Lara Croft – Time Raider is to blame. Yes if you have been wondering where I have been it is all her fault. Work has been crazy busy the past several weeks but in my down time I have been playing games on my new Xbox. To my wife’s gratitude I finally cleaned up the basement entertainment cabinet by donating my old PS2, Gamecube and Wii. As well as the old DVD player. In it’s place came the Xbox so I have my video game system and DVD player in one.
And unfortunately that means Lara Croft has been sucking all my free time as I veg out on the couch instead of drawing or spending time on the internet. But I am not a total waste as I spent two days volunteering this past weekend. Don’t you think better of me now?
Any guilty pleasures you have that are pretty much a waste of time but you still do them anyway?

Wow. It’s been a minute since I’ve played that. First on the PC. Last on the PS2.
Yeah…not into all those first person shooter games that are popular these days.
Word.
Eating chocolate and posting comments on blogs.
haha so true
You’ll never be in a position again to give the rest of us grief when we slack off Bearman! … like NEVER ever-ever! [smirk]
My slacking off is not posting for two weeks. Yours is not posting for two months. haha
Most all of my electronic game playing took place in the early 80’s. Ms. PacMan, Centipede on arcade quarter eating type of games. I play a little bit of games with the kids in the 90’s but never got hooked. I do wonder if the war/battle games that have you blowing off heads of the enemy are very good for anything.
Is it any different than us killing poor aliens in Space Invaders…hehe
Is the new Xbox one backwards compatible? I went with ps4 and it is not.
No but I am told that eventually both will let you pay to download older games
A few weeks ago I downloaded candy crush, another Bejeweled type game and Sudoku on my phone. Many upon many hours were wasted before I forced myself to uninstall them all.
Video games are the worst for me to stop playing. I become so focused on them. On many occasions I’ve played the same game for eight hours straight.
That was me on day one but I did take potty and food breaks. Haha
I had them all on my phone. So when I went potty, they came with me. :/
If you work hard, and you do, then guilty pleasures are a must. They take the stress away. Gives you something fun to look forward to as well.
Way to go on the volunteering too.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
I can identify with you, B. I’ve started playing games on my Kindle (AC collections available on that format also) and I’ve fallen in love with a Billiards game that I cannot seem to stop playing.
I’ve found myself pushing off working on my comics in favor of trying to make it to the next level. 🙂
Haha so can we expect you to finally slow down and post three days a week?
I should, but his 163-comic buffer I have needs a home. I can’t sit on all of ’em for too long. 😀
Then take your wife out to dinner once in a while haha
She eats her own words and all she feeds me is crow.
I think I met Lara in the Philippines once. I had my watch stolen off my arm by a woman who grabbed me by the wrist to try & get me to come into a bar. Got further down the street then noticed my watch was gone. Damn you time raider, damn you!!!
And here you were thinking she was hitting on you…poor poor guy
I’ve been wanting to veg out to a Zelda game. Haven’t played one since Ocarina of Time.
I wish Nintendo would just start licensing it’s characters to PS and Xbox.
The newest Tomb Raider was amazing! I loved it so much that I slept with her.
I mean I played with her all night…
Oh! You know what I mean!
No…I thought I did but now I am not sure haha
That’s understandable Bearman, work will do it every time.
Thanks David!!
Video games are the great thief of creative folk.
You said it.
I have no willpower when it comes to video games… I stopped cold turkey three years ago!
I pretty much did too. Damn me wanting a blue ray player and this being the most economical way to bundle stuff.
I feel the same way about Klondike, The Lost Expedition. It’s a FB game & I spend way too much time playing it lately! For me, right now, it’s a bit of an escape as I adjust to a new more sedate lifestyle, after being diagnosed with COPD. I have to get used to a number of limitations & it helps me not spend time feeling sorry for myself or worrying about what I have yet to face.
Well always wishing you good health for a long time. Hope you find some relief to enjoy yourself.
OMG LOL. I wasted a good chunk of my life on Tomb Raider. I have been through the highs and lows of different developers . Thank goodness the original team are back.Though I did find the latest a little too violent . I liked the original version where you had to go right back to the start of the level if you had no save diamonds left. They need to go back to the complex puzzle solving rather than just the shooting, spearing, hacking, cutting and clubbing. I was also hoping they would introduce us to Lara Crofts sexy brother … a girl can hope!!!
haha. Bill Croft went into IT.
I agree, I do enjoy the puzzle nature of the originals versus just shooting your way through things.
If you have to be distracted, she’s a good way to go!
Fun to hang with
If you catch her, you probably won’t be walking for a while.
Hey we can’t blame you for spending time with Lara Croft,
I wouldn’t mind a bit with her too, hey spending time I meant…
Well actually, er, never mind just keep enjoying her, I mean
keep playing with her, I mean with it, no the Xbox… I have a PS3
and just love playing that instead of working on anything 🙂
Have a wicked Hump Day Bearman…
