It turns out that I was playing the game wrong.  Crysis has been a source of great frustration for me.  I was trying to blame the game for my misfortune, but in reality, it was me.  I was the one who was doing it incorrectly.

Sometimes I feel like a complete idiot.  I hate how things that I would have thought very simple tend to escape me.  Since I have a small desire to hate computers and the internet, I think that the internet hates me a little.  So, I do not have a picture, but I have a link to a picture.  Of course, it is from my wife's facebook, because I do not have one.... 

Just for fun, I decided to input all of the games that I have in my possession into backloggery.  It currently is not too bad.  I am currently sitting at 89 games total.  That is not including my ps2 collection because it is not with me at the moment.  It is currently in AZ, a mere 1800 miles away from me.  Since, I do not remember everything in that collection I decided to leave it out, until I reclaim the games.  Since backloggery is a system built to help us out as gamers, I have decided to use it my own way.  In truth, I cheat.  I cheat the system to help me filter out what I actually plan on playing and what I know I will never get around to playing.

I just finished Bioshock this morning...  I seem to play most of my games in the morning, interesting.  This was the third, or fourth time that I have played through it.  I did enjoy it, but not as much as I did the first play through of the game.

Finished Bioshock Infinite this morning.  It is one of the best games that I have played recently, and that is saying something.  I have played quite a few great games so far this year, such as the witcher 2, MGS2, Dead Space 2.  I also seemed to have played quite a few sequels this year.

It is finally happening...  in 27 days.  Microsoft is going to be announcing the next generation on may 21st.  With all of the rumours swirling around, I am still somewhat optimistic about the next xbox.  It is quite possible that they have been sowing the seeds of doubt to lower our expectations.  That way when they announce the console, they will exceed our expectations.  

I was truly torn.

I had gotten some best buy gift cards and I did not know what to do with them. I did know that I wanted to spend it on one of two things.
1. Classic Doctor Who.
2. Bioshock Infinite.
At the time I did not know which option was more appealing to me. Both are things that I love. Doctor who is my favourite television show, ever. There are plenty of other shows that I love, but they tie for second. Shows like chuck, star trek: tos, red dwarf, fringe, and all of joss whedon's collection are sadly second string to doctor who. I have been slowly amassing a collection of the classic series and am up to nearly two dozen serials. I have yet to be dissappointed. So, I am eager to continue to expand my collection. Best buy always seems to have some of the classic serials on sale and I have been eyeing the key to time arc and the dalek war arc. Both are about 50% off, which is great, because I do not really want to spend $100 on the key to time story arc. Back to the point, I love doctor who and was thinking of getting some more with birthday cash.

Bioshock Infinite is another beast entirely. I throroughly enjoyed playing Bioshock, and enjoyed bioshock 2 even more. I would like to give more time to mgs3 than I gave to mgs2 because I have rather fond memories of mgs3. So, I am not too eager to dive right into snake eater. While I am working my way through Halo4 again, I am doing it with the weakly challenges. So, one level a week assuming that the challenges work with me. So, that leaves me with a little void as to what to play next. I still have a few other things in my backlog, but they are not screaming my name. Bioshock Infinite is screaming my name.

So, I was torn. Two things that I really wanted. With little help in making the decision. Then I decided to stop in a best buy. I never expect them to have the greatest selection of doctor who, and I was right. They did not have what I was looking for, but they did have Bioshock Infinite. So, I went with that.

One other thing of note. I found out that I had a bunch of reward zone money from best buy. So, I bought the dalek war anyways.  At that point it became a tough decision between doctor who stories.

It feels as though it has been raining nonstop for the past 3 days up here in milwaukee.  I go to work, it is raining.  I leave work, it is raining.  From what I can tell, it is supposed to continue raining.

GrayHaired has inspired me.  I have the MGS HD collection siiting in my backlog, and so I have decided to cross those games off the list.  Since these games are not new to me, I plan on playing on the easy difficulty.  I have less of a problem replaying these game on easy, because I know that they can easily become a time sink.
