So, life goes well for this Vermonter. Gaming wise they rarely get better. The last few weeks have been incredible. I've been playing Dragon Age almost every night with my wife watching eagerly. She won't fess up to it but she kind of has a virtual crush on Alistair. She enjoys his goofy awkwardness which makes sense as that's one of the reasons she married me.

I swear at this point she probably knows more about the game than I do. She had me start a third game yesterday just because she had read the City Elf opening was really good. It was, for the record. I really do love the dark tone of this game. Very George R.R. Martin in some places, which is good as I love his brand of adult fantasy and lord knows he's never going to finish the Song of Fire and Ice series.

Resident Evil 2 finally hitting the PSN also made me very happy. I sincerely love this game. It wouldn't have made my Top 10 Games of My Life list if I didn't. I'm finding as I play through it that despite some clunky controls, it still holds up remarkably well. The graphics can be a bit dated, but it's harder to notice some of the flaws when you're playing it on your PSP. The smaller screen really helps to make things look a bit less pixelated in my experience. It's just easily the best game in the series. Great story. Great gameplay. Great horror.

I will say that I'm a bit stalled on my Top 10 list. I keep intending to write more, but stuff gets in the way, it seems. Moreover, some of the entries I intend to write are seeming less interesting to me as time goes by. That could just be me being a lazy writer. I am notorious for starting fiction stories and then tapering off as I get bored and I suspect I'm doing the same here. I'll just have to play through the pain and get one done. I'll shoot for this weekend!

Oh and while I did swear off using Destructoid as a platform for pimping out my games writing. I just started writing the game's column at Orson Scott Card's online literary magazine the Intergalactic Medicine Show. Give it a gander if you please!

Alright then! Not much else going on and the misses and I have a date to go watch Die Hard with some friends! Later folks!
