BayonettaI try to get a couple hours a day in, it's a little harder now that work has picked up. I'm currently playing Uncharted 2. I'm really enjoying it, although I'm spending more time in the online mode. I also just finished Batman: Arkham Asylum, real...
Japanese SpidersThe last time I was in Japan, I went to Enoshima. These spiders had built webs from one tree to the next over the walk ways. It felt like they were just waiting to drop the web down on their next victim. I'm not a big fan of spiders, so it was a l...

Media CoverageI have been playing FFXI since it came out in the U.S. I've really enjoyed both the graphics and the battle system in it. FFXII was really a single player version of FFXI. So, if you played that, you should have a good idea of how FFXI works. It...
