And now that School is FINALLY OVER, I think I'm much more comfortable in working with whatever I want without the annoying criticism of such discriminating teachers of mine that involves school grades.
I haven't been too much into gaming for the past months except for a few notable titles that are quite appealing and are simply the types of ready-to-go games. And in this respect, I have sided with my PSP ever since I have it last June (and upgrading into the Slim at the end of October). It was quite easy to tell that the PSP pretty much killed my former addiction to console gaming ever since I was always on the move on my past college life. I never really had the time to effectively absorb a very great RPG story and it's all thanks to the depression that most of my teachers gave as well as their dangerously overgrown infectious ego that I have successfully lowered down over the past days.
As for Christmas, it was okay but the thing that made it special was that I can finally feel the smile in my face ever since I can't even put it in front of me for the past years since I'm always worrying about another upcoming college term that can give headaches and frustrations. So far, I only got two PS3 games (Ratchet and Clank, The Orange Box) which is already exceeding my expectations since I told my parents that my happy face symbolizes the satisfaction that I have wanted for Christmas since *ahem* College *ahem* is finally over.
So what's next for me? Driving lessons, redoing my digital Portfolio (since my teacher completely ruined it for me), getting a new Videocam, and..... tackling the lost list of unfinished/unplayed videogames which mostly are RPGs.

R&C should help you have some fun with your PS3 though. One of the best games I've played for it so far, besides Heavenly Sword. Enjoy your time off.
I dont think I can handle college life....lol oh well yeah we all have had addictions in gaming believe me I used to break a bunch of controllers and all that stuff...its good that you tuned it down 
Lol glad college is over for you you get to do whatever you want now lol anyway, take care and good luck in what ever it is youre doing
Here's hoping that both of us can fix that trend.
Isn't there some sort of law against that or whatever? That SUCKS.
Kris - I gave Heavenly Sword a skip after comparing it with my so called "The BIg 3" and they are: God of War, Devil May Cry, and Ninja Gaiden. It just doesn't live up to the level of the presentation of those three. David - And I think I'm being sucked in by RPGs after swaying away from them all thanks to Final Fantasy XII for now
Brandy - Yep, that's one of the main reasons. RPGs take a lot of time to finish but they are definitely worth it in the end. Unfortunately, I only ended up playing action games over the past year since most of them are just pick-and-play.
Casey - YES! I have a portfolio subject wherein you're required to compile all of your digital works into one interactive portfolio. In this case, we were required to do it in Adobe Flash CS3. Ok sure, portfolio right!? Wrong! It's the teacher's portfolio in the end. It's not my portfolio anymore since my teacher criticizes almost every part of it and eventually changing my whole idea of how it's going to turn out to be.
Jim - As of now, I'm tackling quite a lot of RPGs but my self discipline is my priority for now and there is no more stress to fight with for the next few months
How's The Orange Box for the PS3. Is it really as bad as some of the reviews were saying?
Actually, it all depends on what controller are your comfortable with. The frame rate issue that most of the critics have been bashing was with all the Quick Saving function of the PS3 as well as having longer loading times by a second or two.
I've always been a fan of the Playstation controllers more than any other controller, so I will probably pick up Orange Box eventually. I'm interested in playing Portal.
