Hey everybody! I'm back, finally.....
It's been a while, but now I have successfully defended my master's thesis and, save for a few revisions, I have a little bit more time on my hands. Man, it's been a rough stretch, I can only hope it will get better now that I'll be out of the academic world. I noticed my last blog was in March! (õ_0) I've been outta the gaming loop too long. That being said, I have kept up some with gaming news and of course the release of all the glorious games that I've been dying to play. I did cave one weekend and play some Fallout 3 and that was great! Focusing briefly on that game, while the weekend was certainly not enough time to beat that gem, it was certainly enough time to get my hands dirty. I told my friends that weekend that I knew I should be angry because Bethesda essentially re-skinned Oblivion with a Fallout theme but I wasn't. It worked, mainly because Oblivion was so good. While I miss the top down view of the Fallouts of the past, this new Fallout takes that familiar distopian feel and combines it with everything that was good about Oblivion. Very enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to getting back into it. I also played Gears of War 2 recently and so far that seems like a surprisingly nice sequel. Other titles I'm anxiously waiting to play is Dead Space and the rash of SquareEnix RPGs coming out on the 360. Then again, I have to finish GTA 4, FF XII and then finally start working on Twilight Princess. So many good games.....so little time.
