My guitar instructor canceled on me and I suddenly realized that I had a chance to jump into Resident Evil 5. I think that when I came to this realization I actually giggled... like a school girl. Anyway, RE5 is a great game. I've played every game in the series since it's inception and I have always loved them. I'm one of those wienies that get lost in the story. I don't know why but there is a deep rooted part of me that gets so engrossed that time outside of the game has no meaning. Reality fades as I slowly slide into the game, into a different world... and for just a brief amount of time I actually forget that I am a Systems Administrator for a group of mutants that may just represent the highest concentration of social awkwardness ever herded into one building.
So I get home and race to the TV, filled with a mix of pure excitement and a little guilt about duping an kid free hour for myself. Luckily, the excitement part of the brain is really loud so I was good to go... and then I remembered that Xbox Live would be down all day today. I cried.
Well, the kids are home and I have a ton of laundry to do. Maybe if I'm lucky I can get them to sleep before Joy gets off work... I call it 'magic hour'!
