Tuesday notes
To answer Dan's question, I've been working. It's been a crazy few days at work. My boss put in a 23 hour day yesterday, so all of us have been in a lot to help out.
- I would have been excited about Bad Company coming out today except for the fact that I don't know how the online community would shape up. I played the beta 3 times, for over an hour each time. Time one, I got some great squad mates and had a lot of fun. On the 2nd play, my teammates were awful. They had no concept of strategy and we got slaughtered over and over again. Time three, made me abandon the demo as my team just kept blowing up each other. I'll be curious to hear how much better the online base is now.
- I'm really excited to try out Top Spin on the Wii. I try to hold off on looking at any sports game reviews at this point, as I like to try and make up my own mind before hearing what other writers think.... with a few exceptions, present company excluded.
- I'm back to playing hockey tomorrow night and I can't wait. It's been far too long of a recovery since my procedure and the ensuing infection. That's my first step toward getting everything back to normal... or as close as I can get.
- Still playing Mass Effect on the 360. I don't typically get around to RPG's until they hit the $20 price point. I just have a hard time spending $60 on a long game and then watching it sit. If I spend that much, I don't feel as bad about it. Not great logic, but it works for me.
- The Brewers have been playing their butts off of late. If the Cubs fall to the O's tonight, they'll get to 5 back. The funny thing is that they're 5 back and have the 3rd best record in all of the NL. I guess the Central (well, the Cubs, Cards, and Brewers, at least) is better than people thought.
- Please post your comments on the Prizefighter demo... I'm curious to hear people's thoughts on the collision detection.
