Lots more Forza 2. Now I have some bad cramps in my hand.

I ordered a Powerball on Friday from Amazon but chose free delivery so it's probably going to take two weeks. It was that or an extra £4.50. It's supposed to help with RSI as well as be mildly amusing for a few minutes.

Powerball - The new Yoyo/Rubik's Cube/Pogs.

I got my Powerball in the post today. It took a few tries to get it going but I've got the hang of it now. I could only get up to 8,435 at most but I'm sure that will improve with practice. My arms are going to drop off If I carry on right now.

Playing Forza 2. The Limited Edition is totally worth it. The book that comes with it is a good read for car enthusiasts.

Also playing Asphalt 2 for the DS and more Morrowind GOTY.

Played the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam demo on the 360 last night. Kinda meh. Controls well. But I didn't like the camera at all.

Played until 5AM last night.    My cousin had his bachelor party and had 2 42 inch HDTVs set up for all-night system-linked gaming on 360. Played much Guitar Hero 2 and a variety of Halo 2 games (Slayer, Rocketball, Crazy King, and Team Slayer 4vs4).

Gonna try some Sniper Elite out.

Beat the first 3? or so levels in Sniper Elite.

It's pretty freaking sweet. Just up my alley with realistic shooting (you can make it wayyy realistic with pulse and wind and posture, i just played rookie) and stealth.

The story is sweet too.

Backgammon on Pogo with Sue.

I'm up to level 40 in Forza 2. It suddenly smacked me in the face today that I'm getting bored with the game. Probably because it was three days nonstop of racing around the same tracks in similar cars.


I've got my Powerball to 10,394 rpm. I can now flick start it with my thumb instead of using string.

More skull smashing, brain exploding fun with Sniper Elite.

More skull smashing, brain exploding fun with Sniper Elite.

A very underrated game, threat of accurate enemy snipers makes this more intense than just about any war game I've ever played. I always like games where you play the patient predator employing "one shot one kill".
