My new album.



I know.. weird.

Oops

Hmm, looks like I've been slacking again. OOPS! My bad. Quite a bit of stuff has gone down since I last updated. I'll just give a quick gaming update:

I freaking RACKED UP when it came to games this holiday season. For my bday, I got Crackdown and Mass Effect from the wife, and a wireless receiver for the 360 from Moxa and TheslaminJ . Thanks guys! A week later, the wife went off on a cruise w/ her girlfriends to the Bahamas and I decided to keep myself busy with Call of Duty 4. It didn't take me long at ALL to fall head first into the ocean that is CoD4 multiplayer. I'm still swimming around in it too, discovering all sorts of great stuff! I honestly haven't had this much fun with a FPS since Battlefield 2 on the PC, and Goldeneye for the N64. The manner in which you rank up is ingenious, and all the weapons are very balanced. Definitely a 9/10 from me.

And what's great is that I actually got it for Christmas, after I rented it! And not only that, but also Super Mario Galaxy and Assassin's Creed as well! Wow! I'm definitely not going to be lacking when it comes to the game department for quite awhile. I haven't finished any of them yet.

Right now, I've got the Orange Box from Gamefly. I'm really enjoying it. People weren't kidding when they were talking about the sheer amount of quality material you get when you pick up the Orange Box. I played Half-Life 2 on the PC when it first came out a few years ago, so I'm not planning on playing that again. I started out with Portal, splitting time between wrapping my head around diverse puzzles and laughing my butt off at the writing. The game is only about 3-4 hours long, which I think is a good length. It lets you accomplish a pretty wide variety of puzzles without repeating itself. I finished Episode 1 a couple nights ago, and started in on Episode 2 right after. I should be able to finish it this weekend. I'm probably not going to play much Team Fortress 2, because I don't know anyone else who has it.
