I’ve finished BioShock last week and have been patiently waiting for my next paycheque to purchase a new game for myself on the Xbox. Last night, I was cruising on the free demo section of Xbox Live Arcade and got to playing UNO.
Yeah. UNO. The Crazy Eight style card game.
I dunno why I fixated on it. In the demo mode, you play against three computer players (while the unlocked version has live players) and it had no discernible strategy. All I had to do was press A button a thousand times to win or lose. Mostly lose. I guess I was playing for a long time, I don’t recall. The game is so lame yet it sucked me in and made me play for about an hour.
Today I get an email at work from SharkBoy:
I got Orange Box for you. I couldn’t stand it watching you play UNO… on Xbox 360 Live… UNO… I had to get you something else.. I just had to
Every day is like Xmas with him!
Hey look, honey! I’m playing these games on a crappy 32″ TV! It’s not a flat screen! How lame is that?

UNO is addictive. Especially now that it supports webcams…so you can sit there, pressing A, watching peoples’ cameras focused on their cat or the window or something, and listening to them breathe. Video games rule.
P.S. I second the nomination for Mass Effect, if you’re at all into sci-fi, and I have an inkling of a feeling you might be.
