A quiet day, much enjoyed.

   I had a lovely day with the kids today, We watched a few "Spooky" YouTube videos, which the kids always enjoy.

   I picked up Left 4 Dead again last night. I'd have to say that the L4D series is my favorite of this console generation. Normally a simple, straightforward shooter would not be terribly interesting to me but Valve got the basics so right, and the atmosphere so perfect, that I can't help but love it.

   It was also one of the first games that my daughters really grew to love. Learning to navigate in a 3D space with a controller, while second-nature to gamers nowadays, is a pretty complex skill for people to learn, and my girls learned how on Left 4 Dead.

   I'm also slowly, but surely, worming my way through "The Walking Dead" by Telltale games. It's been receiving many Game of the year accolades lately. So far as I've gone through it, it seems well-deserved.

  I'm definitely making progress on "Heart-Shaped Box" and am thoroughly enjoying it. Next up is "These Lonely Place" by R.K. Combrinck, whose blog you can find in my link section. There is so much excellent literature out there that I need to catch up on, it can seem overwhelming at times.

   Work has yet to start on next week's story, though I plan to develop an outline very soon and get cracking on things.

   Until we meet again, dear hypothetical reader.
