Labor Day weekend was a blast! I played more video games over the span of three days than I’ve played all year combined. Friday night E and I played Guitar Hero for hours and on Sunday both my brothers came to visit and I played drums on my brother’s copy of Rock Band and Guitar Hero for the Wii. I want to get a set of drums now but they are so expensive! I can’t find anything online under $100.
Sunday morning before the boys came over we went to Target and ended up buying a Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock bundle for the Xbox360 since it was on clearance for only $40 and still sells for $80 elsewhere for the Xbox as well as other platforms. The single reason I got it? To play Fascination Street by The Cure! I had completely forgotten when they announced the game that it contained a Cure song. There are a lot of negative reviews online about this iteration of GH and I’m surprised since I like that you can play all the songs via Quick Play without having to unlock them first. It’s too bad we don’t have an internet adapter for the Xbox, though, because you can download even more songs. I guess I’ll have to add that to my wish list and hope it actually works. The PS3 connects to our router fine but the Wii absolutely refuses to connect unless we open up our network which there’s no way I’m doing. We used to just connect to our neighbor’s unsecured network (naughty, I know, but it was only to do system updates) but then he grew a brain and password-protected it (as he should).
Earlier in the day on Sunday before we played video games we spent some time at a park once we found one where there was some available space; it was super crowded at our preferred place so we had to hunt for an alternative. We had a picnic and played frisbee together, then Brother # 1 and I watched while Joe and Brother # 2 played catch with a football. We also came across this huge creepy moth.
Brother # 2 took that picture. I’ve never seen one of those before but after some Googling I’ve learned it’s a Carolina Sphinx moth.
