    This holiday season, a lot of people are looking forward to Halo: Reach or the new Call of Duty.  I'm sure those will be great games and I'll be getting both.  What I'm looking forward to are the absolutely bizarre messages I will be receiving over Xbox Live due to Fable III.  I know a lot of RPG purist hate the Fable series, but I've never been a huge RPG fan.  I did really enjoy Mass Effect 2, but I feel both Fable and Mass Effect has a little more action to them than the traditional Final Fantasy type games.

Not to long ago I purchased Nicecast by Rogue Amoeba for my Mac, which allows me to broadcast a internet radio cast to a limited audience. To increase the audience you can buy server space, etc..... etc..........., Whatever. So I have started broadcasting as of about 8:00 PM last night with 0 listeners, but that's OK. I can tune in at work through my computer to check it out. Of course I started with "Radio Clash" by the Clash.

   I don't celebrate it!  At all! EVER!!!  I don't understand the holiday.  I explained to my wife sometime ago that the holiday isn't real.  I don't need a holiday to tell me I love my wife or significant other.  Sure the kids still get the cards or heart necklaces to take to school, like all kids.  I explained to my wife that I send flowers, when she doesn't expect it, because that's so much nicer.  Not on Valentine's Day, a birthday, or when she's mad at me.  I do it when it's special and not because everyone else does it.

    So I started re-organizing my office at work and decided to place some of my gaming figures I had laying around at home (mostly packed away) on my cradenza, just for the hell of it.  My office is open to the public, and I have foot traffic all day coming in and out.  I think everybody and their brother has coming in commenting about each game, with the most comments split between The Big Daddy and The Vault Tec Bobble Head.  (No room for my night vision goggles, plus when I did have them there the girls in my office kept running around the office in them).

      OK!!!!!!  I'm getting back a nice chunk of change on my tax return (about $7,000), and I have have a purchasing dilemma.  I have been thinking about replacing my 24 inch iMac (2 years old) with the new 27 inch, wide screen iMac.  This would be great, and then I would put the "old" Mac in my son's room, as this is what every school uses for their students.  My other choice is the new 55" Samsung LED 8000 Series.  The picture is unbelievable on it.  Looks like you could walk right into the picture, it's that good.

Mass Effect 2 has become my new "Crack"!!!!!!!!  I can't stop playing this damn game.  It's so engaging.  At first, I thought it was a little slow, but I was coming off of playing weeks of Modern Warfare 2 "twitch reaction gaming".  The level of depth has astounded me.  I've made mistakes and bad decisions with my character or crew members that I wish I wouldn't have, but it's interesting to see how it plays out anyways.  This is one deep universe!!!!!
