I’d best be bloggin’ before the natives get restless. I stopped by Best Buy this past weekend to get the Iron Giant SE DVD. Those bastards didn’t even have it up in front with all the new releases. I ended up digging through the “Family” section, and even then it was hidden behind some other lousy family movie. $15 as the msrp isn’t bad though, and after a viewing with Richard, Tommy and Nathan, it’s slowly inching its way towards being an essential.
On my past couple of visits to Best Buy, I’ve been playing Katamari Damacy on the demo booths, and that game is a load of fun if you haven’t tried it yet. You control a little alien prince who pushes around his katamari ball which sticks to everything, and overtime it builds up mass and grows bigger and bigger. It’s one of those games that’s so simple yet addicting that it makes me want to get a PS2 just to play it.
Speaking of games, Half-Life 2 is everything it was hyped up to be. The physics are seriously insane, yet aren’t so complex that they ruin the gameplay. I must have spent a good 30 minutes just stacking up barrels with the gravity gun.
Highlights of the weekend: Jennie eating a rootbeer float in front of Foster’s Freeze, her hand shaking from the cold weather and saying, “This is so good, I’m gonna eat one everyday.” Then Nathan, walking out of a 7-Eleven with a big furry hat holding a Slurpee. Cold desserts in the winter rule.
