Hello to all out there in Gamespot land, it's been a little while since we last spoke. I have been very busy with work, and life so I figued I would take a quick moment to catch up with you all.
On the life side of things, the hunt for a new house has started! For those that have been through this before,you know what I mean when I say this can take up every free minute of your time. Just looking at places that are even close to where we currently live seems to take FOR FREAKING EVER. The good news is, I think we have things narrowed down to two places, so this may come to an end soon. Then, we just have to pack, move, fix up the old place and sell it.. or maybe keep it and rent it out, have not decided on that yet.
On the gaming front, wow, where to start. It seems like I have blown through a bunch of games in the past few weeks. Dirt 2, for you racing fans is a FANTASTIC game with awesome graphics and great game play. For you PS3 peeps, you MUST play Uncharted 2. The game keeps on keeping on with a great story, and beautiful enviorments. Gameplay is solid, and there is a new multiplayer aspect that can keep you going after you finish the single player part. Again, this is a MUST PLAY IMO.
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. Hmm, what to say.... this might be one of the first games where I feel it was over hyped to the point where the devs actually flat out LIED to potential buyers of the game. Don't get me wrong, it's not really a bad game, it just did not have things that we were TOLD would be in the game.
Forza 3 : WOW, race fans on the 360, don't wait to jump into this game. It's DEEP with lots of cars and tracks, and more customization then you probably know what to do with! Speaking of this game, make sure you check out the Gamespot COMMUNITY GAME NIGHT for next weeks game night that features Forza 3. More info can be found HERE
More Life stuff.........
As you all know, Halloween was last weekend, man am I glad that it's OVER! I love halloween, but I think I have finally found something that I just might be getting too old for.... loud, crowded bars on halloween night 
Here in Baltimore we have a area of the city called Fells Point. Thisplace probably has three bars for every retail store in the area, and on Halloween you can say it gets a little............ crazy. Any way, I had a buddy of mine fly in from Denver for the weekend (for another reason that you will see in a minute) So I figued it was my duty to subject him to the drunken mobs that rule the streets in Fells Point on this night. Man, don't think I will ever do that again.
Why helllllooo there, take me to your TeePee....
And here is my new favorite bartender. She offered to tie me up in her web, but I could not let that happen.
So as mentioned before, a buddy of mine flew in from Denver for the weekend. The reason... the Ravens were playing the (at the time) undefeated Denver Broncos. This pic was taken from our seats...
Turned out to be great game for Baltimore, with a 30-7 win!
Oh, one more pic.. I took this yesterday out of my home office window. I had it all framed up, and would have been a very cool pic of a Blue Jay, but the damn bird could not wait, so this is what I got.
That's about it for now. Hope you are all doing well.... GAME ON!

Nice pics.Yeah, I really look forward to Uncharted 2. Not gonna even bother renting it; it's an automatic buy for me. Good luck with the house search.
Ah, Fells Point... how I miss those days. I've finally gotten to the point where I realize that I'm too old for those kinds of things nowadays. Glad you had fun though... the pics were great.
I'll be getting Forza soon enough as well as a PS3 for Uncharted 2... I cannot wait. Just gotta get through the mid-Nov releases of MW2 and L4D2.
Nice pics there, I am jealous because we don't have that kind of pub here, must be very cosy.
Giddy up! Thanks for the heads up on the Forza 3 night...it's an awesome racing game.
Looked like you had a really fun Halloween as well. And really nice seat at the football game. And the picture of the Blue Jay would been nice with it sitting still. But I think what you toke was nice as well.
I agree with both of the previous two comments!
In all seriousness though they'll catch the Bengals, but they'll be hard pressed to pass the Steelers int the division.
Finally I'm going to start Uncharted 2 today, yay !
Well, that seems to be a really nice party. I hope you find a good new house. I am not that picky. Plus, I will always take the Steelers over the Ravens... Sorry
