found a happy place for my birds next to mario since he likes to hang out in the clouds. this is one of my first acrylic paintings and i have a lot to learn. i will probably update this pic when i get a chance to photograph it outdoors since the colors are off. thought i would post the flash sketch i wanted to paint. maybe with experience i can try to pull of the sketch look i wanted to go with.

a few long weekends with a few new games

Tuesday, January 2nd, 2007 at about 10:46 pm

i haven’t really updated my blog with games that i have been playing so here i go! i will start of with Elite Beat Agents for the DS. its a dancing rhythm game so of course i would be addicted to it! the Elite Beat Agents, dressed in black suits, work for an old military general and travel around the world solving people’s problems. the story lines are funny and the art presentation for the manga-style sequence is impressive. i helped an athlete with a fever get well to win his race the next day. finished the game in about 70 minutes on easy, then moved on two level two, and finally working on level 3. there are only 19 songs so i hope they release number 2 soon!

next is the Wii, no introduction needed:)

rayman raving rabbids is filled with engaging mini games! unlike super monkeyball, waste of money, rayman’s minigames work perfectly with the controller!

Wii Sports is great! not a big fan of the boxing but i am doing great in bowling. rick seems to still kick my ass in tennis.

and most addicting game right now, Viva Pinata!

starting with a small piece of land you have to make it adaptable before you can attract pinatas. it was exciting to see new pinatas arrive! i was a bit disappointed in the mini games. to make a baby pinata you need to romance two pinatas and then complete a mini game. the pinatas dance, wink wink ;) and then storkos bring you a baby pinata! i think they should have been rhythm games since the pinatas dance, just makes more sense to me. ok, and the fact that i love rhythm games.

dancing??? hmmmmm
