We threw an Ugly Sweater Party at our place last night that went off pretty well! Jael and PETER (don't know an appropriate fake name for him) were there to attend for the Action Team, and it seemed like everyone had a fun time. :) My house would be PERFECT for gaming, maybe closer to x-mas if any norcal peeps visit for the holidays we can get a mini game day in.

Some epic titles for iOS lately. For Elrick and any other Zombie fans, the free endless runner "Into the Dead" is pretty awesome. It's first person in that realistic Mirror's Edge style, but you're running through hordes of zombies trying to last as long as you can. It's free. It'll give you at least a few minutes of fun.

SpaceTeam! This is a pretty amazing free app. It's for 2-4 players, also with iOS devices all in the same room. Your phones basically become control panels on a starship (sorta like Artemis) and there's these super quick timers that slide down. You have to give commands to the other players while hearing and following THEIR commands to you. All the buttons and switches on your console are random technobabble that changes, so it's just people yelling out all this crazy shit to each other, trying to keep your ship from blowing up. It plays great with just 2, so play it with your significant others!

Another free iOS game I've put a ridiculous amount of time into (around 6 hours so far) is called Undercroft. It's an old school turn based dungeon crawler, but why I'm so hooked on it is that you can set the difficulty level to EASY! So I can actually survive and jam through content. I love the exploration of these styles of games, but they always seem so hard. I might bump up the difficulty to see if I can hang.

Not free is that enhanced edition of Baldur's Gate. Never played the original, so might pick it up for $10 bucks. But since I'm having a fun time with Undercroft, might hold off for a bit to see if it goes on sale or something.
