Well, it's been about 4 months since I've come on to GB because I've been in medical school in another country and I just don't have time. I get 2 weeks vacation, and it's already over, I go back next weekend. 
 
Man do I miss games, if you've done the math, I've missed pretty much all of the big games that came out, the ones I'm most sad about missing are MW2 and Borderlands. But I still managed to get AC2 on sale from Amazon for a cool 40 bucks, so I thought, "what the hell, I'll beat it during my vacation." So when I get back home last week, my package was awaiting me with my brother, excited as I was, even though I arrived in the airport at 1:30 am, I popped it in right away when I got settled and played through the night. 
 
I wake up next morning to find my brother using my xbox to watch a movie, I told him that I don't have time to watch movies, I want to finish AC2. So as he puts in the cd, he accidentally knocks over my xbox, and a terrible clicking sound is heard. I immediately take out the disk, afraid of it getting scratched, and there is this perfect little ring of scratches around the cd. Of course, I was only about 8 hours in, just completed the first Tomb in Tuscany, and now I can't play any more. It's been 4 months since I even picked up a controller, and now I'm stuck with nothing to play, and no time to play anything new. I'm sad, this is turning out to be a pretty pathetic vacation. On top of all this, I have to help my brother move tomorrow. :( 
 
Thanks for reading if you did, I know it's a rant, but I thought it was a pretty sad story, and right at the start of the new year, so I'm bummed, and I'm also conflicted about buying another copy of AC2 from amazon for 40 bucks, as I probably won't have enough time to finish it.
