Gamecube
From the better late than never department:

I may be the last person left who doesn't game. My lovely sister bought me this Gamecube, and my first purchase sits nicely to the side: a used copy of NBA Live 2004 (hey, I wouldn't want to do anything like buy the latest version of something, would I?). Yesterday's score: San Antonio 145. Miami 43. You can guess which side I was on. Beat on the fast break every time. I miss the three - BAM. Some defender has already hit offense and put in an easy lay-up. The logic of gaming? Always being too late to be with it. . . .hmmm. Maybe my logic of gaming. The other logic of gaming: time goes quickly. What the hell? How long have I been playing this dang thing anyway?

Snow pounds outside. That means only one thing: plenty of time to bug students to post to the listserv (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE), reading, college hoops, cooking, Bell's Amber, annoying the cat, and time to write/think about the city and the digital.

Ok. that was more than one thing. No doubt later blog posts to come as well.

Charge? Is that a call in the NBA?

Or it could be I just suck at video games....
Even switched to the Pistons and then took on the Heat. Lost this time by about fifty. Though I did figure out how to take a charge....

Hundred point loss--ouch. Might try pounding on the Clippers or Warriors. That'd be my logic of gaming.
