Weekend Gaming

So there are literally a dozen great games I could be playing right now. Of course, Gamefly didn’t help out. Instead of sending something new, I get stuck with Tiger Woods. I’d rather be playing Rage or Forza 4. But truth is, I’m knee deep in Fallout New Vegas, and it’s all I really care to play at the moment. Things have really interesting really quickly in this game. I’ve got tons of quests and I’m playing this completely different than how I play Fallout 3. I’m really enjoying the year old Fallout New Vegas. So I think I’ll be playing a lot of that this weekend. And maybe a round or two of Tiger Woods 12.

What are you playing?

I had hoped that Gamefly would be sending me something good to play this first October weekend. After finishing up Crysis 2, I was ready to dig into some Rage or Gears of War 3. Instead, they’re sending me Tigers Woods 12. Way down. At the bottom of my Game Queue. Thanks, Gamefly. You’re service and availability has been worsening by the month. You’re on notice.

But, since Tiger Woods probably won’t arrive until Monday, I’ll be continuing my journey through the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout New Vegas. Maybe a little Enslaved and Age of Empires Online, too.

What’s everyone playing?

So I’m thinking of doing some things around here that I haven’t done before. And also possibly embarking on a journey to construct “The List”. And on top of all that, maybe change the look and feel of the site.

So first, something new: I am going to attempt to post at least one item a day for the month of October. Thirty-one posts in a month would almost be as many posts as I’ve had all year. That both bums me out and encourages me. Obviously, not every post is going to knock your socks off with witty, insightful content. Some may be funny pictures I found on Tumblr. But I have some reviews I’d like to write and just have some discussions about video games, what this blog ostensibly is about. We’ll see how this goes, but I’d really like to exceed 31 posts for the month of October.

Second, I refer to “The List”. There will be a more detailed post about this in the coming month, but basically, I’d like to build my definitive “List” of favorite video games. It should be fun and I hope some will play along at home.

Finally, I think I’m ready for a theme change around these parts. Nothing major, just a shake up.

So weekend gaming. Obviously I’ll be working on some gaming posts this weekend, but I’ve also got some gaming to do. I recently finished Crysis 2 on the Xbox 360, so I’ll be starting something new, probably Fallout: New Vegas. I’m also in the middle of Enslaved and still have Final Fantasy XIII to get back to. On top of that, I should be getting something new from Gamefly when Crysis 2 gets back. Probably Gears of War 3.
