One word creepy! Good creepy, I watch my husband play this game, I might try to play it not sure haven’t decided yet, but it looks like a game I would enjoy it’s action based, which is a plus in my book.
Lets see your character is x-military, but we are not sure what he is know, is he a cop, doctor or detective of some sort who knows. He seems to be following a little boy and runs into undead people he has to fight of. It seems the entire hospital staff is now undead and that is where the game begin. There is some radio communication going on, which makes it even more creepy because who is speaking to him sounds unnerving. The sounds quality is pretty good and the graphics are great, the people look like people and the dead well you can tell they are dead. The man is on a gurney at the start with what appears to be a pipe on his chest but for some reason it does not become a weapon. I can’t wait till hubby and I can get a lcd monitor type TV because I think it would make playing some of these games more fun.
Eventually your guy gets a piece of glass to fight of undead but they don’t start coming until after you have something to defend yourself. This game I would not recommend for a young viewer, it simply creepy enough and the people who are zombies look to human like. I the rating on this game is good, Mature + 17… Hubby tries not to play this game before we go to be because he worries it might cause me nightmares, LOL I think he worried about himself having nightmares and trying to project it on me.

Eternal Sonata is based on Chopins life, there are a couple of main characters. All of the character have musical names, either style or music expression. The game is the same as it is on the XBox 360 pretty much, but it is fun and the graphics are great. The battle scenes are similar they are action with turn based mixed in. I like this style of game.
I would say this game is a good game that is for teen and I think that’s a good age but I believe it might be okay for a preteen to play it to, there is no real graphic things in it. The magic user in this game are ill or something and it’s chopins dream or something.
The shops are great and they have some discount furniture and you can create different things at the shops unless I am mixing this game up with another game.
The graphics are better on the PS3, and the sounds is better to. I think the PS3 overall has better quality then the Xbox, sorry but it just my opinion. The gaming is about the same but I think the PS3 controllers takes a little longer to get used to then the Xbox I don’t know why but it was for me. In the PS3 you can earn trophies so they are starting to catch up to the Xbox as far as gamer points.

Let me start by saying normally games like this I enjoy, but not this one as much. The warrior is probably the easiest character to be and their battles for novice are ridiculously hard. When you die over and over that not my idea of fun, and frankly in the beginning of a quest it should not be that hard.
The graphics are great, although I don’t think they did very good with the recreation of some of the heroes. The graphics are a POS with the game. I think the sound voice to music is okay but the voice in the background is annoying. Maybe it be more fun to play it with out any words but then how do you know what is expected or needed. They have little yellow arrows leading your character to where you need to go. The first 10 to 20 minutes of the game isn’t to bad but it’s once you get to the 3rd part of the Mages quest where you have to destroy the fire machine but yet you have more enemies then you have people helping your character, so it’s next to impossible to destroy it.
Your first hero is either going to have to be a archer or a swords man, I prefer sword man for this quest. The next quest is mage, archer or warrior. Mage is good but I am wondering if warrior would be easier in the 3rd part of the quest.
I did the training for this and the training is very frustrating, I decided I would do some game playing and see what I think. The game is better then the training part because the graphics are cool and you get some story about the Lord of the Rings with it.
I am not sure if I would recommend this game, to me it wasn’t fun because it not like you get to accomplish much over time. I think the biggest problem with the game was it was hard to tell when you needed to LB which is LB or RB because it was not very clear on the screen.

Last week we got a steam cleaner for dad’s bedroom and the living room. The reason why is to try to keep up with the dog going potty inside and plus it just will help keep the house smelling nice and fresh. We were at Target and it was on sale, so we got it for 82.00 after taxes, it came with some cleaner stuff.
The hardest thing was finding where they had place the screws on the steam cleaner. That took a while they where on the handle.
Lets see what I don’t like is it seems that the dirty water container likes to splash some of the dirty water onto the rug. I have to keep a eye on it so it doesn’t splash over so it’s good not to feel the water container to full. There is no digital signage on it but it’s easy to assemble and I am very happy with it.
It cleaned out dad’s room nicely and removed some stains out of the rug from kitty puke which been there since we moved in. It did remove the cig smell in the room to which has always been there since day one, I hope when I do the hubby and my bed room that it will work as good. I have noticed it picks up a lot of stuff the vacuum cleaner lift on the ground. I was surprised.

Tonight hubby and I decided to stop at Target to pick up dads meds. Ops we were to late oh well. I remember I needed a comb because I can’t find any at home and the one I know where it at is in my van. So I picked that up some hair shampoo, cat food and dog supplies.
Tonight was the first time in Target after being in there for only 5 minutes that someone asked me if I needed help, I must look very needy tonight or something. I have never had so many people asking me if I needed help. I said no thank you.
Tonight I went over to the dog area and decided to look at another option other then paper towels for picking up doggy waste. I am about to shoot the dog she using the house as her pooping place. I take her out and she turns around an hour later and poops in the house. It been frustrating because even though I put paper down for her to go on in her favorite spots, she moves the papers and then goes poop so it’s on the rug. Well I have some vacation time coming up in March and April so I am going to really work with her about not going potty inside of house. She will learn she is a smart dog, I also need to find something to occupy her when we are gone because she likes being with us. I have seen a couple of cool things at Target so I think I might use that.
Target usually has good selections and I am always able to find what I need.

Recently I decided I would try a wet food for my cat, since he been upset with me that the dog is getting wet food but not him. Otis has a sensitive system, it took me forever to find him dry good that would work for him. A few weeks ago I was looking at some wet food and found something from Whiskas which was all natural so I decided to give it a try and it worked.
I will have to say I am amazed at the quality that seems to be there. I am not used to seeing animal food looking almost as good as some stews I have made or eaten. The meat is nice and tender and smells almost good. I wonder what kind of food Anaheim California hotel and if it’s as appetizing as this cat food is here. I am temped to try it. Don’t worry I will not.
Tonight I gave Otis the Chicken Beef Entree, Otis loved it and ate it pretty quickly. The meat has both while chicken meat and some beef meat, you can tell the difference. They are nice little chunks of meat and it’s in gravy.
What I do not like about it is that if this was the only food Otis would eat, he’d need 4 pouches a day at least, good thing I am just using it as a treat to distract him long enough for doggy to finish her food. One package a day and then as much dry food he wants through out the day will work nicely.the Purrefectly Chicken by Whiskas has a nice smell and looks good. Otis thinks it taste good because he eats it pretty quickly. This is prepared in natural juices which is good and probably healthier for Otis.

Tonight I decided it was time to get a new pair of Shoes. I have a favorite brand and well my last couple of pairs from Skechers are at least 5 years old. Yep they seem to work and last a long time for me. They have the most comfortable shoes I have ever found, my older sister introduced me to them. Within the last couple of years they have opened one in the Mall of America. I love sketchers, they feel good and they are steady. Tonight I wanted a pair of shoes easy to slip on and off but one I could dance, and run in if needed. I needed them to slip on and off because of working with kids.
Right when we walked in I was asked what I was looking for by a young man. I told him I work with kids and I need a pair of Shoes I can slip on and off quickly. In the afternoon I always have to get my shoes tied and well that hard when you suddenly have to run after a kids who goes back into the gym area.
He directed me to a couple pairs of shoes, I liked what he showed me really wanted black they only had a 8 in it no 8 1/2 shoes in it. I tried the 8 on because sometimes a 8 works but normally not in skeckers, they didn’t feel good. I tried the white one on but I felt those would get dirty so quickly it would frustrate me. While he was looking for a 8 1/2 I started looking around. I found a great pair which where similar except they will be great in the Winter but no so great in the Summer. They will be overly hot but I can deal with that later, with another paycheck. I spent close to 60 on a good pair of shoes. Well now if I want to work out with Jillian Michaels workouts I have some good shoes for it. I picked black Skeechers s sports, they feel get to walk in. My last pair I have had for about 5 years so it was time to get a new pair of shoes. These last the longest hopefully I will still be happy with them in 6 months to a year.
Customer service was good, but I would have maybe preferred to look around a little while on my own, but tonight I was more in the mood of find what I need and get out. I hate shopping so I tend to want to find what I want and get it.

I will say my husband and I have two different taste in comedies. This one I didn’t like much, good thing I was doing my homework while watching it. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t my type of movie.
At first it seems more of a insult on conservative people, but in the end it more toward the liberal sect of the United States.
What I dislike is they didn’t use anyone from middle eastern descent which they should of, and they where kind of insulting toward them. Plus I didn’t like the fact that it seemed they where just picking on them during the whole movie. Okay yes we have been terrorized but that doesn’t mean every single muslim is a terrorist. Yes I agree we have forgot about 9/11 and I believe our President has forgotten about it and doesn’t understand what has happened there, or at least he doesn’t act like it. 9/11 is something many Americans have forgotten about, and we aren’t as safe as we think we are, that something we learned than, well maybe some of us learned it. Personally I wouldn’t want to talk to terrorist with out some type of agreement being made before hand. But that me…. I guess this movie is trying to show that.
One of my more favorite parts was when they had the angel of death come to Micheal in his dreams, kind of the christmas carol spin on it.
I personally wouldn’t have choice this movie for watching but my husband likes movie like this. There where no strikes in it which is good and that earns some points in my book. This movie does a good job at making fun of liberals who think we are all safe, I will give them points for that. I do not think this movie shines any light on anything of use to be honest maybe they should have gotten more discount lighting.

I normally pick Holiday gas stations, I don’t often go to this gas station on University but it’s close to work. I can’t think of the street name, that intersecting. Today I needed to fill up the gas tank for my hubby. Well I chose to do that for him, to make it easier on him on the way home. What I do not understand is why in the daylight at the front pump it must be prepaid or give up your license or car keys. Fine I can give the car keys, not like they can drive off and if they did I can get my insurance online easily and report it as stolen.
I explained to the cashier that I never fill my hubby tank and wasn’t sure how much would be needed. I think they had the deer in the headlight look. Now my van I would have a fairly good guess what I need. Probably about 20$ for where it’s at. I keep thinking hubby can tank is small, I just spent what I would with my van. We are waiting to find out whose van is cheaper to fix.
