Yeah, I know I promised an update, but honestly I can't let you know how it is working where I work – NDAs and stuff. So, back to what I can tell you.

First, having no internet access sucks. I'm piggybacking off of someone's wireless connection. Nothing worse than that.

I've played through Bioshock and saved the little sisters. The game lives up to the hype. Go and get this one and pay full price. It saves me a review. Actually, CliffyB has a really good review on his site which mimics my thoughts – check it out.

At midnight on September 25 I was one of the dorks who joined the rest of the world in launching Master Chief to the status of being the richest video game character on the planet. Four of us from work went to Best Buy and joined the rest of the people who were waiting for ummm... a video game. Well, I was there to get the schwag. I got a t-shirt and a hat... and some blow-up phallic thing with Halo on it. I actually bought the Legendary edition to sell on e-bay at Christmas when the fleecing usually hits a fevered pitch.

Am I going to play it? Probably after I get it through Gamefly. I can wait. I never got past the first few chapters in Halo 2 – so I’ll be totally lost. My friend Alan Noon has a good writeup so far, so check his site out: http://alan-noon.blogspot.com/.

My next two games are Stranglehold and MOH: Airborne. Stranglehold is pretty much the demo all over again. Without your “Tequila Bombs” on Normal the game is actually pretty difficult. Fun? Not really, I just felt like I was grinding it out. Hit the trigger, new guys spawn, kill them and move on. Meh.

MOH:Airborne is a different thing altogether. I had to put it down to go to work, but it made me a half hour late. Damn! I think I was having fun! So, we’ll see how the rest of the game shapes up.
