Sorry about that, SK!

Tell your brother to buy you a Wii for Easter. Then you can still battle him online. Then you can battle me online! I'll fight you. Better wear a chips guard.

I'm going to buy my younger brother a PS3 for his birthday. Then, when he is travelling for work, he can hook it up at his hotel and play against me. I'll buy you one for Easter. Then you can help me on my gory Easter Egg Hunt in Resident Evil 5 (which has online cooperative play). Skippy has a PS3, too. We could have tournaments. Or I could just buy a Wii.

I just downloaded a new game from the PlayStation Network called Burn Zombie Burn. Hordes of zombies attack as you run around looking for weapons like chainsaws, shotguns, and lawnmowers. You can light them on fire but they get really pissed and come after you with a vengeance. The goal of the game is to see how many zombies you can kill before they overwhelm you. And they will overwhelm you. There's no possible way to kill them all. Even with TNT.

SK, buying me a PS3 so that I can assist you in gory Easter Egg hunting would be a complete waste of money. I stink at egg hunting. I was the kid who ended up with three eggs in her basket while everyone else had a dozen or more. I just wasn't aggressive enough. Thank goodness my girls didn't inherit my deficiency. They get more eggs than their baskets can hold and start stuffing them in their pockets, underwear, socks--whatever will secure them.

I bet Skippy's a talented egg finder. She just looks like one, doesn't she?

I'm better at chess than I am egg hunting, and that's saying very little. ;)

If you ever want to play chess online, let me know. I gots ways.

Also, I'm sort of scared of fire. I'd have to go after the zombies with something not very hot, like one of those barely smoldering punks used to light fireworks. I hold even those with trepidation!

I bought a PS3.

I bought Street Fighter IV.

It is sweet awesomeness.

Awesome, Gaz. Are you online? My PSN ID is silencekit. If you want to do some online fighting, let me know.

My friend and I picked up Resident Evil for Xbox 360. Good stuff.

The split-screen is kind of weird (it doesn't utilize the whole screen, instead it has two small rectangles that are slightly off-set from one-another).

Definitely not enough ammo, but I just read today that there's a way to get unlimited ammo, so I imagine we’ll give that a try next time we play it.

Overall, I give it a solid B.

Have you gotten to the Matrix guy yet? That dude is lame. I want to punch his sunglasses.

Are you talking about the guy who talks like a 1920's gangsta caricature crossed with an over the top cartoonish New York accent?

I think he was more annoying as the guy who said "F*ck-o" in Army of Two... and I never thought that was possible.

I wanted to give him a prostate exam.

:lol:

Not that guy, though I hated him too. I think he eventually turns into a giant sea monster or something. The matrix dude is towards the end of the game. He dodges bullets and stuff. I'm stuck fighting him on what I believe is the last level.
