it's a red glowy thing, everyone knows red glowy things are bad!

Games for Gold freebie game on Xbox is Behemoth's Battleblock Theater. I've played Castle Crashers so I was familiar with the company but I hadn't tried this one before and who can say no to free? IT IS SO MUCH FUN! Platformer with a bit of puzzle solving, but mostly jumping around and collecting little gems. Lots of replay value. And the co-op mode adds a whole new level of gameplay because you have to help each other out by tossing and catching the other player. Clever level design too. Anyone else playing?

I need to pick a new game to start. I tried to do ACIV but I think I need something different since I only just finished ACII last month. Plus, I was just miserable at the stealth stuff LOL. Might try Fable Anniversary since Tim bought that awhile ago. Or maybe try to finish up LEGO Lord of the Rings, which I was making lots of progress on. Yes yes, my life is so complicated. :)

It's Sunday, give me a break!

hiccup the useless and his dragon toothless

Started listening to How to Train Your Dragon this week. FANGIRL ALERT: IT IS NARRATED BY DAVID TENNANT! He reads it with his lovely Scottish accent. You can probably get it for free through your public library (that's how I got it, through Overdrive.)

But, it's weird because the story is VERY different from the movie. I know I shouldn't be surprised, I've read enough books and seen enough movies to know they changes things but I guess I wasn't thinking it would be THIS different. Right now, I might actually be leaning towards the movie as better...but we will see. It might just be the shock. Right now, Toothless is not a cute little dragon but sort of a brat? Hiccup is still a sweetheart but his relationship with Toothless is not the same.

Maybe when I finish the book I'll rent the movie again. I haven't seen it in awhile but I'm pretty sure the dragons in the movie did not speak, yeah?

Also reading The Girl with All the Gifts. I didn't remember requesting this book but the cover has a blurb from Joss Whedon so I am assuming that is how it got on my radar. It's an adult book, I know, you're shocked. We will see if I can get through it before the 3 weeks are up.
