Happy Fun Wednesday
Finally it’s Wednesday. I’m not gettinga a whole lot of sleep — part stress, part Sudafed, part Fairway Solitaire. It makes mornings before work very difficult. Oh well.
1. Picked up Endless Ocean. It’s about as dumb as I expected. I wouldn’t call it a game, that’s for sure. Of course I’m a huge fan of petting fish. Yeah that’s right — you pet fish. Or you finger tap them. This is a Japanese game alright. Save your $30.
2. I also picked up Burnout Paradise for the 360. Love the soundtrack. Love the game.
3. I didn’t get a chance to play the new DS Advance Wars, but I hope to play that at some point.
4. No Live Arcade game this week but Undertow is free. Good game if you don’t already have it. I can confirm (see yesterday’s post) that by calling Xbox Support, you can get your 800 points back if you had originally purchased the game.
5. Because I was tired of the 23 remotes in my gaming office, I picked up the Harmony 550 remote. The good news is that it’s the first remote to control my Oleiva 323V TV. The bad news is that apparently there’s no discreet command for the TV so everytime it has to cycle through all 23 inputs — and it never works.. Of course now that I say that it seems to work ok. Go figure.Maybe there is hope.
6. I bought that Nyko IR remote for the PS3, so hopefully when my 2nd PS3 arrives for BD playback on my home theater the Harmony will control it. I can’t believe I will have 2 PS3’s but it’s the best blu-ray player around and when I signed up for the Sony Credit Card, I got $100 off, and that’s hard to say no to. Unfortunately because Sony is on the left coast, and I’m on the right coast, it will take approximately 3 years to get here, but I still have some HDDVDs to watch so that’s ok.
7. zzzz. Time for work.
