Friday night notes
- What a disappointing Brewers loss. Hitting 4 home runs, up 6-3 in the 5th and couldn't put up another run. Mota continues to show that he's not the answer in the 8th inning, giving up the game winning home run. Oh, well. Still, would have been nice to make up some more ground with the Cubs and Cards losing today.
- I rented Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games for the Wii from Gamefly this week. I had really high hopes after reading what Bill Harris had to say about the game, but within about 5 minutes I realized that this wasn't a game I could enjoy with my kids at all. One of the first things that you have to do in the Mission mode is to play the Trampoline game. Basically, it is the most annoying mini-game that I've ever played. You flip the wii remote up and then have to press a sequence of A, B, and rotating the remote within about 2 seconds. Incredibly frustrating. I can't imagine that anyone could enjoy that game. The 100 meter dash and long jump could be fun with friends, but when you have to avoid one of the first four games that you play, that isn't a good sign in my book. When I'm too frustrated to play the game, I'm certain that my daughter would be as well.
- You'll have to excuse me... Snatch is on HDNet...
