4Q 2006 ..with an edit

The familiar taste of the epic easter/winter/summer "LANs" are hounting me. The spirit of LAN came over me this weekend, givin me the munchies. I want an Xbox360 now. My nextdoor neighbour Red Latter Blog and MEC had a run with Gears of War, so I dropped in and out, checking it out. At the same time, I and ZGB had a run of Neverwinter Nights 2 over Hamachi. So there was some kind of LAN-weekend going on, something I've missed alot. As night became day and day became night I got my hands on Gears of War, got to play it until my body gave up. Either Im getting older or Ive just lost the 'touch' of staying up at odd hours for days and nights playing games, 'couse I still feel tierd. Gears of War surpried me, and Neverwinter Nights 2 did give me good vibes (Ive just arrived in Neverwinter). The "Xbox live arcade" thingy has proven me wrong, Ive been reluctant to play those games -paying for crap....hmm...think not - but hell there actually are a couple of games I almost would think of buying if I just got myself one of those xbox360's. Perhaps this otherwise bad drought of no good games has come to an end, Im still sceptical though. Still not very impressed with the first 3Q's of 2006 but perhaps NOW will change. Can't wait for the Wii to get released, just hope it delivers and it won't be Wee in good games to come (like the GameCube). I will not buy it at release, there's one big name (guess what), a 'perhaps' or a 'maybe' and Im not prepared to buy another Nintendo product until it proves me wrong -that's the GC's fault. I've been stuck in the trenches of RTS gaming awhile now, like Relics latest masterpiece (and no, sadly enough, not DOW:DarkCrusade) and it got me thinking about the RTS's released on consoles....they usually suck 'cockheadass' but if the Wii will present a few RTS games..? ...and they probably are, but Im to tired to check that out now -got to get to bed, don't want to miss out tomorrows game-session in school, the german's 'pansy panza' shall crush the puny airbornes at 1200 zulu.

couldn't forget about the damn (perhaps nonexisting Wii) RTS's...i sure hope they'll give the Wii a real rts chance. the only game I found was Battalion Wars 2 and thats about as close as I came to finding a Wii rts. what the hell...not exactly what I wished for.
