  dragon age marathon

  So I'm about 80% through Dragon Age, 50 hours into it, just got that one last push to get through. What a game. I've never played a game with so many consequences. You try to do the right thing, it comes back to bite you hard. You do the wrong thing, your crew might turn on you. Hell, you often don't know what is the right thing to do. I think I've done a good job of managing the like-o-meter, but it ain't easy. There's a fine line between a reliable friend and a frisky flame.

  I think I'll play it again; this time, I'll court Leliana as a female Dalish elf!

  prolific!

  I've been making up for lost time since I started the ol' Gamefly thing. I plowed through Prototype, Resistance, and Resistance 2 in about a week, each one a lot of fun but light enough on content that I'm glad I didn't purcahse (although I would snag up Prototype if I found it under $20). Next up are Dead Space and Little Big Planet...I might keep the latter if it's as good as everyone raves.I'd better hurry; my pre-order of Dragon Age should arrive any day now. Once that bomb drops, I won't be doing much of anything else.

  NYC to SLC

  I just returned from NYC again. This time I did not get sick, which was awesome. It ended up being more of a food tour than anything else, but still it was enjoyable. I ate at the famous Katz's deli, which is crazy busy but still delicious. We also tried some old-fashioned NYC-style pizza from Patsy's, which was also delicious, even though I still prefer Chicago-style pizza.

  Afterwards, my wife and I hiked the Connecticut mountains. We lost the trail, and yet managed to scale the summit on what turned out to be the most difficult non-path possible. I still have shin splints.

  Now I have 1 day to do a mountain of work before boarding a plane (probably?) for Salt Lake again. Fun friggin times.
