Anthony came over today. We watched Hayao Miyazaki's [Studio Ghibli] Nausicaä of the Valley of Wind. Patrick Steward and Uma Thurman do voices on it. It was pretty cool. I liked it better then Princess Mononoke. (Mononoke sucks imo.) Then we played video games for the rest of the night.

Gary bought me Dead Rising on Wed. I played for a bit on Wed. night and I saved it. It said that I am at lvl 2. I'm suppose to kill a guy named Carlito... but I died. Now when I start the game it says my level, but it makes me start over. I don't get it. Ant and I couldn't figure it out. It's a cool game I just don't know how to start from where I left off. Cool part was getting an achievement for falling over 5 meters high. lol



I've always loved legos from when I was little. I have to admit that I still purchase legos every now and then. I just cannot help it. I'd also admit that I am a Star Wars geek. Posters, figures, games, TV guides, movies from Beta to DVD, even Lego Technic Star Wars... Yup I have them... Anyway, my sis and I got Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. Yes the one and only trilogy you should really watch.. (but Natalie Portman is so yummy. ><;)

The game follows the original storyline from episodes IV-VI with a Lego twist. There will be times where you will have to build a bridge with Legos so that your party can cross an area. C-3PO can't do anything but open doors. It's especially important to go out of your way for him because he can't even jump. Levels are very large and filled with lots of goodies to break. I am a bit fanatic, picking up as many bits as possible. (Must buy Ben Kenobi's Ghost!) These bits are your currency and can be used to buy extra characters and extra stuff. I've already purchased an Ewok, Boba Fett, and unlocked many others. Some extra stuff include a disguise (which adds a mustache to everyone) or C-3PO on Chewy's back.

My sister thinks it's incredibly cute. I think it's genious. Pretty, hilarious, and fun. The only set back is the awkward camera angles. Sometimes I walk into a small room with bits but I cannot see the bits. It's ok though, it doesn't bother me too much. I just run around in circles until I am done collecting. I'm about 10 % done in this game. It takes awhile to go through each stage. Try it out. Download the CPU demo here.
