Dungeons and Dragons Online Bonus Weekend

I've been playing DDO for about a year and this past weekend they had a "bonus XP & +1 loot welcome back weekend" . Half the severs (and of course the one I play on) ended up being down for a nice chunk of the weekend so they extended the bonus weekend until midnight tonight.

Still - would have been really nice to get some game time in this past weekend instead of trying to pack it in at night at still make it to work the next morning.

Halo 3

Never been much of a Halo fan but have to admit I'm looking forward to Halo 3. From what I've seen the graphics are sweet and the gameplay is supposed to be top notch.


Look for Halo 3 to hit the shelves in the US on 9/25/2007.

Game on gamers.

Physical video games boost kids' activity levels

The results - showing that children burn more energy while playing activity-required video games than traditional, sedentary ones - may seem "pretty obvious," conceded Lanningham-Foster. "

I'm surprised people are even bothering with this type of studies anymore. Physical activity boosts activity levels - who would have thought? Sheesh.
