Ditch....

If you ever needed a reason to bail out on work mid week I am ready to provide you with one. Wait for it. Steady. Just a bit longer.






Now I am the first to tell you that I am not into video games. With the exception on Tetris, I have not enjoyed video games since Atari. Call me a prude but I am not really into the whole shoot-em-up-car-hijacking-talking-on-weird-headsets-and- loosing-hours-of-your-life-in-front-of-the-TV-every-day-of-the-week nature of video games. Straight from the creators of that arcade classic PacMan, this gem entered my life yesterday and I have to say...it's sort of like crack. It's addictive to watch and even more addictive to play. The whole point of the game is that you are a tiny Prince and you push this ball, a katamari, around different worlds until it reaches a predetermined size. As your ball gets bigger you can pick up bigger objects. For instance, when the boy was trying to make a 1 meter ball last night it became large enough to pick up cats and people. Once your ball is large enough, the King of the Cosmos comes to Earth and takes you back to space on the Royal Rainbow. In space he sends your katamari to the sky and it becomes a star. I know. It sounds completely insane sort of like a bad/good acid trip but trust me on this one. It's Awesome.
