Modern Warfare 2-less

Yes people, I is MW2-less. You can stop snickering now.

Modern Warfare 2

Since we’ve all been busy with the house stuff (have I mention that I hate moving?), gaming for me has been reduced to at most 20 minutes of Fallout a day. AT MOST! What the heck can I do in 20 minutes? I can’t even finish one round of looting and selling…Yes, cry for me please, because my tears are spent.

Plus, we’re trying to save up for renovation funds, so naturally, game buying is a nono. The last game I bought (well my sister bought) was Bishock and Ghost Recon. (which happened to be my first on-topic post hahahahaha(then again, what is the topic?)

So it really makes me mad when EVERYWHERE on the internet, people are talking about Modern Warfare 2. Gamespot(duh), Gamercast Network, Destructoid, Kotaku, Gizmodo, even on the many podcasts I listen to! It’s EVERYWHERE. There is nowhere to hide form this topic. Like when MJ passed away (may he rest in peace), it’s just sad.

Meh so this is just me ranting…I will get it when it becomes cheaper, seeing that I still have 50 more hours of Fallout 3 left. Plus Bioshock to be played. Or I can suffice with COD4 with my Mac. Many ways to REMIND MYSELF THAT I’M NOT PLAYING MODERN WARFARE 2 LIKE ALL THE OTHER COOL KIDS.

End of sad Post.

EDIT: Another two news feeds about MW2 from Kotaku right after I posted this. SPARE ME, INTERNETZ!!

NEW GAMES: Ghost Recon and Bioshock

with thanks to my lovely sister the sponsor.

This is the story:

So today, my sister and I went out and paid a little visit to the game store we have not visited in a while. We got all our PS3 games there. Heck, I think we’ve even got our PS3 console there. Anyhoo, today we went and for some weird reason the store was superbly crowded, especially around the PS3 games section. We maneuvered our way through the crowd to a nice spot where we can see most of the titles, and then we started to try and decide which one to get. The game on the top of my list was Batman Arkham Asylum because, man, the whole internet is crazy over it and I know I HAD to get the game! But it’s a freakin 79 bucks, so screw that, it can wait. And Uncharted 2 was the thing-to-get for some reason, even saw a guy having this conversation with the store person about them not having a copy of it when he wanted it blah blah blah etc. but I haven’t heard enough of the game to care, so that can wait to.

And then I saw Bioshock for 29 bucks. DING DING, here’s a funny story: On my last birthday, this really good friend of mine bought me a copy of Bioshock for PC. I was beyond thrilled, but I went home and tried to play it on my laptop and apparently the laptop couldn’t handle the awesomeness that disk contained, so it wouldn’t play. Months & months & months later, my laptop died and got replaced by a good old Mac Book Pro I bought secondhand from my cousin. Like the saying goes: Macbook Pros don’t run PC games. And so, that copy of the game never saw the sunlight again (Well, not counting those times when I took it out to drool over it.) DING DING, end of story. The moral of the story? My sister bought it. 29 bucks, that’s less than half of Batman, and I’m not even using a calculator.

Beside Bioshock, there’s the Orange Box that contained the game Portal which I had been wanting to play for a while; there’s Ghostbusters; there’s Assassin’s Creed, and then I saw Ghost Recon. Immediately it brought back memories of the time when my cousin and I rented it and it broke his PS3. Good times, good times.

So in the end, we got Ghost Recon and Bioshock. Two games richer, whoots! (30 hours of my life poorer – for bioshock at least). Now it’s between completion of Fallout 3 and the starting of the new games. To complete or begin, to complete or begin…that is the question.

I’ll think about it after I finish Fallout 3.

End of Post.
