Boom Blox

This weekend I played Boom Blox with the girlfriend. No that is not a eupemism for anything. The game came from Gamefly and she actually enjoys it.  If it keeps her interest for a while I may pick it up used. However, the design is pretty bad in that it's quite linear. About as linear as you can get. You have to pass one 'challenge' to get to the next one which sucks when you get to an impossible one. 

There is a level with these damn baby cows perched precariously atop a balanced pile of jenga-style blocks. You have to remove as many blocks as possible before those dangerloving baby cows come tumbling down.  And we got to one that seems impossible. I'd appreciate any help or advice but I don't think I will get it because as far as I know, YEM does not have a Wii. Although I haven't checked personally. 

So we are stuck in co-op and unable to progress. We tried and tried this level but cant' pass it and because of that, over half of the co-op game is,and probably will remain, out of our reach.  How, in this day and age, can game designers be so f-ing oblivious?

Now on to other news--is it just me or is the whole Hefner thing just fucking sad and pathetic at this point?  He has new 'girlfriends' now,  a couple of twins. I never watched that show with his three live-in whores but I expect it to be absolutely vile.  Do you think he actually believes these women have any kind of affinity for him at all, or does he realize his life at this point is just one big business transaction?  I swear if someone told me the story about this old guy living with a bunch of hot teenage sluts in a giant mansion and banging them all the time, I'd laugh my ass off and tell you you were one creative son of a bitch to make up a fucked-up story like that.
