Raiden X

Raiden X is a "RaidenX is a 2D vertical-shooter Flash game. There are 8 levels and this new version allows you to save your game after each level." I literally stumbled upon this game and gave it a try. There are 8 levels and the ability to save your game at each level makes this a nice game to pass the time. I thought the boss on the first level was too easy, but he came back again. This is a good game, especially for those of us who aren't necessarily hard core gamers. This isn't Halo.
Here is a screen print from right after I finished the first level. Just try and top that!

I Recommend...

My cousin just turned me on to another online comic. I'll be reviewing it soon. But, I found this new Amazon Recommend list and I thought I'd test it out and post some of my favorites...

If you have any recommends, please send them to me and I'll add them to my list.

Mario Kart Wii

This past weekend, I was in Green Bay visiting my grandsons and dropping off Cheryl for the week. Kim had purchased Mario Kart for the Wii, so naturally, I had to play it, too! Well, I had a blast, so I purchased my own version and I've been playing it ever since I got back.

All I can say is my employer should appreciate the fact that I bother to come in when I could be home mastering Mario Kart! I love the fact that you can play with friends online. So, if anyone would like to trounce me in Mario Kart, send me an email and we can exchange friend codes and arrange a time to play.

Tribal Wars

I found this online game called Tribal Wars. You build up your village and try not to get attacked. It's kind of like a slower moving Age of Empires, but online and with other players. It's pretty involved to take over other villages. Anyway, I just thought you would like to know about it. The game's free, but premium accounts are available. I'm playing a quite a few different worlds, so look up Bentley Gadget if you decide to play.

A Small Plea...

In case you didn't notice, I added yet another Amazon widget to this site. Hey, a girl's gotta earn some extra cash. Anyway, this is called (big drum roll) a Carousel. I think it is kind of cool.

So, if I could make just a small plea. If you're ordering from Amazon, please start here. It puts a few cents in my pocket and it takes no extra time.

Just a small plea.

Wii Anyone?

For my birthday, my wife bought me a Wii. Woo Hoo! I finally have a gaming system when it's still cool.

Anyway, my niece informed me that I'm too old for a Wii. Video games weren't invented for people my age. Nevermind that I practically grew up in the video game generation, I'm just going to hurt myself playing it and I should give it up.

Now, I'm forty, but nothing made me feel old until my niece informed me that I'm way too old to play Wii. I mentioned that I've been playing The Legend of Zelda: Twlight Princess. (I've been playing since Christmas and only on weekends. I've got 96 hours of play time and I'm not even halfway done.)

Well, apparently, I'm not even that cool anymore. According to my 14 year old niece, Legend of Zelda is lame.

What are you going to do? I guess I won't be talking to my niece about much -- at least not until I solve the game.

BTW, if anyone knows exactly when and where you find that damn pike fish, so I can get the sinking lure -- please post the answer. Stupid fish!
