Louisville Trip II - Entertainment

Part II of my Louisville trip looks at what Bub and I did for fun.

Bub and I are avid Xbox gamers. Unfortunately, his Xbox was on the fritz... fortunately, mine wasn't. :)

The Games
One of the things we did a lot of this weekend (aside from enjoying each other's company) was blow the ever-living crap out of some bad guys! The favorite game of the weekend was Star Wars: Battlefront. It's a pretty cool game. It lets you be a part of most of the "historic" battles of all of the Star Wars movies, and you can choose which side to be, good or bad. The main objective is to either control all the "command posts" on the map, or totally eliminate every last soldier the opponent has. The other games didn't get much play time. He let me borrow a few games, though that I'm looking forward to playing...

* X-Men Legends
* Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance
* Metal Arms: Glitch in the System
* Midway Arcade Treasuers - this one has a bunch of "old school" games on it.

The Movies
We watched a couple of movies while I was there, as well.

* Howl's Walking Castle - Anime. Have you ever fallen asleep during a movie and woken up about 5 minutes later, but been so lost that it was tough to understand what was going on in the movie? Yeah, this movie is kind of like that - except you don't fall asleep.
* A History of Violence - this one stars that guy from Lord of the Rings (Viggo... something). It was a "good" movie. Very dark. This may be a "watch only once or twice" kind of movie. Maybe I need to see it again to appreciate it.

Stay tuned for more...
