And then I got Sick

Still no update; I wanted to try for one last weekend, but I came down with the flu and had to spend a lot of time in bed instead.

I've also been using some free time to play Resident Evil 4 Wii Edition. While I'm not usually into either shooters or horror, I've taken at least enough of a liking to play several hours' worth so far. Having [briefly] tried the PS2 version of the game as well, I can certainly say the Wii controls feel a lot better to me than a standard controller. It's not perfect though; one thing I find unintuitive is needing to use the control stick to pan the camera upward while aiming - why doesn't it just go where the Wiimote goes? And how come the rifle doesn't use the Wiimote to aim at all? Why does the number 4 come before the "Resident Evil" on the game box and title screen? And WHY do I keep getting attacked by zombified villagers!? ... Wait, scratch that one.

In other news, I've temporarily removed the links to Exquisite (fruit-candy.net) because the site has apparently been compromised by a trojan. I've visited the site using Firefox however, and have not had trouble (aside from temporary browser-lockup upon loading the first page). So, IE users beware... the rest of you, carry on.
