Fly like the wind

Last week I was finally able to complete The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. A fantastic game, and I can tell that the changes that were made to the Wii U version were all for the better in terms of cutting out the unnecessary fat. The game has catapulted itself into my top ten all time list, which I suppose looks like this nowadays...

1. Super Mario Bros
2. The Elder Scrolls Series (IV and V)
3. Portal Series (1 and 2)
4. Final Fantasy VII
5. Grand Theft Auto 3
6. Bioshock
7. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
8. Half Life 2
9. Metal Gear Solid
10. Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

I'm going to have to refine it a bit, but this is what I'll go with for today.

Vacation 3DS love

Last week during my kid's spring break we were fortunate enough to take a vacation to Florida.  During our time on the plane and downtime at the crib there, I spent more time with my 3DS than I have in quite a while.  Got back on track with Sticker Star again and enjoyed a lot of multiplayer with my kids and brother.  Notably, we spent most of our time with Four Swords and Mario Kart 7, and I was reminded how fun these titles are.  Had a blast and when I returned to the frozen north I did something I haven't done in years, pre-ordered.  Paid for Mario Golf and Mario Kart 8, two titles I'm 100% sure we'll be happy with.  Now I just have to wait a month for them...
