Game Review – Too Human from Silicon Knights (Xbox 360)
Silicon Knights’ Denis Dyack, the driving force behind Too Human, caused a stir when he first A) showed a painfully crude build of the game at E3 in 2006 and then 2) bitched and whined about gaming press and internet forum communities when they called him on it. Ever since then it seems like Dyack has been out there wielding both snark and unflattering defensiveness in an effort to convince us that Too Human really is a great game, guys!
I’m heading out to Christmas dinner at my sister-in-law’s sister’s house soon. This is probably the one event (maybe Thanksgiving, too) of the year where even I will admit that a hoodie might not be appropriate. So to the detriment of my absolute comfort, but to the benefit of my he-cleans-up-well-edness, I rifled through my winter clothes and found some suitable duds. Santa was good to me this year. I got a lot of great gifts (GPS yesssssss!) and have enjoyed being with my family. Merry Christmas, everyone! OK I’m off. Next stop egg nog, cheese platters, wine, and then stuffing my face even more. I’ll be missing those drawstrings before the night is done.
I’m relaxing at my brother’s, watching It’s a Wonderful Life, and having a beer (or three). I’m all alone for the time being, but my mom is on her way and my brother and his family will be home around midnight. I’m missing Nate a whole bunch tonight, but I’m glad he’s with his family. Merry Christmas y’all! And be safe! There’s a killer robot Santa out there!!!
Nate’s in town to attend the LGBT Blogger & Citizen Journalist Initiative (a conference & series of workshops for the homoblogosphere) and I did a little metroing with him earlier today. Helping him plan out this trip has gotten me all excited about living so close to DC for the first time in a while. Here’s hoping I stay excited and do a little exploring even after he’s gone home.
