Thanks for not using spoilers. Your blogs on this have inspired me to give these books a try.  Such a deep storyline to the Halo world. Too good to pass up.

This is a very easy game to get addicted to. For starters it's so vast,with tons of areas to explore. The characters are so vivid and alive. With such odd personalities you can't help but like them. I'd like to play through it as the Gunzerker next time. Been playing through the Captain Scarlett DLC,the pirate stuff. I like what you said about snipers in COD. You are so right,it's frowned upon. I just don't get that part. People run around like loons doing the "quick scope" method of killing. Sniper rifles were not put in the multiplayer to be used like that. It's absurd and even silly if you ask me. Have you ever tried the game Sniper,or the sequel? Might be one you would really like. I hear it is the best sniper game ever. Think it's called Sniper Elite.

I get into a cycle of purchases and then can't play them due to work. I have vacation coming up and I plan on doing some major gaming. Perhaps I'll get caught up some. Glad you are liking both systems. 3DS has really brought me back to Nintendo.

I've seen it at the store before at a great price. Should really pick it up. Always been curious about the storyline. 

I'm gonna be real careful about which games I download. Don't want to get bogged down with stuff I could buy for consoles. Chances are I will focus on games like the two you mentioned.

I'll have to look you up. Thanks for that,btw. It remains to be seen how much I will use it on the PC. If the Steam Box comes out this year that would be awesome. 

I discovered just a while ago the whole PS3 thing is bogus. You can only play Portal 2 and I have that on disk. Makes no sense. I think they were promoting Steam and used that as bait.

I'm gonna have to get that new Jed Marum music from iTunes. Sounds like you a great birthday. That game is definitely cool,one I want to get. That arcade machine looks like the one they have at Gardner's books. A place close to our office at work. I do miss arcades. But I guess it was something that outlived it's purpose,like Blockbuster.

I think it's only on PS3. Turns out it only works for Portal 2 . Seems I remember when they did that to help promote Steam.

Tami! I was missing you on here. I will look for you on there and add you. I would try playing on a laptop,if I could pry it from my wife's fingers! She is usually playing Sim City on it these days. So I'll be doing my Steam gaming on our desktop I'd imagine.
