Its sitting there... connected to the TV, all vertical and oddly shaped... Alright, so the strangest thing happened. I've been a PC gamer, almost exclusively, for about 7 years now. That isn't to say that I didn't play PC games before then, but I just wasn't so 'exclusive'. Rather, I was primarily a console gamer. Yet, for the last 7 years - around the time I began getting into MMOs (imagine that) - I have been playing purely PC games except for some Multiplayer fun with friends. My gaming life has been feeling a little stale lately. I decided to go and do something crazy, so I went and picked up a Playstation 3 (Gasp! Shock!) after some deliberation (a long period of time). Basically, I'm trying to breathe a little life into my gaming and get some more perspectives on what games can do and what they can be, other than just the normal staple of PC games that I usually play. Its actually rather entertaining, as I feel like I'm bringing back my old gaming styles and fusing them with the new. Probably even more true as I'm hopelessly addicted to (a heavily modded) Oblivion on the PC again too - but, I'm an Elder Scrolls addict. As for the PS3, though, I imported english copies of Ratchet and Clank Future, Folklore, and digitally purchased Warhawk and Everyday Shooter. All four games are great in their own right so far. Now, for my friends and family back in America, panicing over all this talk about the gaming I'm doing: Worry not. I'm still studying a whole bunch daily, attend all my classes, get all my work done, work for WarCry, run my game development group for Metaplace, and socialize a-plenty. Somehow. So, shush!
