CAWD Game Day!

Posted by sherr | Friday, October 24th, 2008 | Comments (10)

On Wednesday afternoon Cawd had a game afternoon before the long weekend. During lunch a couple of second years took a trip to Little Caesar’s and picked up 18 Pizzas and a ‘liter of cola’ (points for knowing the movie) or two.

So from noon till about 5pm we played a little Halo 3, Smash Bro’s N64, Mario Cart Wii and Fable 2. I believe we had around 6 360′s, 2 64′s and a PSP or two running at once (I can only estimate because I was in video game mode / tunnel vision). All of the 360′s were networked together and in a single game of Halo 3, BTW I won all the games, even the games I wasn’t in.

For those past students that would like to visit and maybe partake in pizza and some Halo 3, we maybe having another game day on November 21st, right before the Thanksgiving break. So past Cawd students in college coming back for their thanksgiving break, drop us an email beforehand and your welcome to visit anytime (with coffee).

Super Smash Bros Brawl

We finally got Super Smash Bros Brawl, and have been playing it every free moment for the last 2 days. After playing the n64 smash for 2 years, jumping to Brawl is a HUGE difference, Brawl’s graphics look a thousand times better. The fire and bombs don’t look like animated .gifs anymore, and the character models look dramatically better due to the fact they have more than 12 polys. As always Kirby is still just a glorified sphere and looks the same, but he still owns all others.

The biggest difference between the two games is the pace. The pace in Brawl is a so much faster, I get lost and have no idea where I am, what game I’m playing or even what my name is. This is the first time in a video game that I feel that I just can’t keep up with the pace and it makes me feel like a middle aged person playing an atari for the first time in the mid 80′s. There is so mush happening on the screen sometimes that I feel like I should just give up and go back to the n64 version; or better yet, where’s my atari 2600, I can pwn me some noobs on that thing.

We gots the Wii!!

We have been saving up money to buy something that can be used in the classroom. The second years got together and decided what it was going to be. It wasn’t a tough decision and a new Nintendo Wii is now ours! Our favorite game is Wii Sports (gotta get that P.E. credit somehow). Wii Sports has bowling, tennis, baseball, golf, and boxing. We also bought Resident Evil 4, Zelda, and 4 controllers. This is the new edition to our classroom and it’s all about the fun. We have a Wii!!
