Anyway, the reason I'm here to post is mostly to say how absolutely excited I am that not one, but two Monkey Island games are being released this summer. I've heard the rumors of the SMI remake floating around, but hadn't heard about the other one. Apparently they've been showing it all off at G3. They've redone the animation for Secret of Monkey Island. I guess they want to introduce it to a new generation of gamers. I'm kind of torn about this. I feel a special level of nerd seniority being able to Insult Swordfight against people who have no idea that obviously the response to "You fight like a dairy farmer" is "How appropriate, you fight like a cow." On the other hand, more people need to enjoy the awesome that is Monkey Island.
Also means that there is money to spend this summer on games.
Speaking on my very mature law student behavior, I finished bok #21. I've kind of fallen off the wagon on this reading thing. I think it's because of all the traveling back and forth across California and the lack of a steady gym schedule.
Book #21
V for Vendetta by Alan MooreMy review
rating: 5 of 5 stars
View all my reviews.
It was super good. I've been on a graphic novel thing ever since reading Watchmen. And on an Alan Moore kick because he's kind of awesome. I really enjoyed V for Vendetta. It was pretty different from the movie (which I really want to watch again now), but I don't think it was different in a bad way. I don't know. Because I liked both of those so much, I may have to give League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and From Hell another chance.
But maybe not yet. I read Omnivore's Dilemma next. A bunch of us are starting a book club and that's our first book. I was actually holding off on reading that one for the book club.
That's it. Will post a longer thing later.
