Misc: Well, it took a lot more effort more time than I ever thought it would, but our move to the new place is finally complete. We turned in our old keys a couple of days ago, made our final run to the dump, and all that's left is to put away a few things still laying around in our new space.
.
Although it was extremely painful thanks to a good deal of underestimation on my part and entirely too many trips up and down stairs, it feels nice to be in the new space and having things start to settle down. My wife and I are definitely creatures of habit, and getting jarred out of our routine is fairly uncomfortable. It's not that we can't handle change, but our jobs and our lives in general are fairly chaotic, so we like to have a very stable, calm center in the home. When that gets disrupted, all bets are off.
.
Thankfully, it seems as though the roughest waves are starting to smooth out. It might sound a little funny, but right now being boring and settled seems like the best thing the world to me.

Games: Here’s a link to the latest GameCritics podcast. In it, we discuss Scribblenauts (DS), Muramasa (Wii), and the role of ease and accessibility in terms of games and their appeal to the mass market. Although I've got a few other game-related things to talk about, I'm going to take easy tonight and shelve that stuff until later. However, look for an interview with the developers of 360 shooter Section 8 coming soon -- most likely in the next update.

Food: FruitSource bars (found at Safeway and other grocery stores in the produce section) KICK ASS.

They’re like a dozen fruit roll-ups squashed together into a thick, chewy ingot of pure sugary-sweet goodness. Just thinking about one now is making me salivate.
.
These things are so good, I would easily eat six or eight of them in a sitting if I wasn't concerned about contracting diabetes immediately afterward. The best part is that they contain two servings of fruits, so it's not junk food all... just hyper-condensed fruit.
.
Totally recommend these things. They are worth every penny.
