The Gaming Experiment

Alright, I’m back. It’s been a damn long while, but I’m back. I completely realize that my last post said that I would be back in a couple days. Well, a couple days turned into a couple weeks... A lot of stuff has happened in the last couple weeks, I bought a house and had to deal with all the stuff that comes along with that. Like setting up TV (I can’t miss too many Judge Judy’s), internet (low latency while playing MW2 is critical), and phone (how else will telemarketers bother me during dinner? They have to make a living too).

So I had to take a hiatus from the site, maybe I’ll call it a furlough. But I’m back, and because I took a break from the site and the experiment doesn’t mean that I took a break from gaming. I was able to pile in a lot of gaming over the last couple weeks.

I was able to complete Assassin’s Creed 2, and I Prestiged in MW2. I told myself that I would stop with MW2 multiplayer once I prestiged, but that didn’t happen, and now I am level 40 again. It’s like crack I tell you! I can’t stop. The thing that really makes MW2 so addictive is that it’s extremely easy to jump into and play for a bit, then sign off.

But I have certainly been playing less MW2 than I had in the past because I also picked up Mass Effect 2, and the reviews for that have been crazy. I have a couple friends at work who have been playing it, and actually beat it, who had completely different endings. That alone has been very encouraging to know.

I also picked up the sequel to my 2007 game of the year, Bioshock 2. I still haven’t been able to play it, but I hope to dig deep into it this weekend.

But probably my biggest pick up over the last month or so has been my new dog. He is a Shih Zhu, and his name is Fozzie Bear, but we call him Fozzie for short.

So over the last month, what have you been up to? Any new games? What are you looking most forward to in the next coming week? Keep an eye open next week for Heavy Rain, I’m pretty darn excited for that one.
