On Wednesday, Jef and Karii came over to play some Soul Caliber II. Jef bought the Xbox version and Karii the PS2 one. We played for a couple hours that night and had a good time. So, Rand had a half day on Friday and he picked up the GameCube one (the system that we co-bought together). On Friday night alone, we played for seven hours and twenty minutes! Oy! Needless to say, it's cool and addictive. Saturday, we hung out around the apartment and played yet more Soul Caliber II. Sunday, we changed scenery and went over to Rand's house and he broke in his new grill with some steaks. Earlier in the day we drove all over trying to find the Component Video Cable to hook up the system to his new HDTV (and thereby take advantage of the game's hi-res mode)
The Component Video Cable supports component signal input with specially designed games, for the latest video technology including 480p progressive scan on high definition televisions.
Utterly, no luck whatsoever. Sheesh. Best we found was one place had the Xbox one, not that it does us any good. Apparently, we must be the only people to have an interest in getting this cable as a search through both EB's site and GameStop (Babbages) site didn't find any. *sigh* Looks like it's only available from Nintendo directly. How odd.
Beyond that...not very much. Started to feel pretty damned sick this afternoon and it didn't really get better. In fact, I could barely touch my yummy dinner (steak, baked potato, corn on the cob, fruit salad and some cookie dough pie I didn't even manage to take a taste of for desert). Bah. Just got a headache and all queasy and did not feel good at all.
Now I've been at the pc for like an hour and a half (since we got home basically) and I think I'm going to meander towards the couch. The pc's starting to aggravate my head and I really have nothing else to babble about anyway. ;)
