Updates

I just did a little maintenance to my right side columns. I'm also trading my Gamefly copy of The Simpsons Game for Golden Compass (the book).

Demo updates:

• Tried the Two Worlds demo for about 5 minutes. The controls and animations felt very last gen. The options UI was hard to read and use. My first encounter was with a bear that killed me. Buh-bye.

Games I'm playing updates:

• I finally stopped fooling myself re: Halo 3. There's no way I'm going to play through the single player campaign unless I do it co-op with a friend. There are simply too many other awesome single player games right now.
• I also stopped dragging my feet on Overlord. I strangely became quite attached to this fantasy RPG version of Pikmin. I loved the concept of minions and was taken back to the good old days of Wizardry III: Return of Werdna in that I got to play the bad guy. Anyhow, it's going back to Gamefly so that I can get my hands on the next game in my Q.
• I've decided (for now) to play through Half Life 2 again. I started off just showing it to my girlfriend and got caught up in it. I would like to see Episodes 1 & 2. It's just like I remembered it: Awesome!
