Darn, if you wanted to make a video game related Saw movie, you'd put some people in a room with all these Wii games, and see who comes out partially insane but alive.

Yea, the ads that clearly have access to your search history spook me a little bit.

I think my slight issues of muscle fatigue of late are related to low protein. So I'm going to up the dose and see what happens.

I cut back on Saturday gaming a while back. Now it's just Sunday/Monday. I'd like to get to 20 hours a week max, but right now I'm more like 25. Then there's the writing. I think I'm going to stop writing in the afternoons so I can do more exercise stuff and just write a couple times a week.

I looked at the achievements for to Ultimate Evil Edition last night. I think, while I have Diablo III still, I'll start new characters and level them. Then I'll have them when I get UEE. One of the achievements in UEE is getting six different characters to level 70. I imagine there's a trophy for that in the PS4 version.

For me, Mii Plaza keeps eating up my time.

I was looking at the demon design in Diablo III and wondered why they weren't scarier or more profane. I mean, since sexuality is such a bugaboo in Christianity (which this game seems really to be based on - I saw a backdrop that looked like a part of the sistine chapel and Diablo could easily be called Satan), why don't the demons portray gortesque organs or revel in inuendo or outright profanity. Even the Queen of the Lustful (or whatever her name was) doesn't really express any sexuality except by suggestive tone of voice. I feel like it's another example of how games are really just entertainment and can't take any risk at offending anyone. That may change though, but I think only indie games are going to be more daring.

I found Hard difficulty pretty good for the whole game. Hardcore though is a different story. I'm on Medium and I'm worried I set it too difficult for Act III. We'll see though.

Mentally, just today, I started accepting that Xbox 360 was done. For new games, I'm only going current gen now.

A little while ago I was going through all the Doctor Who episodes I never saw that came out before the Tom Baker years. I'm kinda too busy with gaming now to watch anything much except for a few documentaries on youtube here and there. I will see the Star Wars movie when it comes out and Chappie next month by the makers of District 9.

Also, I was reserching the Dune books just last week for part of one of my blogs. I definitely read the first three and then part of the next trilogy before I lost interest. Those first three are great though and I'd read them again.
