BLURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR . And lots of it. I only got it yesterday, and I've been playing the crap out of that game. IT IS SO MUCH FUN. Some of the races are a bit challenging, and I had to do a few do-overs, but it's not like I'm throwing controllers or anything. I'm sad I missed the chance to play with the GB crew, but hopefully I'll be joining this Friday's Friday Night Blur . Also, I tu...

Also, I turned on Trauma Center: New Blood, played it for about a minute, and fell over LAUGHING. Why? Let me explain. The first bit of the game is set in Alaska. I live in Alaska, and the town name mentioned (Fairbanks, look it up, it's a real town) was familiar to me. It is said that the first patient... "Tried to pick a fight with a grizzly." 
 
... 
 
WHO DOES THAT!? 
 
Who honestly sees a bear, of all things, and says "I'm gonna go beat the crap outta that thing!" (Also, he ignores the tour guide's warnings about how he probably shouldn't be picking a fight with a six-foot-tall grizzly bear in the middle of a mild snowstorm.)
 
*sigh* Whatever, whatever. I'm enjoying the game, I guess. For some reason, though, I can't play it for extended periods of time. Something bugs me about the characters, I don't know what it is. 
 
Anyway, that's what I've been playing, and I hope to play some Borderlands on Saturday with a friend who just got his copy.
