This, probably. And watching it being played by the wife person.

I may also play Marvel: Ultimate Alliance.

Oh, and I think I might buy Weird Worlds for my Mac.

I would like to propose that you explore the world of alternative
controllers. If your fingers still work even though your wrists are in
pain, then what we need is a stationary controller that supports itself.
If you're not tasked with holding it up, then you can concentrate on the
stick and buttons and better arrange your arms to relieve those stresses.
An X-Arcade stick bolted to a wooden desk might be an ideal solution that
works with multiple consoles to boot.

Don't let gaming kick your ass. That whole world should easily conform to
your needs, and not the other way around.

Zelda: TP (Wii)
I've actually, finally got round to playing a few hours of this now, and it
is good. I'm finding that I'm loving it *despite* the pointy-shaky control
mechanism, rather than it adding anything to the game. It's not as big a
deal to me as others have apparently found it (judging by the arguments in
UGVN), but it's not great, is it?
Hopefully I'll manage another hour or two over the weekend.

Rainbow Six: Vegas (360)
I'm not going to the pub tonight, so hopefully when I play this I'll
actually manage to shoot someone, rather than just dropping grenades and
swearing at people.

Rockstar Table Tennis (360)
Not played it all week, but keen to get back to it. I *will* finish the hard
tournament this weekend. FACT.

Viva Pinata (360)
In a strictly rationed time slot, otherwise I will spend the whole weekend
playing it, and nothing else.

Maybe also Wario Ware (Wii) - is it worth buying? I enjoyed the GBA original
hugely, but tired quickly of the DS version. Would I be better of with
Raving Rabbids for my minigame fun?

I might get myself some more MS points just so I can DOMINATE you on the
leaderboards. Again.

until Tuesday, no doubt.

Both of those two. Mine rang me up earlier extremely pissed off that
Professer thingummy had come into her garden and done for her
Chewnicorn. She was more pissed off when I mentioned about the cutlass
and that I should have told her earlier. OOPS.

Apart from that I will do a few RR6 races and a few holes on TW07

Nothign on Saturday as it's my birthday party - did you all get your

Dunno about Sunday.

Have you established yet whether you need to rack up 50 hours in a
single garden? How many days are you on?

> ...because from Monday, I'm giving up gaming.

Sorry to hear about your condition. I'm sure it won't stop you gaming
forever though, let us know how it progresses. Perhaps it'll ease off
if you stop holding your controller like this:

It isn't the playing that's caused it. It isn't RSI or carpel tunnel, it's
just sprainage. Some time off everything that needs my wrists will be good.

Just done it. It's 250 game-days in total, and doesn't include time in shops
or paused.

Cool stuff. Is there a way to turn off the party invites that seem to
auto-pause the game so it can be left on in the background for a day?

No. And that's cheating.

Nah, I think I sprained them both carrying stuff round earlier in the week.
