I Suck At G4TV's Top 100 Games

This week felt like a long week.

On Thursday, Karen, my two year old daughter (Briana), my three month old daughter (Bridget), and I hung out with my friends (Marc, Kelley, and Andrea). It was our usual weekly get together. Although truth be told, we haven't been meeting regularly every week for some time.

Marc and Kelley hosted on Thursday, so we were able to see their new place. They recently purchased a condo in Quincy at the end of last month. So it was good to get the tour of the new place. The place is quite nice. And as Karen pointed out, their place is easily accessible from the highway, which is great if you are like me and don't like to drive through the city of red lights known as Quincy.

Anyway, it was good to hang out for a little while. Like most events these days, I drew the parenting straw. So I got to watch Bridget and Briana while Marc, Andrea and Karen went for some ice cream at Frozen Freddie's. It's just as well that I did not go. I think my love of Kimball Farms in Westford has ruined all other ice cream places for me.

Regardless, one of the more interesting things that came up during the night, aside from hearing how my BFF (Kerry) was in awe during her first comic book store experience, was G4TV's Top 100 Video Games of All Time. Now, I suck at G4TV's Top 100 Games. Sadly, we couldn't watch the entire countdown that night.

Watching the countdown, however, got my geek on. I remember playing so many of the games in that countdown. Fun times! I'm not sure what my own personal countdown would be, but I know that Resident Evil 4 would be in the top ten easily. That and most likely Grand Theft Auto 3 because it was so groundbreaking at the time. Those were the days!

Speaking of the G4 countdown, Scott Porter was on the show. Man, he looks different. For anyone curious, Scott Porter played Jason Street from Friday Night Lights. He was "6".

All in all, it was good to see everyone. And it was fun to reminisce about video games. And who knew, Andrea was a video gamer of sorts with her Dr. Mario game.
