Video Games

So I have been thinking lately of my gaming situation or the lack there of. It took me about 15 minutes to think of the last game that really engrossed me and that game was released about two years ago. When I mean engrossed I mean not doing homework till the last minute and losing sleep to play just one more level. Don't think I haven't played other games since then, or thought other games were bad, because I have. I played Halo 3 extensively when it came out but I don't remember losing sleep over it. I also played Fallout 3 which I also played a lot but I stopped when school started at the beginning of the year. I have picked it up once or twice but it is to hard to get back into because I forgot were I was and how I was leveling up my character. I got Mass Effect for X-Mas and, from what I have played, is fun but I couldn't get into like Halo 3 or Bioshock (the last game I lost sleep over). I do follow the games industry and I do see games I want to buy and play. Then I just happen to have some spare time after work and go look at games at Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, were ever I happen to finish work for the day. I see games that I wanted to play and see that they have been out for weeks sometimes months. I don't know if its me or what, I should know the day of the week of when certain games come out. I have a hard time getting into games lately and just finding the time to play them is hard. This quarter in school is very interesting for me, computer programing and Linux. I have taken a different computer programing class before and I find it to be exciting to create stuff like that. Linux is something that I always wanted to learn but is one of those things that is better learned by someone teaching you. I am actually having fun learning what I am doing this quarter. With just those two classes and work I don't have much time sit and play a game for extended periods of time without getting sleeping (when I do play games). It seems that I am spending more time doing homework which is a first for me because I don't really like doing homework. I have been reading web comics a lot lately too, which has been taking up some of my time. I guess we can only see if this changes next quarter when my classes will be generals but then spring is around the corner so who knows.
Last week there was a new Simpson's, in HD no less, and I nearly cummed in my pants. I couldn't wait for Sunday night this week so I could watch another new episode but just my luck nascar is on. Now what am I going to do. Guess I will pop in a game, on second thought I think I will catch up on some streaming NetFlixs. Sorry Halo and Mass Effect.
