Civilization Revolution

Anyone else out there a Civilization freak like me? I was really excited to hear about Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution coming out for the consoles at E3.

I have been a huge fan since the first Civ came out almost 20 years ago. 20 years? Wow, that's incredible. I didn't have my own computer, so I would go to my friend's house and play on his. We played it using DOS. I would stay up all night playing that game after he went to bed.

Rock Band

I went to the Rock Band website (http://www.rockband.com/home.html) last night and checked out the news and details about the game. If you haven't yet, I recommend it. This game is going to be great. The drum kit looks especially fun. I imagine if you're skilled enough, you could hook the mic up on a stand and play guitar or drum while singing. I'm not sure I'm coordinated enough. I saw the song list which sounds great as well.

Great camping trip!

This last weekend was great for camping and fishing. My wife, kids, and I left Anchorage and headed for Whiskey Gulch. We met my cousin-in-laws, their kids, and another couple. We stayed two nights, went out fishing in Cook Inlet four times, and came back with 9 halibut between the 6 adults. The water could not have been calmer, and the sky could not have been more blue on the last day. We were all sunburned by the time we got home. My wife's cousin caught the biggest halibut, around 55 lbs. I caught the most at 3, but only probably totaled 50 lbs. The kids had fun.

Here fishy fishy!

Leaving for the weekend to go camping down near Homer, AK to catch some halibut. This annual trip usually supplies my and my cousin-in-law's families with enough halibut for a year. Watching Ferris Bueller on TV right now. That's such a classic movie. I love the line from the garage attendant who looks at Ferris and says, "What country you think this is?" after Ferris asks if he speaks English. Such a funny expression on his face. I watched the video of Rock Band from Harmonix at E3. That looks great. I can't wait to get my kids playing bass and drums. We'll rock the living room for sure.

Must need a new game

I keep staring at my stack of games and try to decide which to play. I can't though. I have many games I haven't finished yet, but they just aren't appealing to me right now. I wish games weren't so expensive, so I could get something new. I do have two games from Gamefly right now, Tony Hawk P8 and Just Cause. I really liked TH but I'm ranked 3rd in the game, and all the challenges left take so much time to complete, it's lost its appeal, not to mention each challenge now takes me hours to complete. Just Cause hasn't really held my attention. Is this game just a Central American GTA?
