musings

So 2008 has turned out to be, in at least one way, an amazing year – n+ for Nintendo DS is one of IGN’s top 10 DS games of the year, and n+ for Sony PSP is nominated at Gamespot for best PSP game of 2008. And both of them are up for four other Gamespot awards – best platform game, best co-op multiplayer, best downloadable content, and best implementation of user-generated content. IGN gave both SKUs the Game of the Month award for August, and I was thrilled, but August was a slow month for games, so it was easy to stand out. Getting nods amidst games like Mirror’s Edge, Prince of Persia, Little Big Planet, Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core and God of War: Chains of Olympus is a tremendous honour.

I just bought a 13″ aluminum MacBook. It arrived today, and it’s small, shiny and dead sexy. I’m just geeky enough to have documented the unboxing and posted the photos on my flickr page, but you can see them more easily at the Photos page. Waiting for the first charge to finish is pure agony.
