That jerk Scalzi kept me up until 4:30 am, Saturday. I thought he was going to pull a Whedon in the last chapter of Old Man’s war.

Some of my favorite games that bit my exploration bug, in no order:
Super Metroid
Blaster Master
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Phantasy Star
World of Warcraft
Fallout 3
Castle Crashers (seriously! I had to know where it went next)
The Secret of Evermore
Loom

Speaking of games, one of the games we played with Lucy’s family was Pit – the trading card-game. Lotsa shouting for numbers. Very funny. I declared myself the most obnoxious player because I wouldn’t just hold the number of cards up I wanted to trade, I would slide them into the other player’s lap, where they pretty much had to take them. :D

Hehehe. I love Scalzi’s Old Man’s War books.
It was my first time reading it. I’ll have to pick up Ghost Brigade
I still have my cartridge copy of Blaster Master! =)
