Monday, October 20, 2008   "Dude, he's right behind you."  Much
of this past weekend was lost playing "Dead Space." And by
"playing" I of course mean sitting on the couch next to The
Husband while he plays because I suck at video games and usually
end up spending a good 15 minutes walking my character into a
wall while monsters rip his legs off. So mostly I helped this
weekend by shouting things like, "Shoot it! Shoot it!"  "Dead
Space" involves a dude in a cool looking space suit searching
through a space station that was the site of lots and lots of
carnage. A few humans survived but for the most part, the area
is filled with murderous monsters that are either the result of
genetic experiments or alien involvement. It's the dude's job to
find out what happened and also see if he can find his it's kind
of like Super Mario except the princess might have been turned
into a space zombie and Yoshi was likely eaten by a critter with
really long arms and six-foot long claws for hands. Also, no
magic mushrooms...ye
