Kirby has been cursed by an evil witch and turned into a pink ball. It’s our job to help him along in his quest to break the curse and free the land.
The story itself is not intrinsic to the game. In fact I had to look it up for this review. What this boils down too is that the game play does just fine in the fun department without the story there to lean on.
I’m sure this has already been around virtual block a few times, but so worth it! HAHAHAAHAAHAHAAHAHHAAHAAHAH!!!

June was a total bust, only read seven books!!
July wasn’t shaping up to be much better with all the traveling and such, but I contracted a mild stomach flu and spent the past few days listless yet not so incapacitated I couldn’t read. Thus I am chugging right along on my July stack. (See how I am trying for a silver lining on my being sick during vacation?) Then again most months that I am ahead I space out half way through and have to scrounge at the end. =)
Ten books a month is a lot to read and I find that I’m struggling with getting enough sleep and finishing all my books. Sadly the best reading time for me is also the best sleeping time. Ah well, I’m still well on track to read 100 books this year.
Its that time of the month again where I whip out my paranormal smut and call it a reading list.
The theme for this months literary jello shot is:
The goal is to read 10 books chosen from the “Read” shelf of 10 GR friends of the participant.
So I actually looked at my too read pile and found books that my GoodReads friends had already read. Might have cheated a bit, but its good for the pile. Besides I only managed nine books last month. Must get a crackin!
Our Sunday was spent amongst the mass of people, sixty thousand strong, at Maker Fair. I will venture to say that it was crowded, and it took me about an hour to find parking, but every second of discomfort was worth it to see the incredible inventions of these amazing people.
It was our first time going and we were not really prepared. Turns out almost the entire event was held outside. Yeah I read convention hall and figured no need for sunscreen and hats.
And one day? What were we thinking??? It was not nearly enough time to experiance the entire event.
We finally left the event sunburned and exhausted, but it was so incredibly worth it. People have made some crazy, ingenious, awesome, and beautiful stuff. And really I can’t not love an event where I can say: “Lets go see the burning thing over there!”
<3 TFG <– will be going next year, all weekend!!
Deep Labyrinth was a husband purchase, I think. Though if I bought it, it was certainly intended for him. Which means, since the game has been hidden away in his DS case until my unearthing of all things buried, this is my first look at the actual game.
It also means I had no idea what to expect. Turns out, it is an action RPG using first person perspective, with sword fighting and magic casting.
The first person perspective makes me think of Oblivion – running around behind a floating sword, while the graphics are much more of a throwback to say HeXen days of the FPS genre.
Its that time again where I marvel at the fact that I somehow managed to read all the books from the previous month and stare at the huge stack of books for the next month and wonder how in the hell I’m going to miss enough sleep to read them all. ~breath~
Onward! This month’s challenge has to do with book covers.
Read 3 books whose that has a single male on the cover.
Read 3 books whose that has a single female on the cover.
Read 2 books whose cover feature a couple.
Read 2 books where there is no person or human image at all.
Token Female Gamer’s books at GoodReads.com
Should be fun!!

Serial April challenge.
Goal: Read a book from 10 different series.
Last months challenge worked out better than I expected. In fact this whole read 100 books by the end of the year thing is going really well also. Currently I have read 41 books in 2010. At this rate I could hit 150 by the end of the year.
But down to business. Here is my list of books for the month. Let the fluff reading begin!
January was a rousing success! Read all ten of my books, plus three more, and a few manga thrown in for good measure!
I finished early in Jan, mainly because of the moving. Now I’m into February (three days in already), ten books in a paltry 28 days, and I cant even find my books. Oh they are here somewhere, in a box. Should have been more worried about Feb. Going to have to cram to finish this month. Oh well.
Read a book by the following:
1. A Favorite Author – Visions of Heat by Nalini Singh
2. An Author that is “new” to you – Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater
3. An Author you had given up before but willing to give a second chance – Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
4. A GoodReads Author – Light my Fire by Katie MacAlister
5. An Author born/died in the same year as you – (1977) Hex by Rhiannon Lassiter
6. An Author whose first or last name starts with the initial of your first name – (D) Undead and Unreturnable by Mary Janice Davidson
7. An Author whose first or last name starts with the initial of your last name – (B) The Invisible Ring by Anne Bishop
8. A male Author – Darkly Dreaming Dexter by Jeff Lindsay
9. A female Author – Fire Study by Maria V. Snyder
10. With more than one Author (anthologies included). – The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest Edited by Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling
You know that nasty illness that’s been going around and lasts forever. Well I got it. I can’t breath through my nose and I’m hacking up a lung every five minutes.
And we are moving (IRL) at the end of the month. So I’m trying desperately to pack everything but the computers and the TV and have an Internet connection set up before I move. Important stuff.
But being sick and packing dont mix well, and for some stupid reason I can’t make myself get extra sleep because I might miss a raid. Plus we got the second season of Chuck on DVD, so I really can’t convince myself to sleep.
Stupid I know.
