Still sort of winding down from teaching and am now staring at the hu-massive pile of paperwork at home to sort through. So with this teeter-tower of 'things-to-do', I found my time more favourably employed by playing Flower on the PS3 after work last night. It's a beautiful, sweet game that shows not all console games have to involve blowing kneecaps off and fighting zombies (not that there's anything wrong with that, but it does get a bit same-y after a while, especially if you're crap at them like me). It's actually the perfect thing to play after work when you want to relax instead of locking your body up into adrenaline soaked knots because some 12 year old has shot you for the fifth time in eight seconds. Lovely soundtrack, too. I think my SO got it for U$12 online (legitimately, not a crack). If you're one of those people that tips their controller in the direction they want to head in on the screen, inducing laughter and derision from those still at school, this is a great game for you, cos that's how you control. You are the wind and the idea is to pollinate the flowers in a landscape. Which means you're sort of facilitating vegetal orgy on a grand scale, but hey... spread the love.

Only for the PS3, though? 3: I only have a PS2.
A wonderful vid... Oh what peacefully...
Hmm, I marvel what would your Snape say by seeing you beeing that wind on those flowers...
Maybe he would take it into closer consideration to stopp his teaching episode as well, - before he´ll face SUCH an end...?
