Up and inFamous

Well so far so good for the Gamefly account. I had inFamous up at the top of my queue, but it was telling me it had low availability, (probably on account of it being new), so I wasn't expecting to get that one for a while. I don't know if it was because I was a brand new account, but the next day inFamous was on its way to me, and only took one day in the mail. If the service level stays like this, I'll stick with using them for my game rentals for sure. Still enjoying inFamous, apart from a couple of frustrating missions, the game is extremely fun. They do tend to throw a lot of bad guys at you all at once, but you are pretty ridiculously over-powered, so there's usually a way to win.
I also finished The Lost & Damned downloadable content for GTA:4, speaking of throwing a lot of enemies at you. I didn't realize that I was literally one mission away from completing it when I stopped a while back. So I logged on and plowed through the final mission and that was it. Pretty good stuff, I'm looking forward to the next batch of DLC for the game.
Last weekend we went and saw Pixar's Up in theaters, and once again, it didn't disappoint. Jenny and I were trying to determine what it is about their movies that makes us love them so much, and honestly, awesome technical and graphics prowess notwithstanding, it's really the heart the movies have that engages you. There have been parts in several of Pixar's releases that genuinely affect us emotionally, and I think when a movie can do that, when it can make you have an emotional reaction, it has you. We also saw it in Disney Digial 3D, and while Jenny wasn't a huge fan, I thought the technology and perceived depth was pretty cool. Especially if you have kids, I would take them to see the 3D showing, although be warned that it's more expensive.
Anyway, that's my post for today, tons of other stuff going on that I don't have time to write about right now!
