sawylThe most trying of my relatives has now departed, leaving those of us who remain feeling like wrung out emotional rags. Still, at least it's over for another year.
I spent at least part of today helping my nephew play Modern Warfare II. This wasn't terribly taxing, since it involved little more than telling him to follow the on-screen mission prompts, which he seemed otherwise determined to ignore. What really startled me was quite how boring the game was. Sure, it looked pretty, but all the missions seemed very linear and it felt like you were being led by the nose through what you had to do. Fine, perhaps, for 8 year-olds, but not so much for those of us who've made it to double digits...
