I love the graphics in Castlvania games. Too darn hard for me though. I played Dark Castle around that time. Sort of similar game for the Apple Mac, but not as hard. 

Damn, the Onion is so great. "systems to be thrown in the goddamn garbage where they belong", lol. 

I've been reading these Time/Life history books like, This Fabulous Century and came across an Onion book called This Dumb Century. I had to read it. F'n great! Loved it!

I saw Godzilla. It seemed fairly good but I never really got emotionally involved in it. I like the old ones a little better because they have this long battles between the monsters and you get to see those cool model sets get destroyed. Something is lacking with CG. 

I want to see The Dead Don't Die later this month. 

As for the summer, nothing is really hitting me. I saw the trailers for X-Men, Terminator and Spider-Man but none of them really grabbed me. Although, I saw Mysterio in the Spider-Man trailer so I might have to see that for him.

Oh, and by the way, I noticed Captain America as a quest giver in Disney Infinity 2.0. I keep thinking they thought to bring her to the screen fairly recently but even in 2014 she was in this game. 

Interesting games on the PS4 making me not want to trade it in as I have been thinking lately. 

I missed a Games with Gold freebee today. Somehow when I tried to download it earlier in the week, it didn't register. Now it's off the list and I'm out of luck. It was Comic Jumper. It was probably not my type of game anyway, but I'm annoyed because I haven't missed a single one until now. 

I got through page 150 before my deadline ended. There's no way to note that on Goodreads.

It was a 50th anniversay edition with a preface by Mailer. He said some interesting things about being influenced by Tolstoy. Something about developing empathy for the characters. I noticed he used an omniscent narrator and got deeply into the heads of all the characters.

I also noticed his use of the word "fug" in place of the other "f" word. I guess that curse was unacceptable in 1948. If it was acceptable, the book would've had the most uses of the "f" word in any book, I think. 

I've heard of that. I also realized today that The Orange Box is backwards compatible with XBO, so I can replay Half-life 2 and the added chapters again if I want. 

When you get to that phone bit, let me know how you did it. I may return to it. 

Gems of War keeps reminding me how much I want to play a new Puzzle Quest game. Why didn't they keep doing those?

I think rotary phones were even a bit outdated when I was growing up in the 80s. It took me a minute to remember how to do it.
