Since the last entry I:

*Failed to complete the Deal Breaker multiplayer co-op mission in “GTA IV” before going to bed (but after watching the excellent final week of “In Treatment”).

I tried this mode with three different groups of people on Tuesday. I tried it with two average joes. Failure. Then I tried it with Chris Grant and Michael Zenke of the Joystiq blogging family. Failure. Then I tried it with Brian Crecente and Mike Fahey of the Kotaku blogging network. Failure. What can we take away from this? (I hope no one notices that I am one of the only common factors.)

*Did some battling in “The World Ends With You.” I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed battles in an RPG this much. Lots of strategy and physical dexterity required as you use the DS  face buttons to control the character combat on the top screen while using the stylus to fight on the lower screen.

Got the dreaded low-battery red light on the subway way up to work. Forgot my charger. Dumb move. Why can’t I remember to keep it in my bag?

Next: I charge my DS. Exciting!
