One of my gaming weaknesses is when they combine multiple games into one mega-game. E.g.: UberChrononauts, the entire Knizia Lord of the Rings set, and when you arrange four separate Monopoly boards in a square. The "All Day Game" is like Valhalla to me.

Mario Kart Wii in stores the day before GTAIV.

I hate when they do that.

It's More Than A Feeling

Got back into Rock Band purchasing this week with More Than A Feeling, Truckin', and that $1 song from Paramore. More Than A Feeling was one of my absolute favorites back in the first Guitar Hero; it feels great to play it again. I wonder how close the fret tracks are between the two versions?

DC only owns half of Superman.

And the heirs of Jerry Siegel own the other half, thanks to a recent copyright court decision. This is a crazily interesting case... CBR has a fantastic summary of how this is all playing out.

Odds are, DC/Warner will settle this with a big fat check to the Siegels... and probably eventually another one for the estate of Joe Shuster. And yeah, that money is long overdue.

My son the history buff.

Interesting and unexpected; Clark happened across a young readers' National Geographic book about King Tut and has spent the entire weekend talking and asking about it. Something about the iconic death mask on the cover just grabbed him.

So we bought him some additional books about the Boy King and watched a couple YouTube movies on the topic. At this age, it's a fad a week, but even just a few days of genuine interest in the story of King Tut is fairly mind-blowing. Who knows if he'll retain any of this by the time April rolls around, but right now he can tell you all about Tutankhamun being wrapped like a mummy, buried in layers of boxes, had a broken leg, and is now in a glass case to keep him safe.

There's nothing quite like your three-year-old looking directly at you with confusion and concern in his eyes, asking "Him dead?"
