Wednesday, June 22, 2005 Finally, A Good Day Yesterday Tine convinced me to take a mental health day with her with no real agenda. So we put TheBoy in daycare, drove the kids to school and got to play the nookie card in an empty house (which oddly feels like being a teenager again). Then we went out to Best Buy and replaced the PS2 finally. It's been broken since around Christmas. I've got games I've never been able to play because it won't read DVDs anymore. We also got a couple of wireless controllers for it, as the reason it got busted was TheBoy running full tilt into the wires causing it to crash to the floor. That turns out not to be good for the laser. We also picked up Destroy All Humans. I wanted the Star Wars Lego game, but they were out. On our way back, Tine convinced me to stop at the local hole-in-the-wall where we got fried clams. Mmm... awesome. Although probably our last thanks to the red tide. It was much more expensive than it really should have been. After we got home, Tine decided to take a nap and I wanted to hook up the PS2 to make sure it was all functional. I also managed to find Kate's copy of GTA: Vice City, that I thought I had lost months ago. Then, being alone, I though, what the hell, and hooked it up to the big screen TV and that rocked. Some games, like GTA and Half Life have a widescreen mode. 50-inches of pixel goodness. I bet they're all like that now. So I spent most of the afternoon playing GTA. At least until the kids came home. It's the one game I don't let them even know I have. The biggest bummer was that I can't find the save card, so it didn't matter what progress I made. Later, Tine and I played Champions of Norrath (another game I've been unable to play), which is a bit like a souped up Gauntlet. She really got into it, which is not like her at all. This part was really cool, because we never get to play games together, and it was actually a blast. We played that for about 3 hours together and she's willing to play more. Although, like GTA and everything else, no save card. So it didn't matter how well we did. Once I get a save card, we'll have to do it all over again. All and all, a pretty good day. == On a sadder note, my copy of Zeppelin IV got eaten this morning by my cassette player. Which is not terribly bad when you consider I bought it about 22 years ago and it still gets periodic heavy play. That tape got me through a lot of boaring summers in Maine over the years. I'm going to miss the old girl... posted by Evil Wayne | 10:15 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
