I’m normally a PC gamer, but I bought a Wii a couple years ago.

beat Bayonetta

Published: 15 March 2010
I beat Bayonetta already, but perhaps I should note I was playing it on Easy. I had first started the game in Normal mode, the hardest difficulty available, but after dying like crazy trying to get through one area, I switched it to Easy and just carried on like that. I’m playing through [...]

got a PS3

Published: 4 March 2010
Just a quick note to say Best Buy happened to get some 120GB PS3’s in today and I just happened to call at the right time, squeal “Omigod, can you hold one?!”, and buy one. :) I couldn’t find Eternal Sonata at either Best Buy or Gamestop, so I ended up with Bayonetta [...]

PS3’s hard to find

Published: 27 February 2010
I just wanted to buy a 120GB Playstation 3 but apparently everyone around here is sold out of them. I figured the console has been out for a few years and the 120GB version came out in I think September, so I didn’t even consider that they would be hard to come by. [...]

Sims 3 World Adventures arrived

Published: 17 November 2009
Whoo, The Sims 3: World Adventures arrived today! I had preordered it on EA’s site but was dubious about it 1) arriving the day it was released (i.e. today) and 2) actually being left on my doorstep/mailbox versus being stashed in some package center for me to go and pick up with my [...]

PC hard drive dying

Published: 8 November 2009
I don’t know if I blogged about it, but I certainly complained on Twitter about my Macbook hard drive eating itself at the beginning of the semester. Well, just this morning my Windows hard drive in my PC started acting up. When I booted the computer, I got a “DISK READ ERROR INSERT [...]

AC Toolkit hack to fix grass

Published: 28 July 2009
So while reading about Animal Crossing: City Folk earlier, I tried to find a way to restore some of my grass, which has been wearing away to brown dirt everywhere. Turns out there’s quite a stink over the “feature” Animal Tracks that Nintendo built into the game. The idea was that grass [...]

Animal Crossing and Photoshop

Published: 26 July 2009
I just finished a long bout of Animal Crossing: City Folk with Jon’s sister-in-law, who recently got the game. I was quite tickled to see that her town’s native fruit is oranges, whereas mine is cherries, so we were able to trade and now I have another fruit that’ll get me 500 Bells [...]

Animal Crossing City Folk error

Published: 3 May 2009
FYI for anyone who has a similar issue:  I tried to play Animal Crossing City Folk on the Wii and after opening up my game, it suddenly gave the Wii error message “An error has occurred”, along with telling me to hit Eject, remove the disc, and turn the power off.  I was able to [...]

games and finals

Published: 15 December 2008
I’ve been playing American McGee’s Alice recently and seeing all the environments and their beautifully detailed textures again, especially with my new video card, has made me want them as wallpaper and flooring in The Sims 2. I remember for the original Sims game, I found a huge collection of Alice walls and floors [...]

bought a Wii Fit

Published: 4 July 2008
Well, Todd left for Ireland last night, and he should’ve arrived there sometime very early this morning, at least by Eastern Standard Time. I won’t see him for eleven days now, and I’m already kind of sad and missing him. My biggest worry whenever someone dear to me travels is that they’ll get [...]
