Instead of playing Gears or messing around in Crackdown, I decided to rent Saints Row. I was thinking that because SR is developed by the same group(s) that were involved in Crackdown it might be fun. Guess again. SR is like the mentally deficient bastard step-child abandoned in a special care facility cell. Or maybe just should be. The controls were horrible and the gameplay wasn't even mediocre. SR is going back.
The only good thing to come out of renting SR was the exercise I received by walking to/from Blockbuster. It was a four mile hike, round trip, taking just over an hour (I took my time in the store). I'm surprised I can even walk today, but even more amazing is that nothing hurts today. Apparently my body likes this form of exercise, so maybe I'll try walking daily for an hour or so.
Checking local news, South Florida now has killer bees. Seems several nests of Africanized honeybees have been found in and around cities close to where I live. This is not good news to me as I have some allergy issues with bee stings. I guess I'll have to make sure I carry a cell phone when I'm out walking. Maybe visit the doctor and see if she can suggest/prescribe an emergency injector if I should get attacked. Quick EMT response is my best bet though.
Update: Returned SR and got Lost Planet. Also signed up for GameFly, the service appears to be a better value than Blockbuster. They are sending out RB6-Vegas & Cars. I guess my gaming is set for the next month or so.
