what i'm playing this week (crackdown edition)

well, in the tradition of playing games i missed out on when they were new, and going even further back i've been revisiting an impulse buy i made when i got the xbox, crackdown.

i forgot how much fun it was just traveling around in the game, and i'm looking forward to finally leveling up my agent and getting to see what level 4 agility, guns and driving are like. sounds like fun in italics.

i'm also excited to announce that, since it is impossible to avoid any longer-with the start of playoff hockey-i have buckled and bought cable.

i was avoiding it for a number of reasons, one being the writers strike at the end of 2007, and another being cost.

but i've picked up rogers vip service for $52 a month as well as bundled it with internet for under $100 (which is close to how much we were shelling out to bell just for internet-they hadn't mentioned that we were going over our bandwidth and paying almost double the cost of a regular bill!).

last weekend was a blowout in terms of actual rest since jen had visitors from out of town and i had a s***ton of work to get done for monday. hopefully this weekend, with the inclement weather, will let us veg in front of our newfound 125+ channels (probably less in reality) and enjoy a weekend of inactivity.

from my couch, salutations,
