No Closure Today. Random Drivel Ensues
Posted on March 27, 2006

| I know I said there’d be a new Closure episode today. I honestly intended to get one to you, but circumstances well within my control lead to my inability to follow through on this basic promise to you, my friends and readers. |

I stayed up until 2:00am on Sunday morning with nothing but an electric screwdriver and three DDR pads for company.* |
A number of months ago I covered my DDR use. Of the many things I talk about on this blog, my lifelong addiction hobby of playing video games has been fairly understated.
Where other adult men watch sports, hang about with ne’er-do-well friends and their attendant flagons of alcoholic beveriges, fornicate with loose women, or build small tables with their portable electric lathes**, I play these infernal video games.
I won’t go into much more detail than that unless an overwhelming number of my peers say, “SafeTinspector! Talk more about video games, that’s fascinating, and truly sexy in a way I’ve never realized before. Thinking of you with a wee controller in your meathooks gives me wood/moisture.”
But, suffice it to say that shoddy Chinese manufacture required me to consolidate three pads into two so that I may dance upon them in the moonlight.
Sunday is reserved for family. On that day I don’t work (I do work Saturdays) and I try not to commit to anything that doesn’t involve my entire SafeTclan nuclear family. Any blogging is performed early in the morning or late at night. I was in no shape to write when, at 6:30am, I was awakened by a 4 year old girl jumping on my stomach.
And by the time the day was through that whole 4.5-hours-of-sleep thing caught up with me and knocked me out like a recreational pistol whipping.
Lack of consciousness = lack of writing.
No Closure, people. Get over it, you four-or-five people whom I love like a brother for reading the series so far. You’ll have to wait another day to learn what will happen as the forklift wielding Bruce (and his cosmetically angrified conjoined twin brother) bears down upon Joe Minnetola next to the apparently lifeless and dismembered body of the android Chuck.
* I recycled this picture from my previous DDR related post. I do not have a newer picture making a fool out of myself at this time.
** Statistically, these are the top four pastimes of adult males. Look it up!

you are not alone in your “hobby” of video games, i happen to know more men that partake in that pastime than any of the aformentioned.
DDR is a good way to get exercise!
I’ve heard such. And, I must admit, my legs are in incredible shape.
But I still have a substancial tummy and butt.
Unfortunately, I’ve never tried DDR, but if you’re ever in need of another videogame-related obsession, I’d thoroughly recommend Guitar Hero. It’s as addictive as crack and nearly as fun!
I’ve played Guitar Hero. It’s very fun! But not too calisthenical.
oohh, if you really want a fun game ~ go for Myst, Riven, URU, etc, they are serious fun, and make oyu think, not just a point and shoot game. Also, if you like a little point and shoot, nad mazes, etc, tombraider is lots of fun too. we have spent many a night crowded about the computer, yelling at my hubby to ~go that way, oh, look up there, hey, wait, whoaa, the zombie is coming around the corner , I think you went here before~ etc… lots of fun.
And you love me like a brother?? What’s up with that, I have enough estrogen to at least rate sister, don’t I??lol,
RedHead:No, no, you misunderstand. I love you as if I were your brother.
‘Course, this assumes you have good relations with your siblings.
As for the games you mention, I must admit they aren’t my favorites. I’ve played Tomb Raider and Myst (although I never played the sequel, Riven) and did enjoy them both to a certain extent. Both those games have awesome atmosphere. A bit on the slow side, but that’s ok.
….do you really want to talk video games? I can so go there. I’ve not done so on this blog for fear of subsuming it in my gamer nature.
