So yesterday went more or less entirely against any plan I had made up. The movie and shopping extravaganza turned into a day playing Team Fortress 2, Call of Duty 4, and Assassin’s Creed. Oh, and a brilliant little game called Peggle. But more on that later.
Sara had a bachelorette party with some friends, so she was gone from 9:00 p.m. until about 3:00 a.m. Of course by this time I was well asleep after a rousing solo viewing of The Count of Monte Cristo, a favorite movie of mine by the way. She seemed to have really enjoyed herself and had plenty of nice little “toys” for the honeymoon; more on that after the ‘moon.
Peggle is an absolutely remarkable game. How I have went so long without discovering it is well beyond me. The premise of the game is basically a mix between Puzzle Bobble and a game from The Price is Right called Plinko. You start by shooting your single colored ball onto pegs, there are many different colors of pegs and I don’t have all the details from the demo I played. It’s a very strategic game, giving you only ten balls to bounce around and clear more than two-hundred pegs. While that sounds incredibly difficult, trust me its not. You have different “powers” as well. Hitting a green peg or block will unleash one of ten “powers” available in the game, all based on animals like a turtle, unicorn, or squirrel. For the demo the unicorn power was unlocked, giving you a “guiding” power when picked up. If this sort of tickles your funny part then by all means, download the demo from here. Come back here and let me know what you think of it.
No movie review today, as I did not see any movies. Perhaps next week? Who knows.
I caught a glitch a couple of days ago in Team Fortress 2. I joined a server, chose a scout, and the game immediately ended. I was greeted with a small screen saying that I had been alive as a scout for more than an hour. This was unquestionably wrong, as I had just joined the server. I thought it would just sort of “not happen” but on the loading screen I was proven wrong by reading that I was indeed alive for a total of two hours as a spy. Very odd indeed.
Until next time, boys and girls =)
