Part of my extended blogging break involved playing some new video games – and an old one. First up is Portal 2, which I bought Jenn for her birthday. We started with the cooperative mode, wherein you play two Wall-E like robots in an abandoned, post-apocalyptic research facility. Using “portal guns” to open doorways in [...]

I rang in the holiday season with two new video games. I’ll start with NHL 11, the latest installment in EA Sports’ classic line of hockey simulations. This series goes back to 1994 with me, when I first played the Sega Genesis edition, and I’ve basically been a junkie to it ever since. It’s come [...]

Or wait, maybe I meant mutually exclusive…anyway, a general update: Yesterday Jenn and I hit the Staples Center for our second-to-last home hockey game of the season, and the Kings kept their slim playoff hopes alive with a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild. The team seems [...]

Jenn and I just got back from a hockey date at the Staples Center. I was hoping to get to post the “Kings Win!” picture we took last time, but no such luck. The Kings went down fighting, a 3-2 shootout loss to the Edmonton Oilers. However, we did get to witness a rarity — [...]
