Mirror’s Edge Trailer


Does anyone get the feeling this might be 2008’s Portal? It’s got a really catchy soundtrack, cool game mechanic that you have to perfect, and it’s looking like one neat story. Speaking of the story there is a story video that helps give you an idea what this game is about. I think this is a new and cool trend from EA doing story trailers for games they are releasing.

I probably already mentioned this, but just for preordering the game you get a neat bag, and there is another bag from Timbuk2, but I guess that one is around $120 preorder and I’m not really ready to make that kind of investment.

They are supposed to be releasing comic books as well to help give the story more depth. I still kind of dig comic books. I’ll have to see if the comic book store in Barberton is getting them. I hope I can find them.

Grandma’s Birthday

Grandma wanted to go some where special to eat for her birthday, so she suggested the Imperial Wok in Solon. It’s a really great Chinese place that you only want to go to once a year. It’s a bit pricey, but you get a lot of food and it’s much better than a Chinese buffet. It’s approximately a 50 minute drive from here, but she wanted to go, and it was her birthday, so we went.

The food was as great as I remember. I got to do the same thing to the kids as my Dad always did with us, which is to say that I had them try the hot oil stuff that they bring out to your table so you can make your food spicier. They did the same thing all of us always did. They took a dab, and then they remarked that they didn’t think it was that big of a deal, and then the burn started. I love Asian spicy stuff.

I have to say that as long as I remember Solon it’s barely changed. It’s pretty much the only area of the world that I remember fondly. If I ever had the money I’d move there.
