Week 3 & 4: January 20 - February 2, 2014
Books: I finished rereading Heroes of the Fallen Lands, one of the core books for D&D Essentials (D&D 4E). My sister thinks that D&D ended with AD&D 2e (which is now Pathfinder?, I think) but I enjoy D&D 4e. I think it is sufficiently different from what I grew up with to not feel conflicted loyalties. Rereading the corebooks makes me realize how much I miss this kind of gaming. I've tried teaching my kids to play, but they have neither the attention span nor the maturity to handle the mechanics.
Games: I am still playing Skylanders: Swap Force, but nothing new.
DVDs: I watched Barbie Diamond Castle with D2 while we were both sick. The music was nice, and the storyline wasn't objectionable. I asked D2 if she thought the boys were cute and she answered with a flat "no". As always, who knows what women like? We all watched Lego Batman: the movie, which seems to be the animation sequences from Lego Batman 2. Again, the storyline wasn't objectionable and I got it for $2 so it was worth the money. It has as extras 2 episodes from Batman: the Brave & the Bold, which is a series that we all really enjoy, and an episode from Teen Titans. BTW, I bought it for myself so I'd get something for Christmas... a good buy indeed.
