The Police on Tour

Game Talk, Way Off Topic No Comments »

The Police were one of my favorite bands when I was a teenager. I loved their music and music videos. Playing The Police song “Message in a Bottle” on Guitar Hero 2 and singing “Every Little Thing She Does is Magic” on Karaoke Revolution bring back such good memories of growing up with the Police. That’s why I’m very excited to hear that the Police are going back on tour. They are also releasing a greatest hits album to mark their 30th anniversary of their debut. The new Police cd is a two-disc compilation includes hits from their first five albums as well as their very first single, “Fall Out.” Take a look at this list. No wonder they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:

Disc: 1
1. Fallout
2. Can’t Stand Losing You
3. Next to You
4. Roxanne
5. Truth Hits Everybody
6. Hole in My Life
7. So Lonely
8. Message in a Bottle
9. Reggatta de Blanc
10. Bring on the Night
11. Walking on the Moon
12. Don’t Stand So Close to Me
13. Driven to Tears
14. Canary in a Coalmine

Disc: 2
1. Do Do Do de da da Da
2. Voices Inside My Head
3. Invisible Sun
4. Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic
5. Spirits in the Material World
6. Demolition Man
7. Every Breath You Take
8. Synchronicity I
9. Wrapped Around Your Finger
10. Walking in Your Footsteps
11. Synchronicity II
12. King of Pain
13. Murder by Numbers
14. Tea in the Sahara

Seeing that list brings back those high school memories. Whatever mood I was in, I could always relate to a Police song. I listened to more music as a teenager than I watched TV or played video games. My video game obsession is something that hit around the time I went to college. High school was all about the music, and the Police were a big influence. I listened to their songs, cried for the heartbreak that Sting went through, and felt happy yet sad when Sting launched his solo career.

Yes, the Police cd is something I will definitely have to get my hands on. I would love to see them on tour but with the little one that might be more difficult to pull off. Hopefully there will be a Police 2007 Tour DVD in the near future as well, so those who can’t make it to the concert can at least watch it at home.

The new Police cd will be available in the US on June 5th and internationally June 11th. This will make a wonderful anniversary gift since my husband and I will be celebrating 12 years together on June 10th. The Police mark their anniversary with a new cd, and we’ll mark ours by getting some great music.

Nanny Mania Update

Casual Games, Games No Comments »

I finally got to play Nanny Mania this weekend. After playing the demo, Nanny Mania will be my choice of game to get from Big Fish Games.

You have tasks to do. It’s easy enough to do a task. Just click on the outline task whether it is laundry or changing the baby. Some tasks like laundry have multiple steps. You have to put the clothes in the washer, wait, then transfer to the dryer, wait, and then put clothes in the dresser. As the game progresses, more tasks are assigned as well as more kids are added to the Mayor’s growing family.

Nanny Mania is a fun game. If you enjoy Flower Shop Pro, Cake Mania, or other time managment casual game then Nanny Mania should be a fun experience.
