Picked up a couple games this AM

I took advantage of some boxing day sales today and picked up DragonAge: Origins and Gears of War 2. I was looking for Fable 2, but where I went was sold out and couldn’t be bothered to go anywhere else to pick it up. I am sure I will pick it up later this week someone.

For Xmas I got NHL 2010 which i have been playing quite a bit the last 36 hours. I also picked up Unreal Tournament yesterday for 12 bucks or something. For the kids/family I got The Biggest Loser and EA Sports Active more Active, along with some High School musical stuff for the kids. We have all used the fitness games quite a bit in the past couple days, so thats good. Anything to keep us moving.

I just talked to one of my best friends, who was more ambitious than me and would venture out past just walmart and he said that Fable 2 was everywhere. I will pick it up later in the week, I have to work this week so I will be out and about and will stop in somewhere and get it.

Picked up GH 3

Today I went out with a buddy of mine and braved the crowds at the malls and picked up two games at a pretty good price. I got Guitar Hero 3 with a wireless guitar for the 360 and I also picked up Party Games 2 for the Wii. I have been playing GH3 at the house here as I borrowed my buddies, so I know I like that (hooked, lol) but I hadn’t played the party games.

I quickly tried the party games out and its not too bad. I think its going to be one of those games thats more fun with a couple friends or family, and/or over a few beer. I played a few games of each of the darts, shuffleboard, horseshoes and longdarts etc, and while not perfect I can see them being a lot of fun with my friends. My friends and I compete at absolutely everything so this will be just one more thing to compete with.

As far as the GH, I am slowly getting better, have only been playing for 3 days so Its going to take some time to get to the point that I can compete with my friends who have been playing for months or years. I like it because I can play with my friends or play with the kids, or for that matter alone. My wife hasn’t joined in the fun yet but I am sure if she did she would see that its a blast. I am hoping to get GHWT for my bday but we’ll see, its a couple days away so time will tell!

Movies and more Movies!

Well Boxing day already. Yesterday was a great day down at my inlaws. Got in a nice two hour walk, had a few beer, a great supper and had great driving there and back.

I have been doing a lot of blogging on my Treo cell phone lately, but as usual have misplaced the cable to transfer the contents of the phone to the computer. Once I find it again I will transfer the posts over to my various blogs.

I went to the local Rogers video store this am and picked up 7 bargain basement videos. I could have easily spent 150 bucks in there but the boss told me not to buy too much. As it is I bought, Platoon, Family Guy Season 1 and 2, Ace Ventura 1 and 2, Little Women (for the kids and wife), a Garfield movie, Something About Mary, and Be Cool. Add those to the movies we got for xmas (about 10 more for the family as a whole) and got lots to watch!

Kids are playing the Wii, and I just came in from a two hour walk with the dog. Back is tight as a result but in the long run I think I will be better for it. I am trying to work my way back up to 10000 steps a day (the walk was 12000). It’s the first day in 3 months I have walked that far for sure.

All for now off to watch some mindless comedy!
