As of late, I've found myself dodging what I should be doing, namely studying for neuroscience, german, and stats, and playing through my ever-increasing collection of games. In the past week, I've defeated three premier real-time strategy titles; Empire at War for the second time so I could better experience its sequel, and Dawn of War, in anticipation for Soulstorm. Next on the agenda: Winter Assault, Dark Crusade (which I purchased days after its release last year and have yet to beat), Prey (dug up a copy for three bucks at the local Half Price Books), eventually finish the Orange Box single-player games, and after that, who knows? I still play Team Fortress 2 frequently, but we'll see for how long.

Additionally, I despise the rating system for games. 0.5 increments is ludicrous and every game I rate seems to be too high or too low. Gamespot is annoying in its simplification of reviews, both its own and by users. This is my plea to revert to the Good Old Days.
