...That's also why I have all my stuff shipped to the office now. USPS will just leave a note and have me come pick stuff up, but Fedex and UPS will leave it at the front door. It's upstairs, so I think people are less likely to just grab stuff, but it's still pretty open and available.
Ugh. That's just terrible. >_<
You should try playing Resident Evil 5. That's what is keeping me busy today. Best to play with two players. Go solo and computer controlled Sheva wastes ammo.
Haha, I've got a HUGE stack of video games to play! RE5 isn't on it-- I haven't played ANY of the Resident Evil games --but maybe eventually. In the meantime I have to finish Tales of Monkey Island, Dragon Age, and Fallout 3...before Final Fantasy XIII comes out. ;)
I had a Borders run a week or two ago. I got Negima! Vol 24, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Vol 1, and Gunsmith Cats Vol. 1.
Resident Evil 5 is a lot of fun, but it's really best when played two player online. There is a heavy emphasis on team work. I like the RE series, because they make you be careful with ammo. It's harder in RE 5, because later you have guys with guns. They aren't mindless zombies and monsters anymore.
Other games I'm playing are Lego Batman(PS3), Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box(DS), and Ghostbusters(PS3).
You guys should play ping pong.....
@Geekachu: Don't worry you're too big to be the ball.... or are you?
Oh my god! My package came today! There was a mix-up at the post office and it got shipped across town. So that's why it said it had already been delivered when I checked the tracking number. I am just happy I can read Black Butler in peace.
Amen. The Geekachu spiraling out ot space was pretty priceless though.
@parasyteFMA: Glad to hear your packages is alright. Recently I got a huge recommendation for Parastye. Haven't started reading it, but Deb let me borrow the first 8(?) volumes on faith alone. I'd never heard of it before.
@Konanda: It's not abuse; he secretly wants it.
