Skyrim Widow = Halo Widow


This article made me laugh. The writer’s boyfriend got Skyrim and widowed her for a few days. I hear Skyrim is amazing and I’m probably glad that Mike’s not really into those sort of games. Felicia Day has many things to say about it, as well as other Twitterers, but I haven't seen it in action and don't know that I will (or need to because I might really, really like it).
The thing I found most entertaining about the article was the experiments she performed on him. I know, of course, that she didn’t really check his pupils and attach heart monitors to him, but it was funny nonetheless. It would never work for me to do such things; I’d likely be in the way of the game. As it is, I’ve figured out how to ninja through our living room, where Mike sits at one end, the 61 inch TV at the other with about 7 feet between them (enough space between the TV and the couch for me to play Dance Central).  
Also, the writer's own private addiction to Plants vs. Zombies… anyone who knows me knows my feelings about this game. Simply put, I love the Zombies. There’ve been several, several occasions where I’ve spent hours playing and not even realized how much time has gone by.  Not to mention all of the other fun tower defense games on the interwebs… Kingdom Rush, Pirates vs. Ninjas, Overlord II Tower Defense. Space Pirates, I still hate you the most (but you are conquered, so there).
This has been the least Halo related blog, but honestly, I’ve been wrapped up in school and books. I’ll pay attention when Mike is able to play the new maps so I can see them and have something new to talk about. Or. I’ll just pay attention to what game he’s playing until I figure it out. Until then, game on. And a new pretty for your eyeballs to look at.
