Hosive

it is rare that i get to finish a video game. the days of unlimited hours of free time are past me. but over 4 months, which is an eternity for a video game beating, i beat zack and wiki for the wii! this was primarily a puzzle game where you are given different objects to be used innovatively in assorted scenarios. for example, you can use an umbrella as a parachute or flip it over and use the hook end to grab a latch just out of reach. some of the puzzles are mind numbingly hard while others are quick aha-s! but they are all for the most part very satisfying. there are a few that are cheap feeling….as in you feel cheated.

theresa and i beat rayman’s raving rabbits last year but with a lot of help from jeremy and steff. before that, i think i beat mario 64! which is over 10 years ago. i remember the good old days with my friend phil beating the mega man x games…all three of them. we were waiting to move to maryland and just killing time. we beat the first one in little under a week. our schedule: wake up, eat lunch, play until dinner, eat some more, play until the wee hours, repeat.

currently i’m playing endless ocean….a deep sea diving game. just explore and catalog. and also super mario galaxy. it’ll take me a year to beat that at the rate i go. my boy, brandon just beat it in little less than 2 weeks?
