First day... (not counting the weekend)

So, today is the first workday vacation... I slept in. Ok, not really, since I didn't get to sleep this morning until 3am. I was up at 10. I did the morning housekeeping chores. Watered flowers, fed the kitty, and put out birdseed for the birdies... and the squirrels, ground piggies, and various other woodland creatures that may visit Linda's back yard sanctuary.

I picked up a very cool game for the Xbox on Saturday, and I've been addicted to playing it like I haven't played a game in a long time. DC Comics, Batman: Arkham City.

Arkham City is set in Gotham, but it's a "city" created by combining the Gotham Prison and Arkham Asylum... a massive prison city. Bruce Wayne is kidnapped and left for dead within the city, but with the help of Alfred and various Gotham law enforcement within the city, he becomes Batman... and the action never stops.

Due to it being a combination of both the prison and the Asylum, this game doesn't lack for characters from the Batman Legacy... from Poison Ivy and Joker, to Black Mask and Solomon Grundy. The side missions are a fun and challenging break from the main story. The game overall is a combination of fighter and puzzles (mainly via The Riddler leaving things throughout the game).

You can also play as Catwoman, a special downloadable character... She's awesome to play as.

That has been the day so far... after lunch I'm taking the kids and myself out for haircuts and then to see what kinda trouble we can get into on our own.
