Been a long, long time!

It kind of blows my mind to see that I posted that info about Mafia Wars 3 years ago! I didn't stick with it very long. It ended up being more work than fun, and it overcrowded my FB wall.

I Couldn't tell you how long ago, but for a while I played a game called EdgeWorld. It was kind of fun for a while, but it too became an obligation instead of an entertainment. I have decided to avoid games where you are penalized for not playing. It also sucks playing freemium games when you really don't want to spend any real world cash, but others do and it gives them an in-game advantage.

I played a LOT of Bejeweled Blitz for a long time, but it's been a while. Partly because my soundcard died and I just haven't taken the time to fix it and partly because there was something that started to pop up that struck me as a privacy issue. (Don't remember what it was now.) Sound is not actualy required to play the game, but it seems dead without it.

I posted before that I expected to write about ID Games' Quake series, but I don't see that happening at the moment. I really don't give myself time to get into FPS games these days.

We bought a Wii!
It came with Wii Sports and we (my family and I) really enjoy Wii Bowling. Surprisingly, I love Wii Golf as well. It kind of sucks that it only has 9 holes, so maybe I'll buy a dedicated Golf Game one day. My daughter has Epic Mickey and has a great time with it.

We subscribed to Netflix and stream a LOT of old TV shows through it. We're watching each Star Trek series in order, except that my daughter didn't want to start at TOS, so we started with TNG. We're on DS9 Season one now. My wife got into Charmed and Buffy, and I enjoy watching those with her.

Maybe there's another blog in that for me: Old TV Shows that I love...
