Never a better time for gaming …

… and never a worse time to watch TV! Big Brother is back. Not only that, but the finale of Biggest Loser has kicked Smallville from TEN HD for the week and the Logies means waiting an extra week for part 2 of the CSI episode shown last Sunday. TV has never been such a bore!

The gaming scene is alive! Brawl is out (well, we have to import NTSC versions, but it is out), Mario Kart Wii is out, GTA IV is out — I’ll need to buy a playstation 3 for that — and Wii Fit is out next week. Holy how sweet!

If you’re not gaming — what are you waiting for? Get into it!

  How's the PS3 going then? :)

  Don't know if you watch it, but Stargate Atlantis's new season looks promising (at least from the first episode).
  
  Eureka is also coming back. Not that it's a brilliant show, but it does have a charm.
  
  As far as gaming, I'm waiting for: Red Alert 3, Starcraft 2, Diablo 3.
  
  Potentially looking at a console as well, XBOX360 or Wii, but most likely would need to be a Wii to be able to convince my other half it's a good purchase.

  Agreed. Diablo 3 will be worth waiting for!

Sonic, Brawl and Jackets

Nintendo have been busy of late! First, an announcement of free wii remote jackets to improve grip and safety. Today, an update for the Wii that allows a USB keyboard to be used with it (why, I don't know!)—but the news, the BIG news, is (on every blog I am sure) …

Sonic is joining Smash Bros!

Ultimate late night shopping

Me and my stack of transformers — it's taller than I am!

Tonight we went ultimate late night shopping. There are many toy sales on and transformers are everywhere due to the new movie (very cool, go see it!) The sales are great. I caved and bought the Wii game. And the Harry Potter game. And Bonecrusher. Then we went to another store and I got Megatron, Optimus, Starscream, Blackout, Ironhide and Ratchet. I showed restraint and did not buy Brawl or Jazz. Well, they weren't on special! Maybe tomorrow! ;)

Speaking of tomorrow, and of shopping, I got some Robot Heroes for my work buddies, as tomorrow is my last day. They'll miss me, but this well help remind them there are more important things out there in the world, namely the Autobot–Decepticon war!

We also had Subway (yum) and ultimate shakes from Wendy's

What else is ultimate? Smash Attacks!!

  Nice figure...s ;)
  Are you going to keep them mint? Or are they to be freed from their plastic entombment for posing, etc.?

•  Ben said:

  Two remain unopened at this stage, but surely not for too much longer! I don't think they truly qualify as transformer toys until you open and transform them!

  How very Toy Story of you. My nephew comes over to visit and can leap into any of my toys.
  
  EXCEPT... for the Star Wars Lego. Some things are not meant for destructive nephews. ^_^
