NHL 09

April 4, 2009 / Paul posted in Gaming, Videos / No Comments

I’m looking forward to a vacation later this month and when I received a jury summons in the mail this week I just about flipped. Luckily the summons falls on a day after my vacation and it does say you can ask for a postponement, but would they have granted me one, I don’t know.

I’ve mentioned in a previous post that I bought EA’s NHL 09 for the XBOX 360. The controls take some getting used to, but I managed to get Alexis to play the shootouts and she occasionally wins. Here’s a video of one of her goals:



Tyler has also been coming over on the weekends to play. Here’s a screenshot from a practice goal where the puck is going off of the defenders face.

This weekend was a blast. Dustin and Hunter visited and Alexis had a birthday. Friday night Alexis and I went over to my Mom’s place and had dinner, tried to watch Galaxy Quest, and talked all night. We took some pictures of Hunter that I may post sometime this week. Sunday, Alexis and I went out to eat at Genghis Grill and went shopping. Alexis bought some boxes to put her colored pencils in and a cordless mini-mouse for her netbook. On a side note, I keep forgetting to tell my Dad that if he doesn’t mind a tiny 10″ screen, that a netbook is very affordable and probably all he needs.

I ended up buying EA NHL’09, which I had downloaded as a demo on the 360. I still need to keep playing the games in my back log, but couldn’t resist picking it up. It’s just too much fun. Maybe I can guide the Dallas Stars to victory in the game, because their season looks like it will end soon. I’m not confident that they can make it to the playoffs. In fact odds are they won’t make it, if I understand this website correctly. Richards broke his left hand in the last game just as he was returning from a right wrist injury. So the Stars can’t seem to find any luck, much less the back of the net.
