So I've finally decided to make use of this blog feature I have here and make a weekly series of posts called My Fantastical Week.  The focus will be mainly about what I've been playing, but if something else important is eating up my time, you may hear about it here too.  One of the things that I hope will help this is my tendency to play a variety of games each week, frequently going back to some less recent releases.  I know I love to listen about new games when I listen to my podcasts, but sometimes it gets a little tiring hearing the same things said multiple times about those games.  Hopefully My Fantastical Week will give some fresh insight on some games you may not have thought of in a while together with some more recent ones as well. 
 
I only thought of the idea tonight, so this week's post will probably be a lot less structured and thought out than I hope they will be in the future.  I'll be trying to take notes on what I play and my thoughts to help organize in the coming weeks to help make it a better experience for you.  So we'll start off with the big news... I didn't end up playing too much this week.  Electronic Three kind of took up all of my free time this week.  I spent a lot of time here on Giant Bomb watching and reading about people playing video games instead of playing them myself.  I have to say, I'm really looking forward to this holiday season.  I did manage to peel myself away for a little bit every now and then to actually play something.  It's late and I haven't really prepared much, so I'll do a quick wrap up.  Earlier in the week I managed to finally beat Alan Wake.  That game is awesome, you should play it if you haven't yet.  The ending is great and really keeps you thinking about the game.  I may actually make this my first review on the site, we'll see how that goes.  Other than that, I picked up Green Day: Rock Band last week and have been going through the career mode.  I actually don't know too much of their catalog, but I love the stuff I have heard so I decided to give it a try.  I love the improvements in the vocals over Rock Band 2 that I assume carry over from The Beatles: Rock Band that I sadly haven't picked up yet.  It's a ton of fun and me and my brother are enjoying playing together to the songs we know.  Other than that, I played a couple hours of Torchlight on my computer.  I finally got an internet connection on my computer so I can continue my game.  I currently have a level 14 Destroyer.  I didn't really get to too much of it this week though.  Last, but not least, I played through the first episode of Sam & Max Season 2, Ice Station Santa.  I was very happy that it would run on my computer, many of my games require a better processor than it has.  I can't wait for my laptop I'm getting next month, an Asus G73JH.  Then I can finally play the many games I've bought through Steam but don't have a good enough computer for! 
 
Anyways, thanks for reading this test post of My Fantastical Week.  I will try to post a new one every Friday night/Saturday morning.  If you have any comments or advice, please let me know, I'm more than happy to try and make this better any way I can.  Come back next week for the inaugural full post of My Fantastical Week.
