And here we are, 1 year later . . .  

Wow, talk about change.  Gone are the trappings of yearning for every new game coming out on the shelves (granted, theres not much coming out this year, but humor me) to be played for hours on end.  No more are the constant pangings for a controller to be in my hands every waking moment.    

No, I wasn't addicted to games or anything.  Just a different perspective.    

Games to me nowadays are a form of escape.  No more working college student going about normal working college student daily rites, instead I'm a dashing adventurer with a wicked half-tuck voiced none other than Nolan North.  I'm a warrior seeking only to vanquish those foolish enough to dare cross my path.  I'm a general commanding my forces with a confidant trepidation, knowing full well the cost of each loss on the battlefield. 
 
The past year has brought some change, that much is true. 
Sorry for bringing up an old topic, making you read idyllic ramblings of a bored youth. 
 
Now give me cake you fools.  More of it.

On Sunday, the 25th.  A year older, big deal and all, woopie doo, but the worst part about my birthday . . . 
 
I must refrain from buying pretty much anything for myself a month before.  So I have to hold out on walking into Target and picking up copies of Demon's Souls, Uncharted 2, Borderlands, etc.   It's pretty much horrible, because every year at this time, game upon game starts to come out, and typically of some quality.   But patience does pay off.  School is in full swing, midterms are almost over, and after that, it's a slight breath before the cycle begins again.  Hooray! 
 
BTW, National Geographic came in today . . . article showing the mummification of the pets of the Pharaohs . . . outstanding.  You can see the nose tissue of baboons and dogs.  You almost expect them to shake the dust off and go about their business.  Those guys really knew what they were doing.

My birthdays are easy, I can buy whatever I want since I only want money for my birthday. 
Now Christmas on the other hand is pretty much the same story... (and it doesn't help that my birthday is December 19th :P ) 
 
Anyways, I will be back here to wish you a Happy Birthday when the time comes

*UPDATE* 
 
So. Game related swag.  Borderlands.  Fallout 3: GOTY ed.  Infamous.  Demons Souls.  Uncharted 2 (in the mail on the way).  Modern Warfare 2 (pre-order all paid off.  Brother wrapped up this huge box and inside was the paid receipt.  Good kid). 
 
That is how it goes.  And I was just coming into this expecting Uncharted 2...totally blown away.   
 
Now off to watch the baseball game.  A Yankees victory would just seal this day as being one of the best of the year.   
 
Thanks to everybody out there!

Wow congrats on the amazing haul. It's nice to know that your brother knows you well enough to get you exactly what you wanted.
 
Enjoy those amazing games. You have made all of us jealous.

I'll give you 3 guesses as to why I'm bumping a year old topic. 
 

  • Played through Borderlands all the way through (sans any dlc) with 2 characters, figured out if I wanted to play Diablo, I might as well install it again. 
  • Fallout 3 GOTY passed me up.  Shoulda known.  Oblivion didn't take with me (despite humping my copy of Morrowind to no end), so it was foolish to think WRPGs are for me. 
  • Demons Souls was . . . . interesting to say the least.  Lets just leave it at that. 
  • Infamous was kick ass.  I just have to find like 2 more shards, and I'll get my platinum on that sucker. 
  • Modern Warfare just saw me finish playing a round of Hardcore Team Deathmatch.  I haven't even put 24 hours into the multiplayer. 
  • Uncharted 2 is simply amazing.  No words.
