Busy Busy

Busy weekend.

My son's 4th birthday party was this weekend. He and his friends had a great time at E2 Toy to Try. And He got a ton of legos, so we had a good time building some of those when we got home. His grandmother got him Darth Vader's Tie Fighter, which is really cool. Had fun putting that together for him.

Sunday we got a new dryer, so finally getting caught back up on some laundry.

Didn't read anything or write this weekend. Played a little Warhammer Online and Left 4 Dead. Man that game was brtual. Anyone ahve suggesttions for a good co-op game for my wife and I to play? She's not much into shooters, but any other suggestions would be welcome.

Need to rectify the lack of writing, but school has been keeping me so busy I haven't been feeling it. Once the kids have gone up to bed, it's been either homework or just chilling with a video game.

Musically, enjoying Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D. and Nirvana - Live at Reading. The Nirvana disk is pretty much every great song they have. I highly recommend it. The End is great too. Only song I can say I don't like on that is Party All The Time (which gets a "well duh" from me). Also snagged the Halo 3 soundtrack, which I'm assuming will be great to write to once I get back to that.

  1. There are actually two articles I wrote up about the very subject of games to play with your significant other.

    One game which I CANNOT BELIEVE I left out of those articles was Civilization IV. If she has the patience to tackle a steep learning curve, it can provide you two with literally hours of fun. If you both have your own Nintendo DS, you can try Civilization Revolution. It's much easier to learn, and since it's on the DS you can take it anywhere! Enjoy!

  2. Awesome man thanks. We have warhammer to play when we want that kind of thing but were looking for something on the console to play together. We'll have to look into borderlands I think and see how she likes that.

  3. If you are looking for good console co-op games, here are some suggestions:

    New Super Mario Bros Wii
    Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicals (Wii)
    House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)
    Magic: The Gathering (Xbox Live Arcade)
    Guitar Hero

  4. Hey, just wanted to let you know my wife found another cool one. Lord of the Rings: Conquest. Great co-op play and a good challenge. Doesn't follow lore too closely (you can play a wizard and the orcs have wizards too) but we enjoyed it a lot.
