Well, it's just about spring break. I'm definitely excited to take a week off from school.

I've been playing ALOT of Battlefront II. I'm not sure why I've been playing it. Could it be my love of StarWars? The game's addicting gameplay? The multiplayer? I honestly don't know, but I'm hooked again.

Half-Life 2 is now on my machine again. I miss playing Sourceforts every now and then, and I really miss Insurgency.

I'm going to have to say Dawn of War: Dark Crusade is the game that's eating away my life. I've always been a fan of Warhammer 40k, and this game is paradise (in a brutal, futuristic warfare kinda way). The squad-based combat is one of it's really cool features, along with some of the "big-picture" strategic elements.

I had to create a short WWII documentary for school, so I put my Medal of Honor Pacific Assault soundtrack to work. As it was playing in front of the class, my teacher walked over to me and asked if the music was from Medal of Honor. Haha! I really got a kick out of that. Now I know why he can never grade papers on time.

That's all for now I guess, see ya!

I read about this game a while back, and didn't think too much of it. All I could say about it was that it was a blatant Team Fortress 2 rip-off. I just watched the trailer, and I have a few new thoughts on the game.

Pros:

-Free

-Customizable, level-upable character

-Cartoony, fun ****/p>

-Matchmaking

-On-going campaign through Europe

Cons:

-It's free, so what can I expect from it?

I think the first thing I have to say is that I LOVE the fully customizable character option. I haven't played a WWII shooter where I get to dress and name my soldier in...actually, I've never played a WWII game like that. The cartoony graphics fit the frantic gameplay, and it's a welcome break from serious WWII games (or, any other WWII game at all). The matchmaking also sounds pretty cool (no more clunky server browsers).

Considering that this game is free, I only have one somewhat negative comment. It's free. How am I supposed to know what to expect from a free game? Will it be the same quality as previous games in the series?

Any comments?

I'm happy to announce I have uploaded my first video. It's a short compilation of unreleased Half-Life 2 sequences. If you look closely, you can see different thinds that never made it into the game (enemy character models, a boss, a strider attack). I worked hard to time the footage right (it's in synch with the piano).

A new emblem came coupled with my new video as well! Woohoo!

Games I've been playing alot recently:

I got back into Battlefield 2 as well as World of Warcraft. I've been (slowly but surely!) playing through The Movies and Baldur's Gate II: Shadow of Amn.

I think I'm going to play through Fable again, I can't get over how short it was!
