So my trip to the dentist yesterday was interesting.
I will say that it didn't feel like 90 minutes in the
chair. They put my temporary crown on yesterday and
aside from my gums being sore and a little bleeding
when I brushed last night, everything seems okay. But
it has been a little rough chewing because of the
sore gums. That should make Easter interesting.
Speaking of Easter, apparently I will be hosting Easter this year despite my lack of table. That should prove interesting. I think no one else wanted to have to clean up. We're doing Easter on Friday though as that was when everyone was available. I suppose I should maybe vacuum and clean the bathroom. I've just been ignoring a growing amount of beard clippings for some time now.
In the hectic schedule of the week, I did manage to install and try 3 game demos. The Punisher was okay but not really something I'd buy as I'm not a big fan of 3rd person shooters. There was a bowling game I trying which I believe was called Rocket Bowling. That was actually really fun and I'm debating on shelling out the $20 for the full version.
Finally, Star Wars Republic Commando. Let me put it this way, if you like Rainbow Six, you will like Republic Commando. The idea is that you are leader of this 4 person squad. Well that's fine and good, but as with most co-op AI, your 3 team mates are completely braindead unless you direct them. I'm not a fan of this approach in a FPS. the game is nice because it lets you "resurrect" your teammates when the idiots die, but if you die the odds of the 3 morons actually surviving on their own long enough to resurrect you is very low. But they should have just made a regular FPS and then in the multiplayer added a co-op feature. And I had one Star Wars continuity complaint too. Since when have their been shotguns in the Star Wars universe? Haven't we moved on to blasters and such? Why am I shooting little lead projectiles at things?
So that has been my week at home. I've been doing updates at work, which is nice because it affords me some time to read while I wait for an update to complete. I've decided to try to continue reading "A Series of Unfortunate Events" by Lemony Snicket. In my opinion the books would receive a PG-13 based on movie ratings. They seem a little to violent to be children's books. But we'll see, I'm on book 4 now but we'll see how far I get.
Tonight promises to be good. I'll have to do some cleaning for Easter tomorrow. But aside from that I'm upgrading the RAM in my Gateway to 1GB and my Mac Mini came today. Don't you just love new toys?
