A gift we bought for my youngest daughter, has become one of the social focal points in my home (and those I’ve travelled to who own a ps2) since Christmas morning. As much as I have enjoyed playing mmorpg’s on my pc, there is something completely different in the gameplay with physically interactive games likeContinue reading “Dance Dance Revolution”

Yet another reason to have done my PhD in Copenhagen, we need more courses like this around here!

Finally back from being on holiday, a nice visit with my family always rejuvenates me. But now it is time to start another year, make a new to-do list for the next 4 months and work towards crossing things off. Finish my thesis, finish phd applications, and blog more are the top three things thatContinue reading “Welcome, Another Year”

But I could not help myself. The book has been sitting on my shelf for over 6 months (i cannot believe thatContinue reading “New Reading”

If anyone has balked at the price of the next gen console games, and all the add ons that come with it – you might want to think about starting a small savings fund for other, unforseen expenses that come with your new console. Check out this site for potential Wii hazaards.

As Christmas approaches, I am faced with the seasonal crowds shoving their way into the already small local EBGames store. I am also challenged with what games to get for who this year (usually this is a neverending list!). I have not made it into the lucky Wii club, and shiver at the price ofContinue reading “Holiday Game Giving”
