I Sway Like The Reeds

I listen to the Penny Arcade Podcast. It’s one of my favorites. But lately because of computer problems I haven’t been able to stay up to date. That and when exactly am I going to listen to it? I don’t really like listening to my iPod when I’m awake and with Kim because I like spending time with her and I’m not going to listen to it when Annie’s awake because I don’t see her enough as it is what with work and her early bedtime. I wont’ listen to it when I’m going to sleep because I’ll no doubt miss the end. It doesn’t take long for me to fall asleep.

So at lunch, when I usually stay in the office I listen to podcasts. You never know what’s going to be featured so it’s always best to listen to it when manning is at a minimum. I was in the mood for something I had never heard before so I listened to Sarcastic Gamer’s podcast and loved it. It made me want to get back into gaming. Honestly, I would trade or sell my Wii to get an Xbox 360 NOT because I don’t love the Wii but because I think Nintendo is a tricky bastard in their business techniques.

I have to keep the Wii of course because of the few games on it I really enjoy but honestly, I have more fun with the 360. I could probably get Kim to play with me on the 360, though what game that would be I don’t know. She’s not big into shooters (neither am I but GOW is pretty amazing), but I’m sure there’s something out there we can play together. And we could sit on the couch and not move around so much. Even though it’s fun for a while, sometimes you just want to play games and relax, not work up a sweat practicing your boxing moves. It’s also a ton easier to turn on and off. What a trivial thing, I know but when you can turn it off and not have to worry about also turning off the wireless sensor, life is sweet. A lot of batteries die because a house occupant forgets to turn it off.

Relaxing...

Not Relaxing.

But anyway, the point of all of this is two days ago I was ready to never push the power button on the Wii and now I’m itching to buy a whole new console (and one more game for the Wii). I’m easily swayable.

I know what I want to buy when I come back from my next deployment! Something 2/3 of the family could really enjoy!
