Fallout New Vegas Thoughts

I'm just not digging Fallout New Vegas.  Granted, I've had a hell of a week at work, putting in a lot of hours, and have really only played it for 2 hours.  I guess the first thing that turned me off was all the screen tearing in the opening sequence, then, I was trying to review the SPECIAL settings I had selected, and hit right trigger to cycle through them and it committed me.  Next, it just seemed kludgey.  I understand I'm building my gun skills up, but I was lucky if I was hitting a sarsparilla bottle one out of four tries.  The opening missions just seemed boring, and a rad scorpion had a hard on to kill me often.  Maybe I'll go back to it when things settle down a bit.

Next week, Best Buy has a buy 2 get 1 free on select games.  I guess I'll pick up Star Wars: Force Unleashed and Fable 3.  Not sure what to grab for the third game, Smackdown vs. Raw 2011?  Shaun White Skateboarding? Castlevania?  Sims 3?  FIFA 11?  I guess we'll see.  I'm kind of leaning towards Smackdown.  Laugh if you will, but fighting games can be fun, and I've had a decent time with SVR 2010.  I don't know, maybe Castlevania.

Guess I should do some football picks:

Alabama @ Tennessee - Bama, get through this game, into the bye week and see if we can't regroup and come out swinging against LSU

LSU @ Auburn - Tough one.  Both have been charmed, but API has been extremely lucky.  I'm going to go with LSU

Georgia @ Kentucky - Another tough call.  I think Georgia's been on the mend, so I'm picking them.

Wisconsin @ Iowa - Wisconsin.  I still ain't giving Iowa respect.

Nebraska @ Oklahoma State - Nebraska

Oklahoma @ Missouri - I don't know much about Missouri, but Oklahoma hasn't been playing consistently well.  Still, I'll pick Oklahoma.
