Where Life Had No Value, Death Sometimes Had Its Price

Yesterday we spent some time messing around with the Kinect and a few of the launch titles. Hooking it up was quite easy, calibration a piece of cake, voice commands work fine, and it even recognized movement in a dimly lit room.

While Kinect Sports was quite fun to play, especially with two teams competing against each other, Dance Central was hilarious, and we established early on that Adam would be voted off in the first round of So You Think You Can Dance.

Prior to our escapades, we saw Red, a funny action movie with Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parkerand Morgan Freeman. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. It was good stuff.

Go Feed Those Hogs Before They Worry Themselves Into Anemia!

Looks like yesterday's 100+ updates on my freshly installed gaming computer was not the end of it, as today two updates triggered the SP1, a subsequent 47 more patches, followed by numerous reboots, which in turn resulted in a 500 MB SP2. Maybe I'll be done in a couple of days. Who knows what's next?

In the midst of all the updating, there was very little time to play Vindictus (I finally started an alt playing as the new Evie mage character), but more time to watch TV. As if we did not have enough to keep track of, we added Blue Bloods (new cop series with Donnie Wahlberg and Tom Selleck), as well as The Walking Dead (zombies!). Apart from a few episodes of the aforementioned shows, we also checked out the latest Fringe, Hawaii Five-0, Sons Of Anarchy and Weeds.
