In more categories than one. That's what happens when you stay in a country where games and entertainment are made much more available and accessible with the 'cheap option'. :) So there's no longer the need to be wary about what games to buy, nor wait for bargain prices months to years later long after a game's been released.
Now, it's just a question of, "What shall we do for tonight?" This is, of course, when we're not out with the Chief or with friends.
Let's see. First, PC or make use of telly. If the parents are watching Astro then we'll start with the PC. And with the PC we're not just limited to games for entertainment. A runthrough?
Internet: emails, bloghopping, Facebook for Scrabulous, random surfing...well, everyone has something to do online.
Games: We have that original Heroes Of Might And Magic V: Tribes Of The East expansion we bought from Bangkok for cheap, or we could always do a quick skirmish with the AI in either Starcraft, Warcraft III, Command & Conquer 3 or Red Alert 2. Hmmm, should we feel nostalgic we can always scrounge up the Prince of Persia games, or Flashback, even good ol' Dune 2. Which reminds us that we could always attempt to play Emperor: Battle For Dune again.
iTunes: There's still plenty of cover art to find and/or lyrics to add in, playlists to update, ratings and genres to fill in. And we've recently found a DVD to MPEG4 converter, so we can now start transferring movies to the iTouch!
Right. Is the telly still in use? Damn. OK, we'll have a few rounds of Tetris DS over WiFi. No one to challenge online? Then maybe one or two stages of New Super Mario Bros. Or spend endless hours over Big Brain Academy or Ouendan (we had to give up playing Nintendogs and Animal Crossing, these are the most powerful life-leechers).
Or finish up a book instead.
Even with the Wii we can be spoilt for choice...hmmm we played Resident Evil 4 just the other day, suffered minor nausea so we'll keep it aside for now...No More Heroes we've gone up a rank and will need to spend time doing side-quests to earn cash, so probably another day...Super Mario Galaxy, all right, we'll play a bit on this...maybe one stage for Super Paper Mario as well...Guilty Gear Accent Core isn't that appealing because we aren't keen to learn new game mechanics...the Prince Of Persia: Rival Swords disc is a bit wonky...there's still stages in Wario Ware: Smooth Moves as well as Rayman Raving Rabbids to unlock...The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess we're keeping until after we're done with the Mario games...Oh oh oh and Super Smash Bros Brawl is out!
And when lad and Esteban finally got their Wiis last Saturday and Esteban wanted to borrow some of our games, we told him no, we were playing all of them. :P
Who says our juggling was just limited to books?
