Shared on Wed, 02/04/2009 - 16:30I figured since I'm a designer I probably should get my act together and come up with some kind of unique Blog Header....and a funny picture!
I'm an Xbox 360 newbie =) Last week I got back from a month long work trip where I put in over 300 hours! I work for a litigation consulting company and travel to trial sites from time to time developing opening/closing and expert presentations/demonstratives used in court. But that's not important.. what is, is that my company pays out overtime for these trips and my "gift" to myself was an Elite Xbox 360, and 5 games to get me started on this new gaming adventure.
I was 7 or 8 when my dad bought a C64 for my sister and I for xmas... and my trigger happy fingers were never the same. I've mostly been a PC gamer, but I still have my original Playstation, and played a ton of PS2 when it came out.
I've "quit" playing World of Warcraft about a year and a half ago and need something to "fill" some free time and the Wii is just not cutting it. It was a VERY hard adjustment to just stop playing cold turkey as I was probably putting in a good 25+ hours per week raiding. Up at all kinds of hours of the night, trying to "finish" a boss. Leading raids and getting pissed off at people. Crazy times but my personal life and sanity was fading away so I had to stop. The past year has been filled with work and more work and I started to miss gaming. What I have missed most though was the human interaction. Logging in daily to the guild and being welcome by a group of people that "spoke the same language". So I finally convinved myself that 360 was the way to go as I will get to play with other humanoids from time to time. Not to mention I got a brand new Sony XBR 6 42" TV that sits and collects dust otherwise! But more about the set up in a later post when I get my horrible cord situation taken care off =)
Since I usually take time off after these intense work trips, I spent last week on the sofa playing Fable 2... and replaying it... and playing some more after finishing the game. It has a lot of similarities to WoW, even the fact that I played for 12 hours straight, two days in a row =)
