Hump Day Musings
1. Wow! Just when I think my crap meter is full, along comes this stupid buddy game for Xbox Live Arcade.
2. Bill Harris has a long post about Fairway Solitaire. Personally, I’d like to thank Bill for ruining my life. I can’t stop playing this game. The last course challenge was to finish 9 holes at +3 or better, and after two perfects I thought I’d clear it, but then the +5’s kept coming. Everytime I feel as though I’m getting better at this game, it beats me with the damn water traps. I agree with everything Bill says about the game. What does suck is that I started playing the game at 10:30PM last night and then I decided I really needed to get some sleep - it was 1:15AM. That’s how addictive this game is.
3. Next Tuesday is the series finale of Life on Mars, one of my favorite BBC programs. It was over much too fast, but in England they have a tendency to limit the number of episodes in a season as well as the number of seasons, regardless of popularity. Hey we should try that :). Anyway looking forward to that.
4. Someone want to tell me why Turok isn’t available in North America? WTF?

Turok demo is not available because of OXM exclusivity. Also, the XBLA is a bunny game, not a buddy one. It sounds like you have a cold.

Stupid OXM. I’m not going to pay $10 (or has it gone up since I last got one years ago?) just to get the Turok demo. They kind of limit their demo base by keeping it on OXM only.
The game comes out early next month, I certainly hope the demo is available before then.

LOL.Buddy. Wow, that was a horrible typo. I’m leaving it up for fun.
Agreed on the OXM. No way I’m buying that for a demo. OXM has more value to me to wipe my butt then it does for literary content.
