Nibbs XXIV (Page 7)

Aaaw hang in there... how are the kids doing? 

Aaaw that is tough... especially since it feels like loosing a best friend. Im sure Oliver will also miss his buddy in his own way.

Im sorry its so tough Pam... have a BIG BEAR hug:

Just a drive-by good mornin', Nibbs!

Pam... hang in there.  Know it will be a tough day for your family.

Drive by....Morning Nibbs.  Hope Jen, Kristen and I don't find the race muddled up into a du for the hurricane. 

Pam, I cried for a week when Trouble died (he was my 16 yr old orange and white tabby...the first of a long line of orange/white tabbys for me).  Hang in there!

sesh - 2008-09-03 9:31 AM Y'all be careful with Hannah coming, and I hope the race can stay on.  On the bright side, the rains left behind can make for some great runs.  I had some really funny looks yesterday

And you think the funny looks had to do with the rain?

:P

Made that one too easy for ya

Kristen, your monkeys are adorable.

Good morning Nibbs.  I'm jetlagged and getting ready for work.

SO MUCH AWESOME!!!

We are not going to Japan.    My husband got eliminated in Round 3 (Geometry Wars) because he got stuck in the hardest group of 3.  Oh well.  We still had a great time and got to skip lines and be in the front for panels, concerts, etc because of it.

Jerry and Mike are so nice.  Kara is really nice too.  We got a chance to hang out with Mike and Kara before Peggle when Mike sat down next to my hubby and then they were talking to us. 

Jonathan Coulton was awesome!!  Also the FreezePops were a blast.  MCFrontalot sat down behind us and wouldn't make us move to sit closer to the stage. 

 I'm super excited about Spore.  It looks really cool.  I think this is the game I am most excited about after seeing the developer speech.

Fallout3 was playable and very cool.  I hear Left for Dead was amazing, but I didn't play it.  The new RockBand has some great music.  Not so sold on new Guitar Hero.  Little Big Planet is pretty cool.  I'm also really excited about that.

Any games I didn't cover that you want to know about?

Keynote was Ken Levine from 2k/irrational.  We couldn't go because it was the same time as the 2nd round of Omegathon.

I didn't play Force Unleashed because we have the Xbox Live demo.  It's pretty cool.  

I don't think Prototype was there, but I'm not sure.

Spore is a game of evolution.  You start as a one-celled aquatic creature and you eat things to determine if you are omnivore, herbivore, carnivore.  You get parts and change your creature.  Then you become a land creature and do the same.  Next you have a tribe, then a civilization, then advanced civilization, then space.  Check out their website (spore.com).  It looks so awesome and I cannot wait to get to play it for real.  The demos were pretty short.

Oh, and we want to go next year, but it may be hard to swing because we have to do a lot of family things next summer - my bro is graduating from college and we have a family reunion in July.  If we can afford the plane tickets we will most definitely be there.

Otherwise, we'll go in 2010.

I was thinking 2010 as well, since the move to AU is going to be rather costly, so I doubt I'll be doing a WHOLE lot of traveling next year. The year after is looking good though. Would be great to meet up and enjoy PAX with some like-minded people.

Agreed.  Everyone at PAX is great, too.  I've never been to a convention like it.  It was really just lots of people hanging out and playing games.  A big community.
