t always the easiest thing, and it’s definitley time consuming (and cost consuming). Even though I’m busy with home owner type responbilities I’ve been finding as much time as possible to jam out in Guitar Hero 2. The game is still as addicting as ever, though I’m having a hell of a time on the Hard difficulty level.
I’ve also been trying my hand at Catan. I’m really digging the game, but it seems the AI likes to cheat. And while the game is lots of fun multiplayer it isn’t without it’s problems. There have been some technical issues with connectivity, lag and dropouts. On top of that the multiplayer games take quite a bit longer than singleplayer due to all the waiting for a player to finish their turn. While such is the nature of the beast, it can get annoying at times, especially if you are just trying to squeeze a game in here and there.
The PS3 gets rarely a play anymore. I checked out a few demos and videos. Ninja Gaiden Sigma is a nice cleaned up version of the XBox original. It maintains all the frustration of the original games, and honestly…I don’t know if I can put myself through playing the game again. I was always so angry when playing the game on the original XBox. I saw a pretty tight video for Super Stardust HD, so I’m itching for this to be available on the PSN. I’ll definitley be checking that out.
Finally the last of my time has been spent watching the NHL Playoffs. Amazingly my Red Wings are in the Conference Finals. They are going to face a tough Anaheim team (one that swept them 4 years ago), so it should be another long and grueling series. On the flip side, the Buffalo and Ottawa series is going to be a doosy. It’ll be penalty and score filled and an absolute blast to watch.
