Hot Games

It has been near or over 100 degrees since Friday.



Tonight is much cooler. The weekend seemed too hot to do much of anything productive around the house.



I did plop myself in front of the computer and work through a computer game. A while back I stumbled across an "older" list of the "20 greatest Adventure Games." I've always been a sucker for adventure games (something to do with a sick inner drive to solve problems I guess.....that and they are silly games......). I resolved to play the list.

Most games I've played before. I started working through the list this winter. Day of the Tentacle (which is a funny game....recommended for anyone who still has the hardware or wherewithall to take up such a task). The Secret of Monkey Island (a very funny game....a game about pirates and monkeys.....what could be better?). King's Quest VI (a technically good piece of software....game isn't that funny though, but from Sierra).

This weekend's game: Broken Sword; Shadow of the Templars. This game was originally published in the US under the name "Circle of Blood". The game had a solid engrossing story. I sat down and couldn't stop playing.....typical gamer....I'll stop in an hour....OK 'nother hour.....shootz I have to almost be done now; just another hour.



I was productive Sunday though, made it to the gym and made good progress on getting the floor plan of my house drafted. Once that's done, then not only will I have a useful tool for planning house projects, but I will be able to calculate the volume of the attics to figure out how much ventilation they need and the yardage of paint I'll need to paint the exterior.

Current Movie in the DVD Player: Goodfellas
Current Book: Great Expectations

Things on the list to do: Finish houseplan and get that soffit put together before attempting window repairs. Clean. Sleep and Eat. All in random order.....
