I played all of inFamous: First Light in one day. It was positively delightful and certainly my favorite inFamous experience so far. It was short enough to avoid the trap of all of the other games in the series that I’ve played (haven’t played more than about 2 hours of Second Son): they just get so repetitive towards the end. It also inspired me to go back to play through the rest of Second Son. Great... I absolutely need to add another game to my already gigantic list of games to play. It’s a rough life, I guess...
Speaking of which (see what I did there? eh? eh?), during the Great Arkansas Blizzard of ’15... which should be read as “1/2 inch of snow that ended up freezing over a bit but then ended up melting before noonish.” That may be a bit of a mouthful though, so just call it what you will. Nonetheless, I spent the afternoon splitting wood in my front yard. While I feel infinitely more manly than I did at this time yesterday, my hands are not quite used to that kind of adventure. They don’t hurt, they just pretty much fail in the manual dexterity department. Eating dinner ended up with me looking positively ridiculous whilst attempting to navigate my plate and fork. I’m sure that it was tremendously humorous to observe.
